When we were considering Sascha as an adoptee, the people at Free Spirit Husky Rescue explained a simple fact about Huskies. These dogs were bred for much cooler climates than where they tend to live. They can get very warm, very quickly. This can be an issue when scootering.
We learned the rules that temp plus humidity cannot be over 120. So 60 degree day with 60 percent humidity means you cannot take your dog running. This shouldn’t be a problem with the winters in northern Illionis though. Now it just has to get colder. That’s not something I look forward to!
So to combat the problem with heat, we were required to buy a kiddie pool. Everyone assured us that Sascha just needed a lillte water to stand in to cool off. But like any good child, Sascha can’t resist diving in and splashing around.
This makes for one very wet dog at the end. No matter how much she shakes off, she still has half the pool in that fur. The good part is that she does tend to dry quickly. And she just does not understand the concept of being dried off with a towel. I don’t think it helps much either.
I’m just waiting to see what happens when she rolls around in the snow. I’ve got a feeling she might prefer the cold and snowy weather to the warm indoors, except to sleep.
Oh well, here’s Sasca having fun in her pool.
