<DIV>Here's my suggestion to make him more comfy in the hot summer. It's a
Canine Cooler bed. Blueberry adored it. It's basically a firm,
thick rubber padded outside that you fill with water, and it just
draws the heat out of the dog's body, while being comfortable. You
know how they like to lie on cool tiles -- but after a while the tiles will
heat up. But this bed stays cool. It comes with a good guarantee,
too.</DIV>

<DIV>You can also google it and find it at other stores to compare prices, but
this is the basic information.</DIV>

<DIV>I really think he'll love it. BB got so hot, with that tongue
unrolling like a window shade until it was practically on the ground, but once
she lay that big old extra-fluffy butt on this, you could almost see the steam
rising, and she was cool and snoozing in no time.</DIV>

<DIV>(Plus, I always put a fan on the floor blowing right on her.)</DIV>
