What dogs do in 105 degree heat

They look so comfy. Can I come snuggle with them? I need a nap. Hopefully you have AC there to keep them cool?

Thanks! Oh my goodness, yes, about the AC....I don't know how people who don't have it cope in this heat. As of August 1, nine people have died in the Dallas county area, and two did not have working air. Countless others have had heat strokes and heat exhaustion. So many people, especially the elderly, simply can't afford the electric bills.

I've been wondering where pics of your gorgeous pups where. I have Boomer up on my PT calander.

Stay cool.

Awwww, cute puppies!!!

We don't run our air unless we absolutely have to. So our dogs prefer to lay on the hardwood floors.

Yes, ours like to lie on the hardwood floors, too....especially when they are hot....they lie in front of the AC vents. Ours are down low, and they both know where they are located so they can get extra cool! LOL Not spoiled one little bit!

The heat has been unbearable here as well. 100° ambient, with an index of 108° on several sequential days. I haven't been out in the Yard for over 10 minutes during the day, for the last month. Being real cool is not comfortable to me, we keep the house at about 76-78° and the bill is still extremely high. Now, here's the kicker...

I must have two of the most cold natured Yorke's ever !

Both of mine (when napping) will migrate to the most fluffy and convoluted arrangement of old Towels and Quilts that are available. AND, frequently through the day, will go outside (we have a Doggy Door) and lay face up directly in the Sun for as much as 10 to 15 minutes.
