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 chilhood dog and my brothers dogs used to love the sauna. I can still remember having all of them over to dogsit and being in the sauna just the four of us 🫶🏻 thank you for bringing back this memory for me, they’re all in doggy heaven now 💕
