Always Dressed Up When It's Hot Cause She's Got Pants

Barley, a dog, pauses in the shade and flashes her winning smile.

As a Florida dog, Barley handle the heat relatively well - she goes just as hard as usual at first, then starts shedding heat as soon as she needs to. In addition to panting with her housepainter’s brush of a tongue, she also pauses in the shade and rolls in damp green grass as appropriate. I know it’s anthropomorphizing to see this as a picture of her smiling, but from her alert ears and raised tail, I’m still confident she’s having a great time!
