[nagdu] Heat!

Fri Jun 22 03:13:08 UTC 2012

I live about 45 minutes from Palm Springs in California in over 90
degree weather, and so far Anise hasn't had any issues. I just put on
her booties, make sure she has plenty of water breaks and she is good
to go. She doesn't stop working in the heat, and she is a black lab.
Also, she doesn't hesitate. She seems to work just as well as any
other time. It's as though she is oblivious to the heat. And yes, GDB
does issue roughwear booties to all their students.
Juanita and Anise
