    Oh my goodness, how frightening! Sparky, I am glad you seem to be OK now. Sending you gentle cuddles.

    So glad you have a new a/c compressor coming - with this being the start of the summer, you are going to need that for all 3 of you to keep healthy!

    I'm sure this scared you as well, Ellie. I am sorry this happened, with luck it won't happen again now the a/c is going to be working soon.

    I'm glad Sparky is okay, too and I'm sending gentle cuddles too!

    Oh dear! I am glad Sparky is ok now and over his heat stroke! Lots of gentle petting to both doggies and a big hug for you, Ellie! All our prayers are with you and we hope you all sleep well tonight

    Oh my! My heart was racing while I was reading this. I can imagine how you felt going through it. I am so sorry poor Sparky is not feeling well. I hope you get the house cooler and he is better soon.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I just read this thread. Oh My, How scarey that was! I am glad Sparky is still with you and hope he stays that way a long time. I'm glad you're getting a new a/c. I cant stand hot temps; it seems that Luke & Sissy & me like it cool & LilGirl likes it hot. Hugs to Sparky & Myndi and you too.

    That is very scary, and especially since it was at night. Thankfully he is okay for now. It was miserably hot here yesterday and today as well. Hoping this isn't a sign of what sort of summer we will have. Hugs to Sparky and prayers for all.

    Also, I don't know if you ever heard of doing this, but you can put a bowl of ice in front of the fan and it will send cooler air your way.

    Man, the title of the thread scared the bejeeminies out of me. Poor guy and poor you. I don't sleep well when mine are sick.

    I'll say a few prayers that he stay with you for a long time to come.

    Just finished reading your post Pom-- I can just imagine what kind of a night you had. Between the heat and the scare Sparky gave you you must be ready for an early night. So thankful that Sparky didn't suffer a heart attack, but a heat stroke can't be much better for his system. Poor little guy, he sure does get a lot of bad luck, let's hope the rest of his summer will be uneventful.
    What a rotten time for your a/c to go, we changed ours this year to be on the safe side. It was still working fine but 16 yrs old so it just wasn't worth chancing that it would go in the heat. We're having a heat wave ourselves. They've been predicting rain for the past 2 weeks but nothing yet. Lots of thunder and lightning last night but no rain. But the temperature is going down tonight, it's actually cool right now, might get that rain.

    I hope you can get to bed early and sleep through the night without any more scares from Sparky. Sending cool vibes and prayers your way so that both of you can get relief from the heat, I just can't imagine having the room at 92, don't think I could survive that . The hottest I can stand is 72 so when I read 92 I looked again thinking I made a mistake. Here's hoping everything goes as planned and your a/c is installed Thursday, you don't need more scares from that little guy. But if something delays the installation and you get another spell like that maybe you could put Sparky in a tub of lukewarm water to cool him off, being wet with fans blowing on him might help a tad. Anything to keep him comfy.
    Sending artic air for bith of you

    I've been frosted--- thank you Cassie'smom

    I've been Boo'd----
