Out of the Blue

I encountered a snag yesterday in my efforts at keeping Hudson the Wonder Dog's occasional dog-aggression curbed using a muzzle. She's not wild about wearing it, but tolerates it for the most part, and it has definitely helped prevent scuffles, but with temperatures around here hitting the 80s lately (we have a brush fire alert today - you'd think it was southern California, or something), the muzzle is impeding her ability to properly pant in the heat. I realized this when I saw her running along with her tongue poking out through the end of the muzzle trying to cool off. I guess I'm going to have to keep her on a leash on really hot days.

Yep, that is the sort of thing I am thinking of. Some of the muzzles have even deeper hollows than that. They are fairly easy to get for english whippet hounds, greyhounds and salukis but other breeds can be a bit more bothersome. You might even have to have one custom made. Well worth the effort though, we had one made for the Afghan hounds we had at the time.
