August Running Challange

Replies
-
I took my dogs for a run this morning - was hoping to get 4.5 miles in; had to stop at 3 as our big black, flat-coated retriever (think golden, but just jet black) was getting overheated. In this Texas heat I have to take that seriously.
I usually just take Macy on my cool down walk because of the heat. You are so right to watch the doggies, they will just run themselves sick if we let them. Great job on the 3!0 -

A local family lost their dog a couple of weeks back because of heat stroke. They loved their dog, he went on all their runs with them; he was young and healthy. They posted to one of the local sites I belong to, and talked about it, and how quickly he succumbed. I had always been aware of it, but knowing it happened on the trails where I run my dogs, brought it home to me. Skater, our retriever is all heart, and he would just keep going and going. As it was, in the 80 degree, high humidity morning, he was panting heavily after the second mile. I put the air on in the van to full blast, and when he got home he lay on the cool tile, and then I let him in jump in the pool. He is fine now.0 -

How awful for them! I'm glad Skater had a good cool down swim :glasses:0 -
