Jaime,

Such a shame that Mimi is scared of the bottle as that is such a good way of 
keeping piggies cool.  You have probably already tried wrapping the botttle 
in a towel so that she cannot see it.

Does she have a cavy cozy for the winter?  A soft one that could be wrapped 
around the bottle? Something with which she is familiar could well be less 
scary even if there is a big bottle hidden inside. How about one of your 
jumpers or shirts, particularly one that you have just worn and would carry 
a safe aroma?

Even covering the bottle with hay might help. Maybe a piece of cardboard 
around it? She might get busy destroying the cardboard and forget about the 
bottle's presence.

It has been dreadfully hot here too, though not as bad as you are 
experiencing and frozen bottles are in all the pens as well as a plethora of 
fans nearby. Extra cucumbers are being consumed though the piggies do not 
need the excuse of hot weather to need those.

Hugs for Mimi.

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
