SUMMARY: With rising temperatures, it’s important to consider the safety of pets. WTV’s Jake White interviewed a local veterinarian in Lee County, emphasizing the need for caution during hot weather. Walking dogs on hot pavement can cause severe pain, ulcerations, and wounds on their paws. A useful test is to place the back of your hand on the ground; if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. The veterinarian suggests walking dogs in the early morning or evening and bringing plenty of water. Even just over five minutes on hot pavement can be dangerous for dogs.

SUMMARY: Bauhaus Furniture in Saltillo recently faced the closure of its plant, putting 75 local jobs at risk. However, the situation took a positive turn when the company announced it had found a buyer. The closure was initially prompted by a soft business market and uncertainties surrounding tariff wars. Local workers had been notified of potential layoffs, but the buyer’s intervention saved their jobs, offering hope to the small town’s economy. The announcement was made on March 8, and, for now, the plant remains operational, allowing employees to keep their jobs and support their families.
