Bachelorette reject Jason Mesnick, who DeAnna Pappas passed on in her search for love, has signed on to be the new Bachelor when the series on ABC returns in January 2009.
The details are still being hammered out, but in a recient interview Jason mentions "You go into a process like this and you have no idea what to expect from it—me being this regular single dad from Seattle, you have no idea," he said. "But you can really find somebody in a show like that. If they look for the right people anything is possible."

As an animal lover, its important to make sure if our pets HAVE to be outside in this hot weather that we make sure they are taken care of.. so.. I have found some tips to keep the kitty or the pup safe!
Never leave your pet alone in a vehicle—hyperthermia can be fatal. Even with the windows open, a parked automobile can quickly become a furnace in no time. Parking in the shade offers little protection, as the sun shifts during the day.
- Always carry a gallon thermos filled with cold, fresh water when traveling with your pet.
- The right time for playtime is in the cool of the early morning or evening, but never after a meal or when the weather is humid.
- Street smarts: When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog stand on hot asphalt. His or her body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.
- A day at the beach is a no-no, unless you can guarantee a shaded spot and plenty of fresh water for your companion. Salty dogs should be rinsed off after a dip in the ocean.
- Provide fresh water and plenty of shade for animals kept outdoors; a properly constructed doghouse serves best. Bring your dog or cat inside during the heat of the day to rest in a cool part of the house.
- Be especially sensitive to older and overweight animals in hot weather. Brachycephalic or snub-nosed dogs such as bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers, Lhasa apsos and shih tzus, as well as those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.
Stay alert for signs of overheating in pets, which include excessive panting and drooling and mild weakness, along with an elevated body temperature.
