Dogsrawesome Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My dog does that too even if the air con is off :\ just think its weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartok Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Why? because they spend so much time in aircon ...and kinda lose their ability to judge what the actual temperature is .... our workers who are outside all the time almost never lie in the Sun...I figure they know it's hot..so don't bother ! Our poor pampered city dwelling pooches lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubitty Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Silly Bitty tries to do this! I let her lay for about 5 min and then call her back in! Bubby is a clever one though! Been inside all his life! Would NEVER set foot outside voluntarily, let alone sun himself!!!! Edited February 4, 2011 by Bub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casster17 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 mine are outsde dogs but even on the 40 degree days they will cycle between sun baking and lying in the shade. My female will dig the ground to make her sun baking spot cooler too on hot days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_Louise Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I actually have my Mum or Dad come over every afternoon that it is too hot, and 'babysit' Sasha inside in the air con. And what does the ungrateful bugger do? Gets up and wants to go outside and lie in the sun... I also think of it as 'defrosting'... but I also think that she likes the freedom of being outside, whereas inside she is expected to behave She will however, come back and give sad eyes at the door when she's been out long enough and is hot again!! Chloe on the other hand, won't budge once she's inside... she's no fool. Edited February 4, 2011 by Kelly_Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ark Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I looked outside today to see my min pin, Chester, laying on top of our shadecloth-type pool cover. It sags just enough to give him a little "pool" of his own. He would lay there for long enough to cool off, then go and lay on the grass again.

laneka Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 5 Rotts here, 1 young male and 2 mother/daughter combo's. One of the mother/daughter lot will cook themselves in the sun. All the others are too smart and stay in the shade or indoors. I don't know why they do it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannibalgoldfish Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Loki will lie upside down in Summer "working on his tan" He sheds so much he has very thin hair and bald patches on his belly and it goes from it's normal Winter Pinky white with black spots to a dark purple colour. Please tell me this is normal??? He has cooler areas to sleep but he would rather be spreadeagled on the hot concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsalot Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Riley will do it too. Even Charlie our cat does it. Its 39 degrees out there now, and she's in the shed part of her cat run, in the cat scratch pole box thingo. She could lie on the pavers which are really cool, or come outside in the breeze, or go under the deck on the pebbles, but nope, in the hottest spot every time!

Guest Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 This thread is hilarious. ;) I just thought it was my dog that did this. I put sunscreen on her nose, I need to put it on her belly. Same as all the other dogs, Blister goes outside lays on her back and spreads her legs.... Temperature 40.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peigirl Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Mine do it too When I'm home I leave them out there for a few minutes and then haul their tooshies straight back inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodleslave Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 A couple of my mini poodle girls do this ,lie out on the conrete on when its a stinking hot day. The boys don,t do it though, I guess they have certain thing they want to protect The concrete would be burning my feet and one of girls - Gracie needs to be heaved off the concrete.

Same as all the other dogs, Blister goes outside lays on her back and spreads her legs.... Temperature 40.9 'Blister' - what a fitting name! I have to put sunscreen on both my two - all over their bellies because they lie on their backs and bake. Silly things! THEN they complain in their crates at night because they are HOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Try to tell a 10 year old Whippet that they cant do zoomies in 40 degree heat He finds the hottest part of the house to lay down in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanbrook Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hey everyone,my 3 Bullmastiffs will if i let them. The are in air con all the time and if i let them sunbake they get sunburned. True..

Bilbo Baggins Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) We are on our 5th day over 40 degrees.Dogs have spent every day all day inside with me in the airconditioning. Every 3-4 hours I let them out for a stretch & toilet break. Each time at least one or 2 of them will go past the shaded deck to lay (and pant) right in the middle of the backyard in the stinking hot sun until I call them back in again. Why on earth would they do this??? Because they can. ;) :D ETA. My ruby girl did when she was 7 weeks preggers Temp 38 deg.
