Par - I sent the dogs to stay with my mom. I kept the cats here with me. They seemed to handle it fine and were acting normally. I have some wood floors that they sprawled on to try to get a bit cooler. Skylar wouldn't stop playing and I was scared he'd get overheated so I kept soaking him in water.

micki - We could have a big one in October or November sometime so it'll be cool for everyone. But if some of us wanna do a test-run, we should! I wouldn't mind driving up there sometime this month. The only problem is if the dogs are hard players, it'd be too hot for them.
