are you doing something in particular to keep Albert cool these days? |
||||||||
|

Yeah it’s an issue. I try to avoid going out with him when the sun is at its peak, and will make sure we go at his pace. Problem is he’s really keen still and will head the way, but after a while he stops and asks for a break or for me to carry him. At home when it’s stupidely hot I’ll put the shutters down and put the fan on. Obviously always fresh water, but you know that. I don’t feel there’s a trick per say that I can give you. Just walk in the shade with her when you can, and be alert to her demeanour. They naturally look for the shade when walking I find. When Albert is really hot after being out in the sun he enjoys a little cold water on his fur. Basically during the summer I cut down on physical exercise, and will go outside and around my building with him more often for a quick walk and sniff around. |

Instead of the usual longer walks. |

yes pretty clear, exactly the same for me once i saw her staggering |
||||||||
|

Thing is, at least with Al, is that he’s obviously not aware that he has to take it easy because of his heart. If I let him go too fast in the sun he always ends up staggering like you say. Had to go to the emergency vet not long ago. Luckily he was ok. |

yeah heat is terrible for animals, little birds were pecking at the window to turn the small water fountain on in the front garden the other day |

im fucked if that happens to her, id have to go take the bus and then to the vet, with the chance we dont even make it in time. guess ill have to be very careful, luckily it was a quick realization of the points you stated in your post, but the staggering episode was my own negligence (it was early afternoon, walking under the sun) and it could have costed her life! wouldnt know what to do if that happends at night. maybe call a taxi. maybe i should just let her die, like it seems to show through some stories of people that lost their dogs. |

i just gave her some refresh on the head and under the arms, i think she enjoyed it. she dont like to be manipulated at the belly level. |
||||||||

Who does? |

Lol! This thread is about mo’s dog and my dog, and hyperflake’s invisible dog, keep up! |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

Great that she enjoys the water! How come she doesn’t like her belly being touched? Has she always been like that? Usually dogs like being touched there. Is she in pain there or is it just her personality? |
||||||||

oooh he likes you! |

shes drinking like there is no tomorrow today (which means average drinking for a normal dog, she rarely drinks in normal weather conditions). ive been home from work for some pimplosis that appeared on my left underarm during the night, the kind of stuff it normally attacks my arsehole, quite annoying, ive had to shave my armpits for the first time in my life to be able to see it. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It feels like every time I chat with mo about our dogs you turn up and sort of take over! I promise I won’t steal your friend! XD Joke aside, have you ever thought of getting a dog? Would your girlfriend be up for that? |

i wanted a male and a puppy. she was in the corner of a cage of three puppies, her bothers, one of them the same color of her, the other completely black. the two were playing. so i go to the vet and ask for the male of them, and she said to me the two males have found a home already, only the female remains. it was maya, lying on a corner and watching me. so i thought ok, and took her. |

seems like you made a great choice, I grew up with a pet dog called billy, he was a abnormally intelligent dog |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
she seems to be so content with water under her armpits. im militarizing this already. oh as for the pimples im home from work for the whole week, and under antibiotics for a week. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
no exercise and no sun, i will lose some sexy points for this |
||||||||
|
|

yes when ive been in for a while, i look like a drug addict, fortunately i tan quite quickly but you can see people cross over the road sooner |
||||||||
|

the doctor said i shouldnt have shaved my armpits. that could have caused an abscess, which could only be cut the doctor said. |
