It has been a very late start to summer here in Chicago this year. Very cool and rainy. (Think Seattle.) But Summer arrived in earnest this past weekend. While I had been enjoying lower heating/cooling costs, I finally had to relent and turn the air conditioner on Sunday. Bella and Chief really appreciated it. Through out the heat of the day on Saturday, they stayed inside, under the ceiling fan on the cool hardwood floor. By Sunday evening though, they were back on the couch, laying in soft pillowed comfort.
Just goes to show that dogs like it cool in Summer too. So remember to keep in the cool areas, shade, and have plenty of water to drink during the hot summer months.
This is quite an interesting posting I must say. Indeed if it is too hot outside then no doubt dogs would also like to stay in an air conditioned room. Who says they cannot feel heat or chill?

Sometimes, we really have to give in to the heat. I remember one summer I had in Edmonton. We turned on the air conditioning. It's not just the kids who were enjoying it. I can tell that the dogs are happy, too. We have to make some sacrifices to get the satisfaction we want, right? For me, I'm just thinking about the welfare of the people (and the animals) inside the house. I don't want them to get dehydrated.

Most dogs are susceptible to heat. So, if you may notice, they like to drink plenty of water and stay in cool places every day. Some pet owners buy their pets an air conditioning unit to make them feel comfortable.

The summer heat can get unbearable sometimes, that's why you use the AC. It's the same with animals! They have to cool down too! You can easily get thirsty and feel tired with the intense heat.

My dog is the same way about our heating and cooling system. He is always hanging out around the vents whenever we turn it on. It is quite funny. Thanks for sharing!
