So I took Bernadette on a walk around Greenlake, which is a 4 mile walk that people in Seattle run, bike, walk, roller blade etc around. We went with two friends of mine and one of their dogs. Bernie did really well, it was her first big walk, most of the time we stay around our neighborhood.
Anyway, it was 78 degrees and I made sure to bring bottled water and her bowl, we stopped in the shade to drink about four times and she even got into the lake and waded around a bit. I thought she was fine but when we got home, she threw up about 30 minutes after I gave her a bath.
I've heard maltese can get sunburns and heat stroke easily, are there other precautions I should take for Bernie in the hot weather that I'm not thinking about?
