Not many dogs like the heat, unless you have a stupuid bull terrier that sits in the sun the whole day then wonders why he doesn't feel good and has sun burn! 
Cold wet towels can help.

not being able to buy my own flat, even with £17k savings, and annual wage of £20k.
I fucking hate this country sometimes. how the fuck can someone in full time employment not be able to house themselves. I would be better off if I just signed on, get a free place to live and free money every week.. working class always get mugged off, that's what's making my blood boil today

Pokey,
yeah done a fair bit of shopping about, but all quotes were coming in about the same, tbh im looking at fairly high interest rates cause i wanted a 5 year fixed, just so i know where i am, and also cause they not gonna stay low for much longer. as for 1st time buyer help, ive not been offered any apart from they will pay £500 towards my 1st years council tax bill.
the part buy part rent bullshit scheme is a con, you will end up paying as much if not more than if you could have got a larger mortgage and they set the market value of the property which they tend to set it a lot higher than its actually worth.
just fucks me off that I have a mate that lives in the block that I want to buy in, and he got his place for nuffin, all paid for by us, and he also gets £110pw spending money. make's me wonder why I bother going to a job I hate day in day out just to be able to not afford to live in a place that I could have got by just sitting on my arse and expecting everyone else to pick up the tab

Have you looked at taking a longer term Pukka thats what I ended up doing with a smaller deposit than that. I went for 30 yrs rather than 25 with the first two years fixed. I am into my 4th year now and the rates haven't changed much. Just fixed onto another product today with the same bank and they now charge to switch £100 fucking pounds !! Thats part my holiday spends gone. Anyway back to it. So Pukka I thought I would get some great first time buyer options NOOOOOOO. In the end I got a great deal with alliance and leicter purely for opening a current account with them maybe thats an option to look at too. Also the comparison website are good for a guide. I took the top five providers after doing a comparison then I just went to all 5 direct to push for better. Am sure it will work out.
PS - As for your Lorrie have u got any anti biotics you can take for the manky leg. Is it cut or skin infection. Could be cellulitus, if its red draw round the red area with a non toxic pen if it grows past the red line over night get to A&E.

Today she is already doing better than yesterday. I talked to a neighbour who was also walking his dog and he told friends of him recently had the same thing with their Frenchie. Also a young dog. That dog is also slowly recovering right now. Fucking weird.....
