Summer is here

How does your corgi feel about the heat?

Ever since Oscar was a puppy he was not a fan he would lay across our air conditioning vents and keep cool! I was wondering if this was just him or if all corgi's were really more winter lovers.

The only time I have to wait for the dogs on hikes is in hot sun above timberline with limited shade.
And SOMEBODY ordered an air conditioner online with our VISA card. It wasn't me or my wife.
To wet a corgi, sit down, legs flat, dog upside-down in lap. Soak the belly, else it's like trying to wet a duck. Presupposes plenty of water.

Do you think it might have been the dogs? Hahaha. Yes! Oscar loves a nice cool rinse with the hose after a long walk.

Dusty lays across the a/c vents. too. But doesn't mind a walk. She is always ready for that.

Merlin doesn't seem to care. He doesn't like it when it snows so deep it's over his head, though. :)

One of my other dogs is really heat intolerant (and cold intolerant, LOL, he's really a baby) and I have to constantly hose him down while we do stuff in the yard, like agility, or he refuses to do anything. Merlin is a little solder and just keeps trooping along. Such a good boy. :)

So we only have a window unit (and thankfully a newer model than before) which keeps the house comfortable enough with the few random 100 plus days we got in Georgia. The real test will be in August/September. Freya isn't terribly fazed by the heat--or at least it doesn't stop her. But when she does come back inside, she will spend her time on the bed. She's spread out on her back right in front of the fan/air conditioner that's blowing right there. If she isn't in the mood for that then she's lying on her belly in superman pose/frog pose on the linoleum.

well we're in San Antonio, Texas for the majority of the year it's pretty damn hot! i'm talking 100+ temps! so with ein's beautiful thick coat, he's not really a fan. he'll go out to do his business but as soon as he's done he'll be scratching at the door to let him back in. if it's below 90 then he'll hang out for a while, especially if there's june bugs out. mostly he enjoys being an indoor pup and taking long naps on the cold, tile floor :) what a life!

Luckly for us it has just started to get up in the mid 90's here in New Mexico. We have a swamp cooler not refrigorated air and Sami will lay where it blows down on her from time to time. We did get her a kiddie pool to wade and play in cools her off in a hurry. Being only 5 months old she has not experienced winter yet we get some snow but it is normaly gone by noon when it snows here. Can't wait to see how she reacts to snow though.

Riley does not like the heat to well- unless we are outside playing the hose game..If we are in the house and the fan is on he will lay in front of it to cool off-- but he prefers the a/c on --if it is really hot and humid-- he goes out and does his thing and comes right back..
