Farewell party

[Watson]

Our co-workers met together today for a little farewell party. Since it was at a park, I took Watson with me. Bought him a cooling bandana yesterday just for this. He did well other than trying to eat every crumb off the floor. Most of the comments I got were that "he is so huge." Oh yeah, he was very good with the kids other than trying to air hump a two year old girl.

Are we there yet?

Like my cooling bandana?

ok kid, you can pet my back

everyone must recycle their plastic bottles

Here he is with one of my coworkers

We are finally home, can't you tell I am ready for my nap...

He is just so cute .... what were your thoughts on the cooling bandana?? We have never tried them and I'm still not sure they would be any good here ... Ohio summers not only get very hot but also very humid!! Linus shows signs of having difficulty breathing if the temp and humidity gets even slightly higher than normal.

Look at that handsome guy! Looks like he had a good time.

I think it works better with a collar than a harness. It is pretty easy in that you just soak it in cold water for 15 mins and these gel balls expand and keeps the neck cool for a whole day. He stayed in a covered area the whole time so it wasn't too hot. I think it is ok.

Those are some great photos! I love your Watson . He's so eco-conscious too isn't he, monitoring that recycled bin!!

Looks like Watson had a great time and was a hit.

haha, his daddy is actually bad at recycling so he has to keep reminding me

Looks like Watson had a great time and was a hit.

thanks, David, he is very good with kids but he is so strong I am afraid he will knock them down

Never ... a gentleman does not fart. I suspect it was a nearby cat that did it!!!

I think the cooling bands are very beneficial for our pups because they are very beneficial for me. I used to work in a factory in Ohio where, due to the machinery, it was always at a minimum 15 degrees hotter inside than it was outside and if it was humid it permeated the whole place. I also have asthma. I do not tolerate humidity well at all. The only thing that made it possible to work in that envionronment was cold wet cloths worn around the neck. Now that they have the cooling gel it's even better because they stay cooler longer. Just refresh in a drinking fountain often if outside long, or they are great even if you use only for quick trips outside on those miserable hot days.

At least not out loud....the silent ones are the deadliest

thank you, Sherry

so @Watson, does this mean your road trip back to CA will begin soon? are you and Watson ready for it?

We turn the apartment over on June 27th. We are going to stay at my friends house that night and take off first thing in the morning on June 28th. Watson is a little wigged out about why things are changing but I keep his routine as close to normal as possible.

I left the cooling bandana on him even after we got home and I just went to check it. No longer cool now so it lasted from 1pm to 10pm. Pretty good. I am gonna get him another one for the road trip coming up. I will put two bandanas on him to maxmize the cooling.
