Oh, summer, are you good or bad for dog pawrents?

If you're a dog pawrent on a hot summer day, you know the trouble you have to deal with. When you go with your dog on your morning walkies, it might start with a hint of crisp air, but as soon as the sun is fully up - you have no chance. The mornings become a game of running from the sun, to try and experience as little of it as possible and go home, and hopefully to have your dog doing whatever they wanted to do before it's too late… or too hot. Especially if you need to hold your dog's deed in a nylon bag until you reach a trash can. It is not a delight, but it has to be done.

And then you have the afternoon dog park visit, and of course your dog chooses the least shaded spot to hang out with their doggo friends. And you, along with many other tired dog parents, wait in the heat until all dogs decide they've had enough and want to go back home. Which can take a while, obviously. The dogs seem to love to run around in the park, regardless of the weather conditions. Summer, winter, nothing matters.

But at least in the evening, after the sun is finally down, you get to have a nice stroll with your dog, forgetting all the summer heat behind. We know, it's not ideal, but at least you can enjoy some outside doggo time once per day, until the weather weans and gives way to autumn. But hey, we got you some pawdorable dog memes to get you through this heat wave - so you'll at least have some cute doggos to laugh at while you and your dog wait for better weather.

  • You're half way through, and we just want to make sure you take a break to pet your dog and tell them you love them. It doesn't matter that they love the sun, the heat, and literally everything we hate about summer - our dogs always deserve our love, and no season will ever change that. So take a minute and give your dog some love, even from us. Tell them we love them too, because we're 100% sure we love them, even if we've never met them.
