Captain Colonial Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sophie, the other Westie in my life, and in common with every other dog in the country right now, has been looking for ways to cool down. However, she also is a bit of a hippy and loves to explore the garden and smell (and eat) the flowers. So when she was MIA yesterday afternoon, I went into the garden and in the shady part, I found this: "I like flowers - so what?" Hoping your animals are staying cool in this heat wave as well.

User0083 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Father in law has to German shepherds, one's traditional colouring, the other's "Blue". The blue one has very long and thick fur. They get walked by a river or pond (depending on direction taken) most days and the blue one got in the pond and just stood there for about 20 mins. They couldn't get him to move! When home a bucket of water was filled to give them a wash... Every time they approached him there was a raised lip and a bit of a rumble... Out on my daily 8-12 mile walk I've seen loads of RSPCA vehicles going around car parks. I was informed (by a friend) that if there is an animal left in a hot car they will break the window, remove the animal and leave a note. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ours tends to lie in the sun as much as she can, then pants like hell and refuses to drink. Stupid thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 My dog won't lie in the sun. She says it's too hot and she sits in the kitchen watching films on her laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User0083 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Can we include cats? Here he is now. I have been poking home to check he's alive the past few days. Stays there motionless for hours... Different spots depending on the shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooch Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Here's Pippa The Pooch - A Bearded Collie. Clearly inappropriately dressed for this unexpectedly warm weather. She's moved into the shade under the conifer hedge at the bottom of the garden where she can keep a bit cooler, but still check out the passing pups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I have a friend who has some huge hairy thing. It's black and hairy. Very hairy. It's big, black and hairy. That's the best I can do really. It's huge, black and hairy. He's got it a plasterers mixing pool and is turning the garden hose on this huge, black hairy thing. ed to add that I've looked it up and it's a Russian Black Terrier. It weighs more than HM!
