Re: [pyrnet] Weather



Too bad you feel this way but maybe if you wish to be that sarcastic you could send your response privately. As it turns out, what Elaine says is true. Drastic temperature changes ie: going from cool to very hot or vice versa is not good for the animal.(or people)  Particularly double coated dogs, its just takes them a bit longer to regulate changes in body temp.
 
 I don't think the correlation between temps and feeding dogs is there, so the comment about the dogs getting used to bieng hungry was not warranted.
 
Just because someone "owns" dogs doesn't make them an expert either.
 
You probably have no reason not to share those things with your dogs, but not everyone lives like you- and respecting other peoples opinions and posts is just common courtesy.

The best way, that i've found with dealing with the heat with the pyrs is to not let them into air conditioning at all, I feel sorry for your dogs.    that way they get used to it and tolerate it    If you don't feed them do they get used to being hungry?    and don't think much about it.  how do you know what they're thinking?   I learned that from a friend of mine who shows Saint Bernards.   Just because someone shows dogs certainly doesn't make them an expert.  That   statement is proof.             As long as I have air conditioning...my dogs are welcome to enjoy it with me.  As long as I have a sofa they are welcome to enjoy that with me...as long as I have breath they will have every possible comfort.   What possible reason could I have for not sharing these things with them?
