right. but she was saying animal fur doesnt have any sort of double coat (of different textures) built in air conditioning properties, that its the same as a human wearing a coat in the sun. I dont think so? I think they have different coats next to the skin and that it traps sweat and has a colling property. Because when mine are hot and I clip they appear dry but next to the skin they are wet. I could be wrong and most likely am :) but just seems mother nature had something in mind when she gave animals two coats? In summer I sweat, my skin has sweat on it and it is cooling. But when I wet my clothes, they stay cooler and wetter than my skin. because they are further from my skin. Maybe a physicist need to explain it to me... Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
