<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Beverly is 100% correct on the overheating of
animals. This is a true emergency situation, the same as it is for
humans. Over heating can lead to heat stress, to heat stroke to death! The
vital organs will start to shut down...There is no reason for a dog with a
responsible owner to go like this. Please, Please keep an eye on your
dogs and be very careful. Overheating will happen even quicker in an
over weight hound. You can also tie a wet bandana around the neck of the
dog or <FONT size=3><FONT size=2>cooling bandanas or fabric neckbands
filled with water-absorbing crystals</FONT> </FONT> help
in keeping a hound cool...but you must keep a close eye on
them. Keeping your dog brushed also helps by getting rid of all the dead
fur and therefur thinning out the fur coat. I hear it every year of
someone going out and walking or running with their dogs an the dog goes to the
bridge due to overheating. This will happen faster in a dog then it will a
human. I know you all know this but it is something that is worth repeating and
stressing! One hound saved is worth it. For me if I can go outside
and walk around the yard for 5 minutes and I start sweating then it is to hot to
walk the hounds. I also give the boys ice cubes after a short summer walk
or when they come in from yard patrol to cool them down.</FONT></DIV>
