The Dog Days Of Summer?

It sure seems that way.  My babies don't venture out in this extreme heat that we have been enduring for over a month now.  Joe prefers to stay in the chair my late Father occupied most of the time while Sable is off somewhere stretched out on a cool tile floor.

It's Summertime

and the tongues and days are long.

Monday Morning Blahs?

No not really.  This is how Sable and the rest of us spend our weekends in the heat of the summer.  The trend will undoubtedly continue since the prediction is for temps reaching 100 all week.  But really, what's the difference in the typical 97 and 100.  I'm counting the days till October and cooler temperatures.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

As far as southeast Texas, it's too damn hot to leave a pet outside all the time. A man that I work with stopped by my desk last Thursday to tell me that his German Shepherd was dead in the backyard when he got home from work the day before. He said that he and his wife would spray him down with the hose as they sat outside and enjoyed a drink in the evening. Huh? My girls go outside to do their business and that's all they care to be outside this time of year. They don't even follow me around as I do yard work anymore. I suppose some dogs do acclimate themselves to the heat but still. I don't even want to be outside much in the heat. I'd never see a pet if I kept it outside. As discouraged as I get seeing gates, partitions, dog toys, hair balls, and such in my home I wouldn't make my dogs stay outside. Even at night the low is usually no less than 78 degrees for 5 months out of the year here.
So I hope the dog pictured above is just enjoying the warm pavers on a cloudy cool day and not banished to the outdoors.

Enjoying A Cool Breeze

Well not exactly. It's been anything but cool the last couple of months but it's been plenty windy. Having a fan on the patio helps as well. But for the most part the air is so thick you feel as though you could cut it with a knife. However, Lucy will endure with me while I am out side.On the otherpaw, all Sable has to do is stick her nose out the door and she's not interested in the great outdoors.

But...we'll take the heat and drought anytime over violent storms.

We hope all is well in your world.

It's Getting Hot Outside

My girls are just a huffing and a puffing. It's only May and hitting 90 degrees and Lucy and Sable don't like it. They don't even follow me around in the yard now. They usually do their gender proud and love to watch a man work around the house and yard but not for now. Sable has resorted to just peeking out the pet door. At least Lucy will come out and laugh at me sweating. Oh well. It will be cooler in October.

It's A Slobberfest:Warm Weather Is Here

Hey! Can you pump that gas alittle faster?

Are you sure you have the air on MAX?

Oh Hell No

Although, I'm cooking on the grill(chance of free food) with temps in the upper 90's.

There's no way my baby is coming outside. Peek and sniff maybe.
