    Bless her. I can only imagine how difficult it is to watch them getting older and more frail. Hopefully the cooler weather will help a bit xx

    Hope Moo is feeling better today. I just love the oldies - so much character in their faces and "I'm old so I can do what the heck I want" attitudes. :)

    She's been out for a short walk and was her vocal self while I locked the door she has more energy today. She trotted round the park like her normal self but I cut it short she was very tired when we got back. Glad it's cooler for her today. She just makes me laugh she's so silly with her little curly tail and snowy feet

    She's really suffering again she finding it hard to breath. She's hard to wake and slow a bit sleepy. I know its the heat but i find it so hard and scary. Twice now I've been concerned because she's not aware and not woken from sleep. She's happy and seems cheerful but very low on energy. Hopefully she'll feel a bit better when the heat breaks. Does anyone elses oldy get like this?

    I'm not sure I can offer any reassurance re this, but just so say you are always so helpful and kind to others problems so I really wish I could. I'm sure you know how to keep her happy :hug:.

    Even my youngster is struggling a bit today .

    Have you thought of buying a 'cool mat'? My Granddaughter has bought one for their Samoyed (a very hairy dog!) and it does help him plus a fan on him.

    She won't lie in them she doesn't like the feel and she hates the fan. Its Moo she makes no senseo_Othe winds picked up a bit and it's helping. Its such a worry you know what I mean.

    We put a wet towel near Pongos head. He won't lie on it but he likes to put his nose near it, I think it cools the air somehow. ...

    Poor Moo , its horrible when we know they are unhappy, Sams condition makes him less tolerant of the heat too . Hope Moo feels a little better soon and that the wind keeps blowing xx

    I'm sure she will it's just such worry. I used to being able to do something you feel so powerless watching them suffer
