This morning was so humid! I dragged myself out of bed after not sleeping very well last night, and Bella and I headed out only to be hit by a wall of humidity. Eek! Other than that, it was a great workout. I tried to pick up my pace a bit after seeing I only averaged 18:19 min/mile yesterday. You'll see in the link below that I was able to increase it a bit without getting too crazy.
Yesterday, when we got home, Bella just seemed really unenergetic, and I was worried she'd gotten too hot or thirsty or something. She was fine later in the day, but Rick and I talked about things I could do to keep her cooler.
Partly through the walk this morning, we passed some sprinklers that were on, so I put some water on her head to help her regulate her temperature better. Also, as you can see from the picture above, when we got home, I immediately let her jump in the pool. She stood there for a while and then jumped out--evidently, when she was through! I think I'll make a habit of letting her get in the pool to make sure she cools off enough-her super rough life gets even rougher! She HAS to swim in the morning. Poor puppy.
I dont think the dog should swim alone. It's just not safe. Please let me know in advance when she will be swimming and I will keep her company.
