Dog Gone Heat

[Mephitical]

Anyone have a good idea on how to keep my two dogs that are outside cool this week? I've tried putting barn fans out and small swimming pools for them to lay in, but they don't like either. We've got them a good shady spot in the yard and keep their water full of ice cubes, which they like, but that's all I have. Their black labs for reference. Wife won't let me bring them inside since they are not good about where they go to the restroom.

Anything else I can try?

My vet has always told me that as long as dogs have shade and water, they'll be fine if uncomfortable, and this is in Oklahoma where it's been 100+ pretty much all summer. I built the above out of sheer boredom. It has nothing to do with me being a big softie.
