I can tell ya how the critters handle the heat in Texas, so maybe it will help you in New York. Texas animals of all kinds, are active in the morning, until about 10, then it's naptime the rest of the day until about 7. You won't hardly see any animals out during the day, when it's hot. Even going down the road, the cattle are all hugging the same mesquite tree. Dogs sweat through their bellies and pads on their feet. They cool themselves through their tongues. Our dogs like to sprawl belly down on the tile, or walk through their splash pool. I will even put a few ice cubes in their water to help with their built in air conditioner. If you can keep your activities with your babies to in the morning or late afternoon, you will see how much better they feel. Hope this hot, windy advice will help.
