Goosey, I have been looking after a doggie this weekend, she is very tiny so I put a little inch of so of cold water in a flat bowl, and popped her feet in, I also put some "sensitive skin" baby wipes in the 'fridge, and I have been wiping her down with them, given her ice cubes to lick, and I think she has enjoyed her stay - gone home now. Lets hope it cools down a little for these animals soon, and maybe some of us !!!! Mrs Bouquet
