Leo’s Doggy Days of summer

Leo loves the outside. each time we say “wanna go outside?”
his ears perk up. Then, practically immediately, he’ll get up with his tail-wagging,
letting us know he’s all ready to go on whatever adventure that lies beyond the
closed door. Whether we’re going for a walk around the neighborhood or taking a
trip to the beach or canine park, Leo is always stoked.
Since it’s summer (and it gets hot here in sunny Florida),
our outdoor adventures are a little limited. Leo gets hot incredibly fast so we
always have to make sure to bring water along with us or make sure we’re going
somewhere that has offers water. Walks are pretty limited to the mornings and
evenings because the pavement can get too hot for his paws to walk him during
the day. I do take him for a walk daily at lunch, but make sure to stick to the
grass so he doesn’t burn his paws.
Nowadays, Leo can’t wait to get back into air conditioning.
As soon as we open the door, Leo messily gulps down what seems like a gallon of
water and then lies down sploot style on the cold floor to amazing down. He’ll
continue to pant for a little while longer, and in some cases he’ll close his mouth
while panting which causes his lips to flap in and out. It’s the cutest thing
to see.
