Keeping Cool In A Heatwave Dotty has her own melted but cold ice block to help her keep cool as the UK is experiencing some insanely hot temperatures at the moment. I made sure it wasn’t frozen and didn’t want her getting frostbite or her tongue sticking to it, but needed her to have something cold. She also have several cooling mats dotted around the house and lots of water bowls full of very cool water to drink.
