Two words for you:
garden hose.
I started to take Pickles and Ty for a walk, but when I got outside and was hit with what felt like a wall of unbelievable heat, we decided to hang out in the shady yard instead. I didn’t want to miss out on their daily workout, so I channeled my grade-school self and whipped up some cool fun by playing water games with the garden hose.
Ty’s favorite game was chasing and biting the stream of water in zig-zag patterns across the yard, while Pickles liked to run through the arc of spray and try to get him to chase her. After about 30 minutes, they were drenched and incredibly happy — and they got their exercise in without getting overheated or dehydrated.
