and my goofy Tink goes in the yard and lays down to bask in the sun...I had to run out there and get her.
We have a black dog - now, I always thought black conducted heat. Same weather here - and Bess loves to lay out in the back yard -- on her back -- looking up at the sun -- probably sunburning her tummy -- can't stand it!!!!!!! So I have been setting the stove timer for ten minutes and each time she wants to go out - set the timer - and then in ten minutes go out there and fight with her to come in, because you know darn well if it was you, you would be scorched. Then I finally get her in the house, sheet on the floor, because we feel guilty that she has to lay on carpeting, thinking this is cooler, fan on the floor, she flakes out there and sleeps - and then ten minutes later, same thing! And it seems like it is moreso when it is so darn hot out. They are sweet little critters though, aren't they? Edie
