HeyRunDog Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Good idea but not sure Guinness wouldn't try and toss it around but as were expecting a two/three day heatwave with temperatures possibly exceeding 40C (105 F) it might be worth a try. I use a cheap plant sprayer filled with water and set to a fine mist to spray Grace and Guinness. They don't seem to mind and it cools them off quite quickly especially if there's a slight draught from a fan.

I know we’re going to get some hot weather, but at the minute, we’ve got patchy cloud and a cool breeze. We’re not getting anything like those predicted temperatures yet (and I live about 25 miles from Manchester). We’re all in the garden at 8am though, humans with coffee, Buddy sleeping soundly, and are planning for a scorcher. Just in case.

DocsDoctor Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Good idea about the plant sprayer and I may even try filling Tiger's shark toy with an icy as opposed to an empty bottle, as above! I must say I'm not looking forward to tomorrow/ Tuesday here in London, when the heat is set to reach its peak. I had planned to visit an art exhibition with friends on Tuesday, but the gallery (which is top-lit by skylights) has announced that it is going to stay closed and we've also been advised to avoid travelling on public transport unless it's essential. Yesterday *did* feel very hot, but it's been cooling down at nights so walks in the early morning are still pleasant. And Tiger is canny about finding himself cool spots and just resting when it gets hot later on. I suspect Monday night is going to be everybody's biggest challenge, with the temperature set not to drop below the mid-20s. Quote Clare with Tiger (Snapper Gar, b. 18/05/2015), and remembering Ken (Boomtown Ken, 01/05/2011-21/02/2020) and Doc (Barefoot Doctor, 20/08/2001-15/04/2015)."It is also to be noted of every species, that the handsomest of each move best ... and beasts of the most elegant form, always excel in speed; of this, the horse and greyhound are beautiful examples."----Wiliam Hogarth, The Analysis of Beauty, 1753.

BatterseaBrindl Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Well… that dog certainly seems to like that! A water-filled spray bottle has always worked well for us. Thankfully we’ve not experienced too much unbearable heat/humidity locally so far this year. This week may get hotter but there’s also rain coming.

MerseyGrey Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 It was hot here yesterday. We wet a towel and laid it over Buddy, and gave him occasional rub downs which I’m not sure he enjoyed much but it seemed to help keep him cool. Our second walk of the day was at 9.30 in the evening and it was still incredibly warm. It is predicted to be hotter here today but thankfully it is deliciously fresh and cool this morning, so Dan has taken The Budster out for a long morning sniffari Quote Buddy Molly 🌈 5/11/10-10/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
