Ahahhahahahaha. Just take your unbagged self to the window and close it.
It's 28C right here, right now. 0400 local time. It's headed for 42 or 43. My sympathy is a bit stretched. Sorry my friend.
I once installed a dog door in a house. The biggest dog door in christendom so my Rottweiler could squeeze through to do his sizeable dog duty in the yard with out my having to leave my peace and rest.
My dearly beloved took one look at that dog door and said "What were you thinking? I can damn near walk through that thing. Every burglar in the county has to be thinking about what he will do with our stuff." I said "No human in his right mind will go through that with the chance to meet the dog on the other side."
From that day forward I had to secure the damn dog door before retiring for the night. You see, I was not unbagged and I knew what my chances were. Slim to none with out the security of a locked doggy door.
Live and learn, I always say.
42!?! Is that Fahrenheit? It can't be Celsius, surely?
Nothing could survive in such heat!
I think the hottest it has ever gotten in Scotland is 30 and a tiny bit and that would have been a freak event heralding the end of Scottish life as we know it.
Haha, that's such a shame having to secure the dog door, a rottweiler dog door no less, you would have to be insane to go through such a thing!!!
Blummin other half's, they can be daft!

I can empathize with you @bigtom13! We just went through two weeks of 42-44C with 70 - 80% humidity every day. That is our usual before the rainy season begins in full swing. We have had Tropical storm Amanda sitting off our coast for 4 days and now we have Tropical Storm Crystabal heading towards us.
We had large dogs and a dog door when we lived on a farm in Canada. It ended up being screwed shut after a gaze (large group) of raccoons decided to raid the kitchen one night. Where were the dogs? Sleeping by the fire in the living room!
Our Monsoon season officially begins on June 15th. Generally, for me it's a time of relatively high humidity with impossibly high temps, up to 48C. Ugggghhhh.
We had raccoons but the dog took it on himself to keep them away from his food bowl, and consequently outside. But I was always worried about the skunks (we had a resident female) because the dog didn't mess with them at all after one engagement :)
Do you have any idea how much tomato juice it takes to deoderize a 160 pound Rottweiler?
Yes, I do! My Lab Newfie and the Mastiff Lab cross were very curious about skunks until that fateful first encounter. Both came running to the house, tails between their legs and howling. Te first gt it straight to the face and chest. The second full flank. Put me off from drinking tomato juice ever again.
ENGAGEtokens.
