PWB Partially Random Thursday: Heat Wave edition! [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-06-26

Okay, it is hot out there.

Like, HOT hot.

Like, reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaally hot.

So today let’s look at some ways we all can stay cool :-) More after a brief word from our sponsors!

Welcome to PWB Theme Thursdays! If you’ve never visited or commented in a PWB (Pootie/Woozle/Birdie) diary before, come on in — the water is fine, and the folks are always friendly! A few quick guidelines: No trolling the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.

When it comes to problems, we may just have someone with experience who can help. So ask!

Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.

There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!

​There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.

How hot is it, you ask?

This hot:

And this hot:

It’s so hot even the hoomins are getting creative to get some shade:

Some folks have learned to embrace the heat.

But most of us prefer to avoid it!

Dolphins, of course, have little trouble staying cool:

And some animals are happy no matter what the temperature!

Some of us are optimistic that the heat will break soon:

Others, however, do not find the idea of more rain comforting.

x The rains have come. They come a lot. Now there's a lake outside the window. It's getting higher and higher. I meowed for mom, and she yelled for daddy. They moved all the stuff off the floor. Is the water going to come into the house? -Wumpus #CatsOfBluesky #CatLife #Cats — Her Feline Highness (@herfelinehighness.bsky.social) 2025-06-25T20:36:43.751Z

One VERY IMPORTANT THING I’d like to mention: I know people sometimes suggest clipping your dog to help them stay cool. It sounds like a great idea, but for many dogs with thick coats, that extra fur serves as insulant against both cold AND heat. Malamutes, Shiba Inus, Chow Chows, and Samoyeds are all breeds who rely on their coats to protect them from heat stroke - so check with your vet before giving your pupper a hair cut!

And now for something completely different!

Been there, brother:

Happy Thursday, everyone!
