When I left work today, it was 103 degrees outside at 6:15 PM.  At lunch time the steering wheel in my car was so hot that I had to hold it with a tissue.  Now THAT’S hot!  Too hot by my standards!  In keeping with the season and the extreme heat, I thought I’d continue to post images of ways to keep your dog (and yourself!) cool!  It’s so important to protect our pets from heat stroke.  In the top blog image, a woman is keeping her feetsies cool by going barefoot while her St. Bernard is covered with a cooling blanket.  They are shown again below just before ring time at the Chester Valley Kennel Club Dog Show in June.
