Dog Days Way Too Soon!
It is not easy being a furry creature. There is no way to unzip the outfit and take it off for a while, you know, to let body parts BREATHE!
Mom gets me the shortest haircut possible and has my ears trimmed too. I look so much younger that way...sigh.
The heat in southern Oregon has been a bear lately. Mom says the little box with funny letters in it says it has been over 100 degrees the last three days. Lucky for me, she takes me for my walk early in the morning when its nice and cool for me. That way I am ready for my mid-morning nap by the time we get home. She's been keeping me inside most of the day except to go you-know-what, but it is so hot out I can't wait to get back in and have some tasty water from my big dish.
The only think I worry about when its this hot is when the clouds start to come in and then we might have a loud storm. I DO NOT like them. The sound scares me and so I get really shakey and follow Mom around. One time I followed too close and made her fall down. I was sorry and she wasn't mad so I guess we were ok.
There's not a lot to do during weather like this but lay around and dream of steak, and ice cream [though I never get any...] and chasing cats and bunnies for fun, never to do harm. Mom says I dream and that I try to run and bark in my sleep. A likely story...where does she come up with this stuff anyway???
My advice to all my pet fans is to lay low during the hottest part of the day, drink lots a water, get over being afraid of the wading pool and kick back and relax. It's a dog' life all right...and that's fine by me!
