Posted on by

Glory is 39 day’s into her pregnancy. She is starting to show as you could see from yesterday’s photos. Glory doesn’t like the heat even when she isn’t pregnant so now that she is pregnant and summer is coming on us she really doesn’t like the heat.

Who you saying is pregnant?

5 Tips For Exercising Your Pregnant Dog In Warm Weather.

1. Exercise early in the morning or later in the evening when the temperature is cooler.

2. Keep exercise sessions short.

3. Incorporate water exercise into your routine to keep them cool on hot days.

4. Always have cold water available for drinking and shade when done exercising.

5. When your dog is further along in her pregnancy and it’s hot out keep the exercise to indoors like playing mind games to keep their mind sharp during this time.

We or should I say Gambler is joining Luke from Wag ‘N Woof Pets along with Peaches and Paprika from Calico Cats of Distinction for International Box Day.

Gambler of course has no interest in sitting in a box he much rather chew it open and eat the contents. At least this time it was his own food. Happy International Box Day from my dog who loves to open and rip up boxes and can do it in record time.

    that are great tips…. and I’m sure the little brown dogs enjoy a cool bath as much as Glory :o)
    Gambler, I did the same with that box… mine was anyway to small for a sit-in :o)

    Those are great tips for anyone trying to survive this summer heat. I had my son in August and I don’t think I spent too much time outside that year! LOL!

    Hi new woofie pal. Nice to meet you on this blog hop. Hmmmm, I hope you don’t decide to chase me, although I don’t mind a little game of chase. I’m pretty fast. But you are much larger than I am and might step on me. Enjoyed your pictures.

    Great job on the box, Gambler! Luke would prefer to chew his over sitting in it too, but I didn’t give him the choice this time! 🙂
    Glory is looking big and healthy…we say there’s more than 5 pups in there!

    Hi Y’all!

    The only thing I like to do with boxes is carry them.

    When I was a youngster I tried chewing up paper and cardboard and a black rubber Kong. None of them rocked my boat. I like the treats the Humans give me much better.

    Y’all hurry on by now!
