What Do You Do To Keep Your Pet Cool As Record Breaking Temperatures Sizzle Fort Collins, Colorado?

My husband Bob bought a kiddy pool over the weekend.  He set it in a shady spot

and filled it up for our 2 dogs.  Only Lucy has gotten in so far, but we felt better knowing

they have ‘cool’. Both Jazz and Lucy are getting their summer ‘crew cuts’ this week and seem to really enjoy lying on the tile in the AC. 

The horses are curious and drink out of the pool, but are really comfortable in the barn with box fans blowing on them, as they listen to the Boze radio.  I forgot the hose on in the water trough AGAIN so water spilled into the arena. They can now roll in the cool wet sand.

Napping in the shade is a favorite, too.

What do YOU do for your pets in this oppressive heat?
