Overheating dog
stretching out on the cool–floor’s
better than a swim.

It’s better because I have poodles, and drying after the swim is beyond onerous! Despite the breed being named for their task of bird-dogging into puddles, I prefer mine to stay dry, and they seem of the same mind!

Clever!
Something simple for a hot day…
cute – i almost thought it was about the eating kind of hot dog:) i must be hungry….
lol I’m sure they feel like they’re on a grill with this heat!
And the smell of wet dog isn’t always the most pleasant in the world. xx Hugs xx
Luckily wet poodles is nothing like wet labrador or the like, but still not exactly pleasant unless post-shampoo! lol
This haiku poem of yours is so true.
My own dog likes to lay flat on the floor because its cool and fresh. 🙂
