i just got thru shaving Oscars tummy just like i had Toby s..they both
like to lay their bellies on a cool service after playing..

from just reading about the effects of heat on dogs..i now carry a gallon carton of water in the car when were out at the dog park..when it s warmer than normal i ll even carry along one of those frozen blocks for coolers..ideally id probably soak them with water..but, i find a good alternative is to keep their bellies and paws cool..

rule of thumb is that if its too warm for me..it twice as bad for them..
