Thank you,
Chad.

On the kitty front, my kitties are still making me laugh everyday.

I found a link to an article for heat tolerant dogs if you'd like to take a look at it and see if one them would work for you. Border collies are on it, but like Dapper said, they are strong herders. Your cats would not be happy.

I think it's great that you are putting so much effort into researching the proper pet for your needs and wants. Remember after the 101 Dalmatians remake came out? People that had no clue how high energy and attention demanding Dalmatians were got them and then the shelters flooded with them months later.

One thing I'm sure you have already thought about is your work schedule. You will need a dog that's okay with being alone for a long stretch at a time and won't be destructive while you are gone. You will need to devote a lot of time to training and then be consistent so they keep up with it.

For thread compliancy, my fur babies are tearing up the place playing chase and Nascar.
