Extreme heat tips

Does your tongue hang low?


Does it wobble to and froe?


Have temperatures reached unbelievable highs?

Then let the garden hounds suggest a few cool tips.


Roxy highly recommends the soak and


shake method. An all over body dip is sure to cool even the hottest hound.


For those with a little more decorum, Buddy recommends the suck and


shower. The tickley water droplets are not quite as refreshing as the soak, but they do cool things down a bit.


And if you are really adventurous, Buddy would like to recommend a speedy trip out to the coast.

On Saturday, June 25, we made a mad dash out to the coast to catch the sunset. At 6 p.m. when we left Salem it was 93°. Two hours later at Yaquina Head in Newport, it was 57°, very foggy, 13 mph winds and 94% humidity.

Buddy thought for sure his nuggets were going to freeze off.

What a difference 50 miles can make.
