[nagdu] Introduction

[Martha Harris]

Hi Kelby,
I'm Martha, from Louisiana, and I'm waiting to go into class for dog 
number four. A cooling vest is helpful, depending on how hot the weather 
is where you live. We have upper '90s and hundreds. The chilly dog 
cooling vest has two gel packs that you put in pockets, and it fits 
nicely under the harness.

> Kelby, welcome to the list and congrats to you and Elvis. You might try giving your dog ice to eat and staying in the shade. I had a friend who actually had her golden retriever clipped. The dog sure did feel strange, but she was a lot cooler.

Oregon is significantly cooler than where I live in the summer and I don't want to overstress my dog.  The school gave me a set amount of water (3 cups) to offer Elvis at each watering.  Is giving more water ever advisable in this situation? Thanks!
