Here in Virginia it's been in the upper 90s and even up to 100 on a few days. When it's that hot I don't like to go out and Chester seems to prefer the air conditioning too. The problem is that several times a week Gabriel likes to take brisk 30 minute walks after work (around 7pm) and he always asks if he can take Chester. I tell him no, that 30 minutes in 90+ degree weather is too much for the furbaby. He has argued with me a few times and said that I'm babying him too much and that dogs are fine in hot weather. I tell him that they can overheat quite easily and that when it's 90+ outside I only want him to be walked for short periods and preferably at dusk when it's cooler.
Gabriel is sooo good to Chester but he's being very stubborn about the hot weather issue and I'm getting very irritated with him. Any advice or suggestions? I keep telling him that dogs can overheat very easily but he just doesn't seem to get it.
