Re: Dogs in this heat
No tarmac here for my motel crew. That said, it astounds me that in 34C they will go out the dog door to lie in the direct sun on the hot stone patio.Just this month, some subhuman here left her dog in a sealed, hot car for hours. Someone finally saw it and called the police. The dog died.
Many states are now passing laws in which it is legal to break the window of a car if a dog is inside without air conditioning.

Re: Dogs in this heat
Holly goes in to the groomer in a couple of weeks and I bet she will feel better. I keep finding tiny burrs deep inside and use the brush and nit comb to clean her fur. I washed her on Saturday but as she lies on the pebbly dirt out here, gets grubby. I’m on the lookout for some artificial grass to put down and stay down.That reminds me, off to FB to do a request.

Yes, I have to do that Muddy. You imagine what it would cost for a groomer to do my five every 6-8 weeks.
It would be around £150.
I bought some decent clippers and got my money back on them on the very first clipping session.
Also, there are a lot of groomers I would never trust my dogs with either.
If I do them myself, I know how they are treated.
I sometimes just send the oldest one (Mups) to my grooming friend of over 40 years, because her coat is extremely dense and not so easy to get the clippers through.
Mups also has a problem with hairs growing right down inside the ear canal which have to be plucked out, and I hate doing that to her as it upsets her.
I pluck the others ears easy enough, but the oldest one's are like a birds nest down there.

Ah but that's probably because you didn't get him used to it from tiny.
With my Beddies, many people start giving them their first very light trim from 7 or 8 weeks old, so by the time they are 12 months, they don't bat an eyelid and just accept it as normal grooming.
