On more than one occassion, Lizzy has gone out, plopped down on the patio and started frying herself. I mean, she does this in the middle of the afternoon, on HOT concrete. Dogs don't commit suicide do they? She seems like a happy dog, no serious psycological problems that I am aware of.
The IGs will plop down in the hot sun too, but they wouldn't dream of laying down on concrete, I mean, on rough ground, no way. They lay in the grass which isn't nearly as hot as the concrete.
