When the sun goes in the clouds , that little bit of relief u feel , but then u look up and see a vast blue patch of sky that clouds are drifting along to reveal 🥵
That sun is hot hot hot today , all our doggies guests have been out this morning as much as possible before this heat kicked in , that's it now til later , if anyone needs loo then we literally nip out , do the business and straight back in
Currently at 12:52pm our thermometer on outside of our little reception lodge is 30c in the shade ! 🔥
But glad to say that within our kennels it's a nice and cool 20.5c , but if inside temp of kennels rise above 24c then our cool air system is on and ready and will cut in and knock the temp down to around 18c-20c , in 15 years I've only ever known it to cut in twice !
Our kennel building is so well insulated that it reflects a good amount of the outside heat , it's nice to walk in and out of it to cool down ourselves lol
Water bowls both inside and outside are refreshed regularly to keep it nice and cool to drink , nothing worse than drinking tepid water , never quenches thirst
So again in this spell of returning heat all doggies staying or due to come in will be comfortable and kept safe during this heat , we monitor each and every single dog several times a day , just because we are not out walking and playing doesn't mean they are just left in kennels , we do odd jobs in and around kennels with this time , if any dogs even show a hint of feeling a bit too hot we are on them like a seagull on a bag of chips ! But as of yet thankfully, no doggies has shown any signs of being uncomfortable etc
And once again , please remind the little people who love playing hosepipes games leave hose running on ground before they touch the water or spray dog or sibling , sadly I've been reading countless stories of dogs getting blinded and scalded by innocent games with hosepipes , and same goes for water bowls left in direct sunlight , that can heat so much it could scald dogs mouth / tongue , accidents like these can be avoided
Have a wonderful weekend and stay hydrated ❤️
