| It’s her first summer in DC. She was huffing and puffing this morning when it was 75 out. She is an athletic dog but has a flatter face (not totally smushed. Hoping she just needs some time to adjust to the 70s. |

| Mine struggled this morning. We try to do long walks early and after the sun goes down and just keep him comfortable inside. It helps mine is a senior and doesn't need much exercise-- if yours does you might look into some indoor daycare? |

We have a golden retriever--so athletic with a heavy double coat. It takes him about a month to acclimate to the heat and humidity here in the DC area every year (we brought him from Michigan 7 years ago). We also try to go out early and then late for our two walks and also to limit time out during the middle of the day. He has a cool bed to sleep on as well (which helps).

| It's the air quality. The last few days have been Code Orange. Watch that, especially for brachyocephalic dogs like yours. |
