Apparently there won't be any other house guests, just the GSD that lives there. The size difference, plus Jet's experience of random attacks by my daughter's GSD cross (now rehomed after it growled at the baby) contributes to Jet's nervousness, but if the GSD is able to be calm then it could be a positive learning experience.

Luckily they weren't too far away, the car was parked in the shade and Wanda seemed none the worse by the time we got the car open again. She got out, had a drink then a paddle in some water nearby too (but not a drink from the lake in case there were algae problems) and came home quite happy... before heading into the living room and sitting by the electric fire grumbling for it to be switched on

When we eat outside she always plonks herself in the brightest hottest midday sunshine like some insane sunbather, and it takes quite a while before she realises she'd be more comfortable in the shade.
BaronessBL Aug 2016 10:43pm, 23 Aug 2016 5,819 posts	0 BaronessBL That's a lovely picture! Wanda is also a sunbather. I allowed her a home made 'doggy ice-cream' today which helps to keep her cool
