Heat and Pets

We are venturing into a nasty heat wave again this week and it's very important that you keep your pets as cool as you want to be! They can get as over heated as a human and just as fast!

Rules I have put in place for their safety include:

NO CAR RIDES!
If I'm taking them to the store and Jim is with me, I'll make sure he stays with them in the car with the engine running and air going. Cars are like ovens even with open windows.

Limit outside play time.
Even walking outside to check the mail can be miserable! Short bathroom breaks are sufficient.

No Walks.
Wait for late evenings. The pavement is so hot and can injure their pads.

Provide plenty of fresh water!

What do you guys do in this heat to protect your pets?

We stay in the truck a/c full blast n only venture out so he can potty..102 today !

It's really too hot! Ugh... we're in the ac too.

These are all great rules to go by. Lex loves water, so I get the garden hose after her when it`s hot

Ava loves the hose too Ed! She is so much fun! And Boo, well she hates water! It's only good enough to drink!

It's hot here too. So I hose down Tiana and max does not like water but I still spray him down anyway. They have ice cubes in their water bowls and I also have frozen water bottles they can lick on.

Shy, Stewie doesn't like the hose either..but..when i got him i tried pouring water on him with a gallon jug..he loves it so much all i have to do is get one n say "do u want water?" n he rolls on his back for me to pour it all over him..n he stretches n wiggles like its the best thing ever.. ..maybe Max would be the same way..

I`m surprised max and tiana weren`t in swim outfits!

Complete with water wings too!

See now that y'all said something I wasn't gonna dress up mah dogs in swim trunks BUUUUUTTT now that has gotten my curiousity peaked....I'm gonna look at the lil girls section for a bathing suit for Tiana n max can always use the boys trunks n I'll put one on him I blame y'all for max and Tianas demise

I wanna see Tiana in a bikini! LMFAO!

I wanna see them too!

You two need to go SIT in a corner ! How dare u encourage a known pet dressophile !
