[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM never, ever disappoints. Now taking aim at hikers as some kind of deranged obsessives. Pretty much the most innocuous activity that one can do. Never change DCUMers![/quote] Yes, 110 degree / 9 mile summer hikes on a mountain with a new born and a dog are totally innocuous activities. They all died. [/quote] Newborn? Who had a newborn? [/quote] NP, but are you purposely being dense? The baby was 9 months to a year old (have seen conflicting reports) but the point is that she was a baby. It is not a prudent or sensible idea to take a baby that age and a furry dog on a steep, challenging, 8-mile hike on a day where temperatures were supposed to go well above 100F. It’s just not, for a number of reasons. It’s certainly not an “innocuous activity.” You can say that without victim blaming or suggesting that they deserved to die for making a stupid decision.[/quote] Baby just turned 1 year old in August. Oski was 8-years-old (Aussie/Akita mix—both double-coated).[b] Double-coated dogs keep cool bc of their natural insulation. [/[/b]quote] Well, but having had 2 such dogs, they avoid strenuous activity when it's hot (like 90s hot) and prefer to lie in shade if outdoors. My current one, a highly energetic husky who is tennis ball obsessive, ignores the ball outside when it's hot. And both would head for water immediately if they saw it outside in warm weather (the current husky will roll in other people's sprinklers and stand with her face to the sprinkler to get watered on walks, and at a lake or river she plunges right in, drinking water at the same time).
