| I live in south Alabama, and we've had the ac on here since late March or so. I'd say as long as its not blowing directly on your baby, it'd be fine. There is no way I could live without ac! |

| I live in the desert, and it's ungodly hot here. We have the a/c on just about ALL the time, along with ceiling fans going 24/7......At night though, Max sleeps in bed with us and I put him under the covers so that it's not blowing directly on him. He seems to be glad to get under there most of the time, and he stays there all night. I know these little guys can't take the heat like bigger dogs can. If Max is sleeping on the sofa with me, I'll sometimes put a little blankey on him (I have them all over the house, LOL for him) and if he wants it, he'll leave it, but if he's too warm, he'll squiggle out of it. I'd say just watch them and make sure that they don't feel too cold.

| Same here - i live on the gulf coast of louisiana. A/C runs 9 months out of the year. Just don't let the cold air blow directly on him & he will be OK

| We have the a/c on at night. I put a shirt on Conner and have his fleece blanket on the bed. He will start out sleeping on he blanket, then he will get under the covers where he sleeps the rest of the night. When he was a baby and sleeping in the playpen, I would put a few fleece blankets in the bed, and he would bury himself in them.

| I'm in NJ and today was a very hot day. I had to turn the central air on because my babies get really hot. All for them but not looking foward to the electric bill |
