In the summer, I only walk Katie in the morning or evenings. They are really low to the ground, and the heat reflects back onto their bellies. Plus, the pavement is way too hot for their feet. We play outside in the middle of the day, but that's only because Katie jumps into a baby pool to cool off. If she didn't have the pool, I'd restrict that play, too. With all this said, I can walk Katie for miles in the spring, summer, and winter (when it's not freezing out), and we play outside all year round. They are hearty little babies once you condition them, but always exercise caution and watch for the signs of heat or exhaustion. I always carry water with me, too. |
