Rory is weird he tried to eat a washing machine. He jaw is very powerful and he likes to eat all kinds of stuff. Strange stuff. I would never dare use lick mats either he wouldn't lick he would eat.
It's that time of year again

I thought about your post today @SwampDonkey as I was walking Carbon in the morning and it was already 32C. Lesson learned: never ever ever again find myself in Spain in June (or July, August or September either!). I'm bowing down to @snowbunny as the queen of the hot lands and decamping to Norway next year.
Id go with you if you go Id love to live there. My work friend comes from Finland she says I'd love it there too.

This was one of the reasons we didn’t take Red to the Vendée. When the sun was out, it was seriously hot
. Surfaces were scorching. I was amazed at how many dogs were around during the hot part of the day. I’d have been a neurotic mess about her. I walked Red very early this morning and it felt hot thenWe have two cooling mats in our carpeted bedroom. Snowie sleeps on them part of the night. On and off, moves all night, our bed, his bed, mats. They’re fantastic. We’ve had these ones about 8 years!! They do heat up after about 5-10 mins. But cool down as soon as he moves off them. It’s a chemical reaction—crystals draw heat as they melt from body heat, but once melted they get warm. Recrystallise when the heat source (dog’s body) is removed.

Oreo uses her coolmat at bedtime but is on and off it. Rarely uses the one downstairs. Lilly has never been on it. More likely to be found sunbathing.
But....Scotland....ahem.

Rory has eaten a few pools. I'm going to get a cattle tough next.We got out Neo’s paddling pool yesterday. He had a great time getting everyone wet but eventually settled on chewing it so I guess I have my answer about the cooling mat now!

It's not too bad here - but even yesterday at 15C I thought it a bit warm for Coco's 5 Chuck-it fetches. The sun was out and no wind. Today it was a similar temperature, perhaps a degree cooler but overcast and he did have his 5 Chucks after his walk. It's really rather pleasant.

We have high cloud today which is quite nice 
We went down to Looe very early this morning , only stayed for half an hour during which time we saw so many dogs being carted around town looking thoroughly miserable ., and still people leave their dogs in cars , I could weep

I just don't understand this in any weather, never mind on a hot day.
Here, his lordship is working on his nest building technique in our freezing house. He mounds up the duvets and pillows on our bed into the biggest pile he can and then flings himself down on top of it with a sigh. That and following the sun around the sunroom all morning, then into the backyard.

There is a very large sign in the harbour car park saying that the Harbour Commission reserves the right to break into any car where dogs have been left, regardless of windows being open for them , and I have witnessed them doing this along with local police , its just cruel to leave them x
Glad they do that.
Now 26c. Ivers bored

Years ago, some dogs were left in a hot car, at a large dog show, for at least an hour, parking wardens covering the car with their coats to keep the sun out. Police told and would do nothing apart from putting a message out for the owner to return. We found a hammer, police constable said not to use it, but a chap just grabbed it and did! Owner was angry when he got back and found broken glass everywhere. I wrote to RSPCA and the dog show organisers and offered to be a witness on the side of the chap who broke the window.

Currently 27 here - Red had a very early morning walk - that’s it - she’s been sleeping pretty much all day on the tiled floor
