sobesmom Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Excellent reminder. Especially for those of us who's dogs are NOT in "racing shape" anymore, and get a bit too ambitious when the weather gets warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevermybabies Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Good warning. Many years ago, I took the dogs for a jog in the evening when it had cooled down...but I didn't realize that the street was still hot enough to burn their feet. Poor Angel had to wear little socks for a week because all four of her pads blistered off. So even when it SEEMS nice and cool, if it was hot in the day, be careful!

SAVED2 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) We always feel the pavement before getting out of the van and naturally its hotter on the sunny side.We also made cool coats out of auto shammys and carry cool water to keep them wet.

LadyGrey Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh thank you so so much for this. This post should be on all the threads for a reminder. You are so right. Even the hot sand on the beach is awful. Ground should be checked with bare feet. If I cant handle it, she cant handle it! Thank you.

Guest LindsaySF Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 This is also a good reminder for those attending GIG. Be careful about standing in the vendor area too long. In direct sun, on hot pavement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mountain4greys Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Excellent reminder!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MyCody Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thanks for the reminder, We will not be walking in the parade at GIG because of the hot pavement. We also carry a small spray bottle with plain water and we also have a mister that we use at ball games to cool them down. Doesn't help the tootsies though. I remember the one and only time Cody took off in our neighborhood when we first adotped him and came home with blistered pads, not a good thing.
