For all walks they bring along a portable water dish and water bottle and stop to offer a drink every 5 or 10 minutes. We have long-hair cats and keeping the shades drawn and fans on during the heat of the afternoon keeps them comfortable. Animals adjust, but you do have to keep an eye on them. <br /><br />Be careful cutting her hair too short -- you don't want her to get a sunburn.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475477442377719233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549445053733095568.post-39681998496488966512010-05-23T23:54:33.666-04:002010-05-23T23:54:33.666-04:00We've been in MOH for our 3 overseas posts ......We've been in MOH for our 3 overseas posts ... and the dog (for the most part) has acclimated fairly well. Of course, when it hit 120 in Oman, she did complain fairly loudly about being taken for walks as the ground was far too hot for her paws. <br /><br />One thing I've loved since being here in the hot and humid heat is my Furminator. If we brush the dog with that every week or so, it removes so much of the extra hair and A) it saves us from vacuuming up as much of it as we could and B) it removes a great amount of hair, thus keeping her as groomed as can be.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493268452074516009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549445053733095568.post-9097142427991607602010-05-23T22:40:39.218-04:002010-05-23T22:40:39.218-04:00Poor Tiffy!

Also, I had her groomed short (but not shaved - worried about sunburn) during the hottest months. Hopefully the air conditioning and short walks will be OK for her.sclawgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744410057032211072noreply@blogger.com
