Day 273 of Ania's Diary.

Overnight every window and every door was left open. Ania was so restless that I left the humidifier on for a while but had to switch it off.
We were in the field at 8am with Ania's cool coat on but she was gasping from the start. I took her once around the field and we were straight back and then I took the other 2 for a bit longer walk.
Ania has not eaten all day. Her breathing is horrible but she never complains.
At the moment Ania is lying in the doorway with the fan going full pelt to keep her completely cool.
I wanted to clip Ania's fur off today but she is too exhausted and the quickest I can do it in is an hour.
Hopefully tomorrow she may be a little better. I was told that the heat would kill her and she would only survive if we did not have a hot summer.
We are planning to go to the caravan on Sunday and we will be able to go to the cool Stover Park

 under the trees and it will be lovely. That is if this weather holds out.
This photo was taken before the heatwave and before Ania had all her ears shorn off.
