It's hard to tell if Wishbone likes the heat of summer or the cold of winter best.  He's the opposite of the United States Postal Service...neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stops...EVERYTHING stops Wishbone.  If there's a place he can lay his head and close his eyes that's where you'll find him.  If it's in the cold wet snow or the bright hot sun it really doesn't seem to matter to him.  

Other dogs, normal dogs, dogs who are awake more than fourteen seconds a day love to play outside.  (The only exception to Wishbone's sleeping habit is if he thinks he can be in charge...The Boss...then he's awake, alert and barking orders.)  Playing outside is healthy for your dog but sometimes it's difficult to tell if your dog is getting too hot.  A dog won't usually stop and rest or find a shady spot if he's having a ton of fun.  

Here are Wishbone's Tips relating to heat and dogs...other dogs...dogs that stay awake...dogs that neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stops them from playing.


1.  Dogs can get too hot even if the weather is as low as 80 degrees out.  A good rule of thumb is if it's too hot for you to sit out for a long period of time it's too hot for them too.

2.  Dogs need to be walked even if it's hot so schedule your outdoor exercise time for your dog early in the morning or late at night after the sun has gone down.

3.  Dogs don't necessarily need a trim just because it's hot out.  A dog's coat provides a buffer to help him regulate his body temperature.

4.  Dogs should not be cooled down with ice, it can cause blood vessels to constrict.  Instead use room temperature water to cool him off and if he'll lay in front of a fan (Wishbone will!) that's a good way to let him cool off too.

5.  Dogs show signs of fatigue when their core temperature is getting too high.  If you see your dog is slowing down let him rest and cool off.


It may seem early to discuss this but it's an important event and we all know how busy schedules get.

Summer usually means at least a few days of extreme heat.  Older adults, younger children and those with medical conditions are generally the most effected but anyone can succumb to heat-related illnesses. 

  • Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles.
  • Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun.
  • Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician.
  • Drink plenty of water. Avoid drinks with caffeine.
  • Limit intake of alcoholic beverages.
  • Avoid wearing dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.
  • Check on family, friends, and neighbors especially those who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone.
  • Check on your animals frequently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat.

Heat Cramps are the least severe of heat related illnesses but they are often the first signal that the body is having trouble with the heat.  Listen to your body and take heed!
