When you combine 90 plus percent humidity during the rainy season it really is uncomfortable. Combine that with the fact that his little legs are half as long as Ty's making him take so many extra steps. As long as he is satisfied with a shorter walk on the hot mornings, and gets his exercise with play sessions during the day, I will be fine letting him come home earlier than his "big brother" on the hot, humid days. I want him to continue to be excited to go on his walks, and be ready to resume longer distances when the weather is cool, rather than pushing him. On nights when we have had a late afternoon storm which breaks the heat we will try a walk; however it is frequently mid seventies to eighties at midnight!

I totally get that. I'm in Maryland so our whether is less humid I think. I also get the short legs thing because I live with that daily lol. As long as everyone is happy
