Fun Topic!
Ours are now in furbaby heaven, but its really nice to remember them.

PJ was a maltese (mix) 2lb ball of cotton when I got him in 1982. That was his first experience on a boat and he loved it. Hard to tell perhaps (because you dont 'know' him) but he loved the air blowing gently on his head, moving the hair on his ears LOL.

Roxy was a Chow/Lab mix when we got her - she was born the day PJ left us.... She loved swimming and drinking beer with Tommy - she (purposely) knocked over his bottle of Pacifico once and lapped it up --- from then on she would look at him as if to say "Wheres mine?" every time ;D

Anyway back to work, thanks for the pleasant break. Lori

Smiley the Keeshond. He's gone and buried at Dead Dog Beach (where there is a pet cemetery) on Coyote Island in Bahia Concepcion.

But there's still Augie the Doggie. A flea-bitten varmint I found wandering around the neighborhood, hungry and dirty, 12 years ago.

I asked a vet about that and he explained dogs don't cool themselves through their skin and that he's carrying his own shade around with him. I was still careful about the heat tho.

Also folks, July 4th, the worst weekend of the year if you're a dog is coming up. Be careful with your dogs, many (most) get spooked by bombs bursting in the air.

And then there is Rocky Balboa. One very bullheaded schnauzer.

I can't find any photos of Blackjack or Nacho.

That was true of my old dog Cleo. If I knew there were going to be fireworks or gunfire going on, I would make sure that she had a spot to hide near me, and that she would not run away.

The one I have now seems to be amused by thunder and lightning, fireworks and gunfire. We have to keep her from running after the targets we shoot!

The same dog is afraid of vacuum cleaners though, while her predecessor (Cleo) would attack them, and snowblowers as well.

My oldest dog grew up watching us shoot off big bottle rockets. He's fine with them.

Our house overlooks where they shoot them off here at the high school. Last year was the 1st year he got to see them. He watched a few go up and explode. Didn't get freaked out, but did go inside.

The younger one went to the front door and laid down. She wasn't moving.

Good point; come to think of it, the evaporative cooling surface in their respiratory tract is probably a lot bigger then their skin!

As long as they have enough water...


Mostly their tongue. If it's hanging out find some shade and water.

When I stop for doggie breaks, I let my dog drink as much as she wants, then wet her down before we get back in the car. Dogs don't sweat, but the breeze on her wet hair has a cooling effect. My girl has short hair, I don't know how that would work with JZ"s Akitas.

If we stop by water, she usually wets herself down.

Dogs also sweat through their paw pads.

You also have be careful about shaving down dogs wirh pink skin, as they can get sunburned just like people. And there is really no reason to cut their fur, since they don't sweat through their skin. It may make us feel hot just to see a dog with long or thick fur in hot weather, but it apparently doesn't feel like that to the dog.

Let's see if this works....


This is a picture of my girl Bailey with her German boyfriend Hans. She was about eleven months old at the time.

Crap! I am so tired of trying to figure out PostFingimage! David, your instructions do not jive with what comes up on my screen when trying to post with this tool.
