My hound would dig a three foot deep hole in about fifteen seconds to cool off. Other times he would lay on the asphalt driveway on a ninety degree day with about two foot of tongue sticking out.
I had a German Shepherd that always overheated and would try to find some water to lay down in. One day we couldn’t find him and he wouldn’t come when we called. We found him, like Kenny, laying in my father in law’s birdbath.
My three Siberian Huskies, two silver and one regular, deal wilt the summer heat in different ways – the two pure-bred silvers vacillate between “sun-bathing” on the outdoor carpet in their back yard and laying directly over a floor AC vent or on the kitchen ceramic tiles.
The third dog, a black & white regular huskie mix, simply refuses to leave the house except to do her “business” until after dark.
When I go out to “pick up” the back yard, she’ll stick her head out the dog door to verify that the world’s still there and then back in she goes – summer holds NO attraction for her (and I agree whole heartedly!)

Kenny needs a creek. My St Bernard would soak in the creek every morning, and the drying fur would cool him most of the day.

Some like it hot – and some like it not

Sheesh, looks like even hot dogs can’t escape from being hen-pecked all day long!

We have a koi pond. In the summer we keep finding random dogs lounging in the water. The fish hate it.
