My dog, like my 911, is air-cooled

Yesterday was unseasonably hot (for Seattle) and when I took my office assistant, Lily, for a walk she was panting pretty hard. It occurred to me that unlike humans, who are liquid cooled, i.e., use sweat to cool off, dogs pant, breathing in air more quickly as they get hot. In effect, they are air-cooled.

Most cars, of course, are liquid cooled, like humans. Maybe that's why I like both dogs and air cooled 911's so much. They're cooler.

Gratuitous picture of Lily in the office, making it hard for me to get any work done.

Love your signature. One of my favs.

I borrowed it from xfinity. I don 't know why, but it makes me laugh every time.

Yes. Four years old, former show dog. We've had her 2 months. A real sweetie.

My sister has a couple of Corgi's, great little dogs.

She is a cutie and I got a date for her in case she gets lonely. He's also air cooled

Man, can you imagine what a mix of those two would look like?

She's spayed.

Good girl Lilly, good girl.

Is this a relaxed dog thread?

Seems to be.

Dogs are funny. Or rather, peoples' interactions with dogs are funny. I think lots of us find a single breed, and then that becomes our breed for life. I love most dogs (not too crazy about the toy poodle next door), but when our original mad corgis, Doc and Molly, passed, there was no question we'd get another corgi, or likely, two. I can't imagine having anything else.

I think a lot of folks are the same way: How many of you are single-breed for life types?

Lab guy for 25 years.
All 3 colors.
Click Click Boom summed up the breed succinctly, "Labradorks!"

I went through two labs, then at the suggestion of a buddy at work, got a Golden Retriever. We are now on our second, and I can't imagine switching to anything else in the future. I like my dogs water cooled...

Here's a water-cooled dog for ya, Jeff. Boneys is just starting to figure out that stuff called water.

Labs and goldens are among my favorites. I generally like larger dogs. Corgis are essentially normal sized dogs with no tails and short legs.

Beautiful pup Corgi

I have a pair of relaxed hounds, (Blue Healers)
