Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Its so hot here I darent take the dogs out. Storm can barely move. People keep saying "take them out early morning or evening" but I cant. Alex goes to work at 5or6 in the morning and I cant leave the kids alone in the house. By the time I get back from the school run its too hot, in fact its too hot to take one with me. ANd this week especially im working 6 out of 7 evenings, so neither of us can walk them then either. We have a rather large back garden that they dont use very often, this morning they had a play in the long grass (alex hasnt mown it). Tonight alex is going to take them out in it. But i feel so guilty, it just seems theres not much I can do at the moment. I just have to judge things on a daily basis.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Don't feel guilty Louise - we do what we can. When it gets too hot here the only time they go out for long walks is over weekends - they sleep most of the day and then play in the pool or their splash pool in the late afternoon, or chase each other around the yard or wrestle in the house. They find ways to get rid of the extra energy quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kper Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hot and humid here, too. We finally dunked Ahna in our granddaughter's kiddi pool. At first she didn't like it but then kept going back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Jones Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Don't feel guilty you are being responsible and during this hot weather their energy levels are alot less ... I agree it is hard as my lot are flat to the floor in the hall the coolest place A play in the garden when cooler is just as good as a walk all they want is to spend time with you a d they can then pace themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly25 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I am exactly the same! I feel bad but they have been out in the garden eating ice lollies, being watered down and sticking to the shade! It's not always convenient to take them out early morning or late in an evening but as long as they are getting love and attention that is all that matters at the minute! At least you're not taking them out in the middle of the day for walks like I have seen sooo many people doing grrr, but thats for another thread! Don't feel guilty!

Hyshqa Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 How about one of you take the kids out with you on a morning or evening dog walk? Go to a field and have a bit of a family kick about or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
