Curious about your tags on the dog vocalizations post! Since dogs don’t sweat and panting is a natural but somewhat embarrassing behavior, would you say that items like hand fans are particularly popular to help cool down? Maybe especially in hotter areas or in certain social circles where it would be particularly embarrassing or even hard to hold an important conversation if the heat is making someone pant too much?
I thought about this earlier and I believe so! I'm under the impression that hand fans were fashionable in 16th-17th century Europe so it's not even something I have to add just for the dogs.
