That is too funny because my two walk into the garage, feel the heat there (with a closed door), and go right back inside. They HATE the heat. In the winter, although we don't have much of one here, Zeusy will go right out and loves the cool/cold. It snowed (a dusting) here two years go when he was a puppy (which is an absolute rare occasion), and we couldn't get him inside. We had to drag him whining inside. I am the same way -- love the cold. They, like me, should have been born somewhere besides the south. We have been over 90 degrees with heat indices over 100 for about a month. Absolutely miserable! My teeth sweat!
