  1. Normally I never let my dog in the house, but it's been so hot these last few weeks! Even shade and water won't do it at some point. My AC has been a real lifesaver.

  2. That picture of the dog cooling off is really funny. I always wonder about the dogs that are outside. They are always in that heat outside. We sometimes let our dog come inside to cool off. http://www.assetaircon.com.au/

  3. I never thought air conditioning to be a health necessity, but I guess living somewhere that hot you would need a/c. It must be terrible in the summer time, because you can't really go out and do anything. I don't think a/c is such a big deal wear I live, but it's still unpleasant to have no working a/c. http://www.onehourairwestpasco.com

  4. That dog looks really cute surrounded by the rubber duckies! I was living in Southern California last year and our AC unit broke down part way through the summer. It was miserable without it and I would never wish it upon anybody. I wish I knew about these places when this happened.
