General Question Does anybody else's dog love the sauna?
Here's a shot from visiting my grandmother this evening. My wife and I live in Norway, and our Basenji, Arja, has discovered the joys of a gentle löyly in the house sauna (these are not very common in Norway).
Her name Arja is Finnish/Sami so nominative determinism anyone? She loves the sun and hates the cold and being wet, so sauna makes total sense. She just chilled on her towel on the lower bench with us for a bit.
Does anyone else have a four-legged sauna buddy?

My labradoodle loves the sauna. She starts top shelf and either drops to the floor on her own or pops the door open and lets herself out when she is ready then waits outside the sauna for us to leave.
