Glad to read that he's an indoor dog. I would just take him out for him to do his business and bring him right back in. Once he starts feeling better then maybe let him decide if he wants to stay a little longer.

Actually it is cooler at the beach, in the city it's about 42 degrees and really humid.

Hoping for many days of seaside fun with Howard....

We take ours boating. I "dunk" them in the water every so often to make sure that they stay cool. If we are out for a long period, I will put them below in the cabin with the air conditioning. You can have them out with you so long as you take the necessary precautions/steps to make sure they can cool off.

If you don't have AC then try a cooling mat for him to lay on and have a fan near by. I close windows and close curtains and shades early in the morning if it is going to hot during the day in order to keep the heat of the day out longer. I use the AC when it is uncomfortably hot. Many Yorkies don't like any extreme in temperatures. Gracie also prefers to be warm but cannot tolerate hot temperatures either. Many times when the AC is on she is cuddling up in a blanket or I put her pajamas on her to make her more comfortable.
If your not home during the day is there anyway you can have someone check on him to make sure he is OK? I'm sure if it is in the 100's this week then you are going to have a lot more of those kinds of temps this summer. I hope you can find some comfortable solution for your baby.

don't be sorry.. we were just worried. That is the one negative thing about posting is misunderstanding. But the MAIN thing is you got lots of good advice on how to keep him cool inside and we all hope he is feeling better fast!!
