Hot Weather Care for our Dogs

[JazzNScout]

Water dishes filled with ice cubes. A fan blasting on the lanai. And I bring them in no later than 11:00 -- lately a lot earlier. It's been so hot. I even put a fan on them in the air-conditioned house - always have. Walks early early or as the sun is going down. Play time = hose time. What a mess!
I have been wanting to get a baby pool -- Maybe I'll break down and do it this year.
Gayle, that is so cute that yours lined up and this crew doesn't have the interest.

I usually keep my dogs inside most of the day. But if they stay out side I have a small kids pool that Bandit just love to jump in, and I spray them with the water hose. Bandit also tries to attact the water coming out of the hose. It's some pretty good entertainment for me and the kids. lol I also have a large stainless steel bowl I use for water that I will fill up with Ice and water but I have to keep an eye on bandit because he will knock it over trying to play in the water instead of drink it. The dog goes nuts around water.

DJ is an outside dog during the day, but he has a nice shaded breezeway to hangout on and recently since we started hitting the high 90's and 100's in Central Texas we set out a kiddy pool for him to splash around in....
