She has been doing better until last night with the panting, but it was also about 82 deg. here yesterday and even though we had the ac on it was about 73 in the house. So today we went and bought a cool bed they have them for large dog also, you fill it with 6 gal of water and it stays cool and is actually comfortable. Just getting her off the couch to lay on it is a hard thing. The only thing she could be stressed about is her friends, the dogs behind us don't socialize with her as much now that she is getting bigger and she has ran the fence with them since we got her! It really makes me mad! She went outside today to play with them and they turned away, it was so sad to see her, she was all ready to come inside, so we took her to PetsMart and then to go eat lunch at Sonic, that is her saturday treat, she goes and sits under the table while we eat and everyone adores her. Will keep you posted on our next child, we may adopt one from a rescue shelter!
