[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and DD begged for years to get a dog. I had zero desire to get one until we had a decent fenced-in yard. No way was I walking a dog first thing in the morning or late at night, or in the extreme humidity, or in the snow. Sounds miserable to me, but if it works for people, good for them.

We finally moved, got a big yard, and a big dog. He’s supposed to be a high energy mix who needs a ton of exercise. Turns out he’s lazy as hell and hates the humidity as much as I do! He goes to pee and comes right back in, at least in the summer. In the winter, he’ll go out to lay in the snow. Dogs have their own personalities and breeding can only predict so much.[/quote]

Ha! I have a double-coated northern breed that is in danger of overheating every summer. Does he realize it? No! He wants to go jogging in all weather. In the snow, he doesn't want to come home. I feel so bad curtailing his walks in the heat, but really, it's for his own survival. I wish we could move to a cooler place! Maybe my son can take him when he goes off to college up north :-)
