Hot weather

[joannaryan]

I don't know what the temps. are in all the areas around the world but it has been in the high 90's here and the weekend is going to be in the 100's. Toby does not tolerate the heat well at all! So to all the boxer mommies and daddies out there be sure to keep plenty of water for your furbabies if you are outside in the hot temps and to not keep them out for too long of a period of time, with their short coats and snouts it's hard for them to tolerate the heat. We also have a pool to Toby to keep cool too. Enjoy your summer

We try to keep ours in the house as much as possible this time of the year.
It is awful here and the humidity is bad as well.

Pools help, so do sprinklers, but hey do not need to be outside much this time of the year.

It's raining here but we had a few hot days, too. Sky loves to be outside. We have a pool for her and thankfully there are a lot of cool and shady spots in our yard because I can't get this girl to come inside,

Mine goes outside for her business only. We're here in Florida so it's hot and humid. No one wants to stay out in that.

I am doing my best to get mine out early. Arabella loves to fetch her tennis ball and has a rountine with DH to go after he gets home from work. It is just 3-5 throws right now. I am taking her out longer in the morning instead. We are under an excessive heat warning for until Friday night. And unfortuantely the heat is going to be following us into TN this weekend.

It is going to follow you. We are in the upper nineties and staying there. No rain in sight. My pups go out about five in the morning for an hour, then they go out again to potty in the late afternoon for less than five minutes, then we go out to play about nine thirty. I don't know what we would do without the water hose & wading pool.

Yup it's hot here in the flatlands of Nebraska,as it's supposed to be in the 100's with high humidity so GDOGS will be spending lots of time indoors until the late evening hours or early in the morning when I get up at 0500 hrs

Its even hot in Michigan, supposed to be 100 on Thursday! We got Lucy a pool and we play in the hose a lot right now.

I am super paranoid about Juno being in the heat, after our little $800 emergency last summer:

Basically if I'm uncomfortable outside, then I decide it's too hot for Juno to be out exercising. I am okay with taking her to the lake to swim, at least the water keeps her cool and she can drink out of it if needed... but we don't do walks or fetch. Usually I just say sorry, today is going to be a lazy, boring day!

I never used to worry about the heat but she has proven that she is extra-sensitive to it, so she just gets to suffer through limited activity in the summer . I think we're actually more active in the dead of winter!
