Hank vs. The Heat

With the extreme heatwave we've had recently, exercising Hank has been an extra challenge. It's been too hot to do much of anything outside but I still have to keep the big man busy.

There are a handful of dog toys out there that involve ice to keep cool. We have a Chilly Bone, but it doesn't keep Hank busy very long and then he tries to destroy it. And we don't have a Kool Dogz because it's secured by sticking it into the ground and we don't have a yard. So, I filled a mixing bowl with treats and water and put it in the freezer overnight.

This is a great and easy way to keep your dog cool and occupied in this heat. It does make a mess of your floors though, so do this outside or be prepared to mop!
