Guest Winnie2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 W and I just finished with our walkies/some running and she's currently laying on the cold, polished concrete floor. Most other dogs I wouldn't be concerned, but with her being a greyhound I would think it wouldn't be comfortable. She does this periodically when I'm home and even in the morning after I leave for work. Anything to be worried about or is she just cooling off? (80 freaking degrees outside...sheesh).

Neighsayer Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Probably just getting cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Cooling off. Rocket does this all the time - especially after an outing. Quote Camp Broodie.

Guest sireltonsmom Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ours don't mind the tile and even lie on the lanai coolcrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Winnie2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Glad to know that this is perfectly normal! The polished concrete is certainly cooler than the wood, carpet, or her bed. Even with the A/C on 75! And for funsies, here is my girl on one of our walks. "MOOOM can we keep going?

Feisty49 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pretty girl. I take the path that if my dog's doing it, it's what she wants and who am I to question. Obviously there are exceptions, such as if she's limping, in obvious pain, etc., but how she lays around is her choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGreyGirl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Both my girls love the tile floor for some odd reason. Some dogs on here use bricks for pillows.

Guest PiagetsMom Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Mirage has always chosen the floor periodically over his beds. Now that he's getting older I really hate to see him do that, but he's comfortable, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dancer Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My boys lay on our tile floor when it is warm...they have a particular spot that they prefer too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PipDG Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yep, totally normal. Our princess Emmie would never lie on a hard floor but Harvey is quite happy to lie on our wooden floor boards when he's hot, or when we're in the kitchen and he wants to hang out on the other side of the baby gate.
