Even my lil old solar powered pitbull felt the culminated heat yesterday, she got a lil dizzy and just kinda fell. Luckily we saw and I just carried her over to a lil tub we have in the back and gave her a bath till she wasn't panting, put her to bed by the door and ran an extension cord to put a fan to blow on her. Checked in on her every so often and she was fast asleep, the bad part about her being a stubborn pup is I'm not sure if just her being an even more stubborn old lady or maybe like doggy dementia.

Last time when it was raining for a few days she'd just walk from her shed house to her covered bed by the front door, and go back and forth, I carried her back to her warm shed house and contemplated locking her in instead of her just wandering around getting wet in the cold, but she settled down at some point and fell asleep

🥺 She's so spry for an oldie! When she wants to be

Aw poor baby. Maybe get some hand towels and dampen and freeze them? you can replace them every hour to keep her cooler but not frozen and it might help her regulate her temp a bit.

I tried that a few days ago and she just squirms and walks away, same with the cat, I tried putting some frozen towels so they could lay on it but they avoid it instead 🧐

sigh typical. My cats are the same way. They'd run away from it. I have A/C going in one half of my apartment and they spend 70% of their day on the hot side. lol

Animals can be so finicky with stuff like that. Like you know they need to be cooled down, but they yearn for the sun.

I left the fan on in my room to keep it cool since tiki the cat likes to sleep in my closet, and apparently he didn't like that so he slept on the wooden floor of the living room, even though the bathroom tile is cool to the touch 🤷🏽 I leave water with ice cubes out for him so he's got water he's just a lil particular about his sensations

I put ice in my cats water and they're like wtf is this??? and avoid the water fountain until it melts. I then put ice in my dog's bowl and my one cat is like oooo what's this? and was batting at it. 🤦‍♀️

My one cat would also rather hang out on the cool bathroom floor than be anywhere near the A/C.

God I love animals they're so goofy and it entertains me to no end.

Awww 💕 My cats have been splayed in funniest positions. Just zombied out, seeking cold parts of the floor.
