As I have always seen bigger dogs out walking on hot summer days I never realized it may be too hot on her little sensitive paws. I am so glad I asked this question! (Sophie really thanks you all too). Now that I know better I will do better.  |
In addition to my previous reply.....
The way
I realised it was with one of our 'previous' dogs, on the beach (and that's in England!...
). I could barely walk, it was oooh-oooh-oooh, me trying to jump along....hot, burning underfoot
Sam the Schnauzer RAN, laid down, and then
dug - got to the cold bit about 18" down, and then laid down in it with a huge sigh, paws against the edges, looking everso happy at last
You're not a bad mummy - at least you realised it, and asked the question! A big hug to Sophie, too!
