.@cb is going out of town for a few days and is doing hero’s work getting all the screens in before he does.

Dog is panting like he just ran a few miles.

I’m trying to teach the dog that when it is this hot he should lie on the coolest—ie bathroom tile—floor and it is not going well.

Ok should I just put the dog in a cool shower. He’s a smooshy faced dog, they are less heat tolerant.

Wet dog now hates me but probably also won’t die of heat stroke

Reminds me of once living in a 5th-floor Brooklyn walk up with no AC. Cool shower in T-shirt and shorts made it possible to fall asleep.

It’s only 7:30. Not sure how to break it to dog that this will happen again before bedtime

Dog not at all happy about his second shower of the evening

Dog dries off too damn quickly. This is the problem with a “dry heat.”

Doused the dog for first time this evening, 7 pm. He hates me
