Ha ha he was terrified of the pool at first when he was little, just liked dipping his mouth in to get the ball out.
Hi Emma, Love your suggestions. Daisy loves water and I got her a kiddie pool, which she has fun in. Also, your cooling pads suggestion is great. I use mine in her carrier, so when we fly and she is under my seat, she stays nice and cool! Pam
Thanks Pam! What brand of cooling mat to you use? You have such great suggestions on gear, thank you!
OMG, Emma! I just ordered the ChillyBuddy jacket from Clean Run! It has been unforgivably hot and muggy/humid, and Chester really just gets "balky" in the heat! He'll walk directly toward a shady, grassy spot, and throw himself down on his tummy, saying… " this walk is over!" We went for a walk so early this morning trying to get some coolness. We walked under shady trees for a half hour, but it was still drippy humid hot. We rounded a corner turning away from home, and Chester took his little terrier head and threw it meaningfully toward home. Then he planted his front feet. What could I do but turn around? Satisfied, he trotted me steady home and flopped in his wading pool. When I read your post I ordered the ChillyBuddy straight away! So excited for it to come! Thanks! Fondly, Chester and Darcy
