When we were considering Sascha as an adoptee, the people at Free Spirit Husky Rescue explained a simple fact about Huskies.\u00a0 These dogs were bred for much cooler climates than where they tend to\u00a0live.\u00a0 They can get very warm, very quickly.\u00a0 This can be an issue when scootering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We learned the rules that temp plus humidity cannot be over 120.\u00a0 So\u00a0 60 degree day with 60 percent humidity means you cannot take your dog running.\u00a0 This shouldn’t be a problem with the winters in northern\u00a0Illionis though.\u00a0 Now it just has to get colder.\u00a0 That’s not something I look forward to!<\/p>\n
So to combat the problem with heat, we were required to buy a kiddie pool.\u00a0 Everyone assured us that Sascha just needed a lillte water to stand in to cool off.\u00a0 But like any good child, Sascha can’t resist diving in and splashing around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This makes for one very wet dog at the end.\u00a0 No matter how much she shakes off, she still has half the pool in that fur.\u00a0 The good part is that she does tend to dry quickly.\u00a0 And she just does not understand the concept of being dried off with a towel.\u00a0 I don’t think it helps much either.<\/p>\n
I’m just waiting to see what happens when she rolls around in the snow.\u00a0 I’ve got a feeling she might prefer the cold and snowy weather\u00a0to the warm indoors, except to sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh well, here’s Sasca having fun in her pool.<\/p>\n
