It's A Scorcher Here, Folks!

Hannah, Marley, Paloma and Patriot just want to sleep all day - there's no running around in the house or outside. We have had hot weather here for the past couple of weeks, give or take a couple of days, BUT today it is really HOT - 103*!! It's 89* in the house with 43% humidity - even the slightest movement makes one uncomfortable. We have several fans going throughout the house but bless their little motors, they're just not making the house cool enough. Marc made the trip to Lowe's this morning and purchased a window air conditioning unit. We can't wait until it's in and working. Tonight the "kids" will probably get to play in their wading pool again - it's a summertime tradition around here. Temperatures overnight are expected to only get down to 70*!

If you're in this weather like we are, please make sure to give your pups plenty of water to drink and to have plenty on hand for yourself, too. And, if you need to take them in the car, make sure your A/C is working properly. It takes just a few minutes for your dog's blood to boil when inside the car so it's important they're kept cool.

Hannah, Marley, Paloma and Patriot send everyone their best and hope Loki is enjoying himself in the land of St Olaf College - Minnesota!
