First, stop beating yourself up.
2nd, I am glad your baby is okay-thanks that your dad kept his senses about him.
Now, we go out on the boat alot also. It gets very hot and humid here in MD, granted not like Florida. We we get out to where we are, we dip Hot Rod in the water to cool him down. We do this through the day. As soon as I see that he is panting I will either put him in the cabin for a little while with the ac or "water" him down. I also give him ice to lick on alot. I have cooling pads for him to lie down on too. I had 2 human pads that I know work so they have been turned over to him. If you don't want to put Nature in the water, then wet her down with wet towels but the key is to keep her "wet". Good luck...we enjoy having Hot Rod boating with us too, |
