Fried Yorkie?

[Rhetts_mama]

I'm amazed you can get Lizzie outside. I have to drag Rhett out to even go potty right now.

BTW - it's 96 degrees today

That's so cute! We need another thread on how to get your yorkie to enjoy the pool. How did you get him to use it?

Actually, I got a pool last year for myself and Cooper. It's a pretty small pool for me, but thought we could enjoy it together. So, I put the whole thing together and all of a sudden Cooper jumped in. I had no idea he would be able to. I had to put that ugly black fence up. (pool = $49.95 at Walmart)

For the little pool I throw toys in it (or even treats) and he jumps in.

Cute pool! I'd like one of those for Tink and me if we had a place to put it.

Tink also loves to lay in the sun. She pushes her blanket and rug away from the concrete patio and lays on the hot concrete. I dunno! I've had a nice little discussion with her about tan lines and wrinkles but she just doesn't listen. Kids these days!

Bri does this every time we are at the Beach. She loves to lay on our porch and lay out!! I think its hilarious!

Yeah, kids Cooper has actually gone into the bedroom & dragged his blanket outside on the grass to lay on it.

Jasmine loves to sunbath, however she likes her favorite toys with her. Since DH put in the doggie door, she now drags her fav. stuffed animals through the door and they sunbath with her now. A few weeks ago a couple of our grandchildren were over and she decided to adopt one of their rather large stuffed animals. So, here she goes dragging it across the floor to the doggie door...........she gets the poor things head out the door and begins to pull and do her 'ewok' noises at the same time. She worked for a very long time, but as we all know yorkies DON"T give up. She finally got that stuffed animal out the door too and away they went to lay in the sun. I loved the little satisfied smile she had on her face!

The IGs will plop down in the hot sun too, but they wouldn't dream of laying down on concrete, I mean, on rough ground, no way. They lay in the grass which isn't nearly as hot as the concrete.

Lizzy is not alone. Sometimes I let Brandi out in the backyard to go potty and she just plops right down in the grass in the sun. I mean it could be 100 degrees outside. I am thinking she is just trying to warm up because i have the air on in the house. But it is so cute.....I have to go pick her up to bring her in because she will not budge. If you notice she is not budging at all
Here's a video of her sunbathing.

Too cute!

Kasha will sunbathe outside on the grass.. she avoids the cement.( I don't blame her it was 97 w/o humidity yesterday) but 2 of my Scotties growing up would always go outside and lay on the cement. One would just hang on the driveway in front of the house and snooze. The other would lay back by the pool and tan. Maybe Lizzie is extra terrier like!
