Danger!:  Dog Paws Burn in Heat

It is that season and we wish to remind all homeowners in Comstock Park HOA that the heat substantially increases the temperature on asphalt and concrete! An outside temperature of 90 degrees means the asphalt temperature is 150 degrees.

Burn symptoms are as follows:

The affected area is reddened and swollen (1st degree)
Clear blisters are visible (2nd degree)
The skin is charred (3rd degree)

You can avoid burning your dog’s paws by:

Do the “seven-second test” before walking your dog.
Walk your dog on grass or in meadows.¹⁰
Walk your dog at times when the ground is cooler – early in the morning or late in the evening.

If your dog’s paws get burnt, call your vet as soon as possible. If not treated properly, the paws can get horribly infected and it can be expensive.

Mountain Lion Climbed Fence on Steptoe

A Mountain Lion was seen climbing a fence on one of our homeowner’s property. Wildlife Management was called and they directed us to inform you that mountain lions have been venturing out of their domain due to a lack of food. Wildlife said that our pets are the targets.

PLEASE BE AWARE AND CAUTIOUS

Mailbox Key and Keyhole

Several of the homeowners have asked the Board about their mailbox keys getting stuck in their mailbox keyhole and it has become very difficult to open their mailbox. We reached out to the USPS. The USPS’s responsibility is to provide new homeowners with keys and to replace keys if lost or stolen. The maintenance of each homeowner’s mailboxes is their responsibility.
