Oh I didn't get the impression that the dog is being kept outside. I just assumed she was taking the dog outside here and there for a little outdoor time, but I agree with everyone about yorkies not being outside dogs. They do get hot easily.
I took Geno on a walk the other night, only half the distance we usually go plus it was early evening and he was panting when we got home. Geno never pants when we go on long walks in 50-60 degree weather. He'll even run for a little bit and still be fine so the heat def takes a toll on them. If it's too hot, keep him inside with the AC running. If it's going to be 80ish and humid here, I prefer not to take Geno out. My AC runs all day in the living room for him and the AC is right next to the couch so Geno likes to jump on the arm of the couch and just stand there while the AC blows on him haha Then he goes back to cuddling next to his blankie in his bed. |
