Warm weather and water.

Please may I ask a question, without you lot having a laughing fit about it.
You know the warmer weather is coming and on our walk today Mishka was panting like mad, her tongue was hanging out, bless her she was so thirsty.
Would it be really silly to buy or make some sort of saddle bag for her to wear in which she could carry a bottle of water and fold up dish.
Is this a really cruel idea, I am not sure, would it damage her back.
Maybe I should get a backpack and carry the water for her, after all, she is a GSD.

We carry a backpack with us (with water + bowl, treats, toys, poo bags, baby wipes, towel, long leash,...you name it!) everywhere. My OH always say we would carry less stuff if we had a kid

You can buy special back packs for dogs, so it might be an idea!
