Both my male and female go for walks after sundown usually around 8:30 pm. I feel like the pavement is just too darn hot for their feet. But, my male likes to suntan on the pool deck which does not get hot like pavement. My female, I'd say she is an indoor lover. Sometimes when they go out in the back he lays down and she will go to the sliding glass door to come in. I let her in and tell the kids to check on the "Life Guard" in 10 min. He usually will be at the door in about 20min anyway.
