Do YOU have a fan that you can at least move air over yourself? I am worried about YOU too!!!

Thank you for your concern. Yes I have fans blowing every day and my air conditioner was set too high. He has his long hair and I think that was a lot of it. I wet him down and he didn't improve until around 3:30 this morning. When he woke up he came running up the bed and gave me kisses, tail wagging and just thoroughly glad to see me. I have set the air down to cooler today so hopefully that won't happen today.

The reason it was so hot was the air conditioner had blown the circuit and it got unbearable in the 2 minutes that I had to wait for it to restart. Most of the time it is only 82 or so in here. Pretty comfortable with the fans.
