A Word From Second Home Pet Resort
Heatstroke (Hyperthermia)
In Arizona, where heatstroke is all too common for people and pets alike, the best way to protect your pet from falling victim to this serious or even fatal condition is to know its signs and treatments.
First, remember that your dog has to be "conditioned" to outside exercise just like you do. Don't begin with an hour-long jog or desert hike; start with small, 15-minute walks around your neighborhood and over several weeks, gradually increase to more lengthy outings. ALWAYS carry plenty of water for both you and your dog, and don't forget to bring a collapsible bowl for your dog to drink from!
Heatstroke occurs when normal body mechanisms cannot keep the body's temperature in a safe range. Animals do not have efficient cooling systems (like humans who sweat), and they can get overheated easily. A dog with moderate heatstroke (body temperature from 104-106 degrees Fahrenheit) can recover within an hour if given prompt first aid and veterinary care (normal dog body temperature is 100-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit). Severe heatstroke (body temperature above 106 degree Fahrenheit) can be deadly, and immediate veterinary treatment is required.

LEXUS LF-Gh --- What You Can Expect
In The Grand Touring Tradition
With the LF-Gh, Lexus takes the idea of the grand touring sedan one step further. The LF-Gh was designed to be a high-performance concept capable of providing a moving driving experience, and comfortably transporting multiple occupants at higher speeds on long-distance drives. It combines a strong sense of presence and emotional appeal with functional attributes, supplying enhanced creature comforts plus the practical ability to transport personal supplies and luggage necessary for extended travel. Even while maintaining serene passenger comfort, it is a car designed to inspire and captivate the driver as hours behind the wheel accumulate.
The bold, wide stance is consistent with the goal of inspiring dynamic excellence on the road. Fundamentally, these are the proportions of an agile, responsive sedan built on an advanced rear-wheel-drive platform. The distinctive long greenhouse design provides the potential for functional passenger benefits, such as generous interior room for all four passengers, ample cargo area, and excellent forward visibility.
LED lighting hints at the range and scope of new materials, electronics and dynamic systems that endow this concept vehicle with state-of-the-art performance, driving control, and safety features. Overall, the LF-Gh’s styling embodies the definition of what an authentic grand touring sedan from Lexus could be.
