| Re: How do you keep your Rottie cool for summer This will be GUnner's first BIG BOY summer. Last sumer he was inside the whole summer (mostly). I'll probably take him in for the hottest part of the day. And we are definately getting a kiddy pool. His kennel is also in the shadiest part of the yard. HE also has the shade of an old Caprice and an Izuzu Trooper of wich he has dug himself a little dirt burrow inbetween the two, and has a grassy laydown spot on the other side of the Trooper.
I also visit him with ICE and put it in his water too. I make sure his water is FRESH FRESH FRESH too. He also gets a daily shedding with the shed blade too- little FURKING.
My favorite thing to do -and cheapest trick in the book is to make GIANT Rottie ICE CUBES. They keep him entertained, its a treat, and they keep him hydrated and cool. Take anything and fill it up with water pop it in the freezer and make your special guy or gal A giant Rottie ice cube!!!!
I like to cut up those plastic apple containers from COSCO- They are perfect!!!
