[nagdu] Cooling vest?

[Dan Weiner]

Then welcome to all our Federation convention-goers, it will most likely be
over ninety-five and very humid during the convention. Enjoy--lol

Yours,

Hi.
personally, the more natural the dog can be, the better.  85 to 90 degrees
is most definitely not to hot for a dog.
the only time i restrict my walking is if it's over 95 degrees.  it's to hot
for both me and the dog.

something to consider before folks purchase cooling products.  Consider your
weather conditions and pick a product that will work for you.
