I'm all for keeping Jaeger indoors most of the day in this Georgia heat. We play a zillion games of fetch and chase to get him exercise in the summer, but we still go for early morning walks when we can.
If its really hot, I'll soak him with the hose (or in the sink) and then walk him-it really helps keep him cool and comfortable during the walk. We stay on the grass so his paws don't burn up.
He really misses being outside, even when it's super hot, so sometimes I'll take a small tupperware container, fill it with safe fruit and veggie chunks and water, freeze it, and let him melt it with his paws on the patio or in the grass. He loves scooting it around and digging at it to get the treats out. |
