in a sixty degree basement! She used to think she was being punished to be banned to her large kennel down there (with all her treats, toys, and doggy-approved music playing), but now, ooooooh, Mama!

It's supposed to be 100F. That way they have a small area in the apartment that's comfy, even if the rest isn't.

I do this anytime the forecast is for over 94F because the place just gets too hot. If the forecast is for over 105F, I use the big living room unit instead. If it's for over 110F, I leave both of them on, but the electric bills can be breathtaking. fortunately we see only a few days a year over 110F.

Boy-baby is passed out on his blanket in front of an AC vent. All is good in Corgiville.
