They have double coats,poor guy is so hot, I keep him near the box fans as much as possible.

The real secret to handling the heat is to get cool sleep, and we can do that here, but still.....scary hot out in the evenings now,
when nights here used to cool down to at least below 80 in the summer.

Key West IIRC only gets down to 80 in the summer usually, pretty hot place and muggy as hell. Hope it gets cooler for you and Goldie!

eta: 83.7 F in Key West now at http://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:33040.1.99999
