Cool Clear Water
Blue, who belongs to our Board President Kathy Downey, is lucky enough to live in the country near a creek.  He stays cool during the dog days of summer by wading in.

Made in the Shade
If you're a collie, you know how to find that cool spot during a hike. Fritz, Geordie and Karyn at Hartman Rocks Recreation Area near Gunnison, Colo.

After a Hike
When Maddie gets hot after hiking or any ol' time, mom Cynthia gives her a popsicle.  Maddie says that if someone would just invent squirrel-flavored popsicles, she would be the first in line.  Maddie is our Collie Correspondent in the Field.  She has entries for every month in 2010 in Photos and Stories.  Check it out!

Night Games
Adopter Lynne from California submitted this night-time photo:  "Here is Sage, indulging in her favorite method of cooling off in the summer: a dash through (or rather, at) the sprinklers.  Ok, really it's more of an obsession.  Her sister, Willow, thinks she is nuts!"

Ingenious Shelties
Dad Dave writes: "Bridget keeps cool by protecting the toilet!!  She gets right up next to it close to help her keep cool.  Paden sprawls out on the cool porcelain floor in front of the air conditioner outlet.  The floor is quite cool from the air blowing on it.  Usually they just lay out on their sides on our hardwood floors and don't even get on their beds until about 3 am.  I send them out early."
