Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
Swimming is good. Need to check out the blue-green algae situation, though.
Can road them in the wee hours before daylight, if you have a place to do it.

My 3 just want to lie in front of the fan so that's fine with me. Here in Ontario dogs can't be off the leash during breeding season( until August) so little can be done.

It's nasty stuff. Learn to identify it and when you see it, "don't go in the water".

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
It's been in the high 90's here in Pennsylvania with awful humidity. So we take our GSP to different ponds, she gets homemade frosty paws, we set up a doggie pool for her and she goes nuts to get squirted with the hose.
Here's some of her beat the heat summer fun:

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
Move faster earlier. Lots of free run time at daybreak and dusk. Put the sawhorse table up for whoa work.

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
I was thinking the same thing! Right now it is right around 100 degrees here in Texas, I would kill for a HOT Canadian summer day. I guess its the same thing when we start crying about it being cold here in the winter, the Canadians must just laugh.proudag08 wrote:Somehow I think the "hot" in Canada is a little different than they "HOT" in the South.GUNDOGS wrote:Its been real hot here in canada as well, ................ looks like tomorrow here its suppose to stay in the 70's for a bit .....ruth

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
There is a big lake where I run. I do mainly yard work, and let them free run. They do fine as long as there is water they can cool off in when needed.

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
I'm in northern IL which isn't too far south of the southern Ontario line and it was 98 on Monday, 101 Tuesday, 95 Wednesday. Believe it or not we do get hot once in a while and there is a lot more humidity with it.quanah labs wrote:I was thinking the same thing!

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
Come on down Ruth I hunt woodcock in that swamp I am one of those swamp people! If you ever hear of Lake Verret that's my peeps. Ruth with all due respect its nasty hot down here. We have a saying "nother 90 90 day" over 90 degrees with over 90 humidity which makes it oppressive!! For example I was up in Wisconsin this past weekend doing dog stuff and I had to look at my phone twice it said 89 but feels like 84, I was like that never happens in the south :roll:

At the start of a break in the weather here, gonna take full advantage and get a lot of work in this weekend. Over the last couple days when it was hot, did some bumper work in the living room. Started working with multiple bumpers along with hold and heel.

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
We had a good laugh when our EP was chasing trout in the stream across from the house!!! It was hilarious... She'd caulk her head to the side with the big elephant ears sticking out and pounce! Gonna try to take her in the canoe tonight... should be a scream... anyone ever had an English Pointer in a boat?!! could be a trip to remember!..

Re: Things to do with your dog in this heat
Took my 18 month old EP for a ride in the canoe tonight & lived to tell about it! She was great except when she kept trying to get a drink! My son took some pictures on his phone... I'll try to post them later... He couldn't believe how well she did, cuz she's usually actin' like she smokes crack! She wasn't sure at first, but then she relaxed & was great... nice way to beat the evening heat!
