All week I couldn't see the foothills in any direction. Today you could just barely see them for the first time in days. There were a few days where you could really smell the smoke. I read one news story today that warned if you live in an area where the smoke is particularly thick you shouldn't even walk your dogs outside. We've been walking a third or less of our normal walk due to the health dangers associated with the particulates in the air. Vets report pet owners are bringing in pets with weepy eyes, skin irritation, breathing problems and lethargy. It is awful down in the South Bay.
