The 'dog days' of summer are the hottest time of the year, and boy weve been dealing with that crap for the past couple of weeks. Its been miserable out-- getting so hot, it doesnt cool off outside until 6 am the next friggin morning.

Get a spray bottle, fill with tap water, and spray the poor guy. Evaporative cooling will keep him from overheating, and as he gets used to it the spraying can become a fun game.
Indoors, add a fan to speed the evaporation.
Dog slobber. Lots and lots of dog slobber.
But we love them anyway.
