Daddy...

...so wishes that I would cuddle with him all the time. (Ok, so Mommy does too). But don't you see, Daddy, I just get way too hot. There is too much hair on me. But I'll cuddle with your for just a little bit. Oh the things we do to make the pawrents happy. Are you a cuddler or are you a non-cuddler?

We have no words

It was a sweltering...

...ninety seven degrees here today. Can you say wowza? That is a wee bit hot for our taste. We couldn't think of a better way to spend the day than by resting our tummies on the cold tile floor. Mommy said that there is a device which warms up your tile for those oh so cold winters (which we love). We wonder if there is a device that cools down the tile floors even more. Doesn't that sound like heaven?

Boy, oh boy...

...if feels like Summer is already here. Besides camping and fresh veggies and fruits from our garden, Summer is our least favorite season. It was ninety degrees today and it's going to be even hotter tomorrow. (Insert sad face).

The A/C has been on all day. The best thing for us to do is nap directly under the fan and wait for the evening. Atleast it will be a little cooler by then. (Paws crossed).

It's like a...

...heat wave. It was 87 degrees here today. (We are still shaking our heads). That is a little warm for our taste. As soon as we came home from our walkie, I went straight to the grass. Boy did it feel nice and cool.


Hurry, Sierra, it's much cooler here.


It's supposed to get up to 90 degrees tomorrow. Not. Cool.

See what happens...

when I come inside after being outside for a long time? I just wanted to quickly say hi to Mommy and then go back outside again. But...I guess she had other plans. As soon as I jumped up onto the couch, Mommy said her feet were cold. She thought it'd be fun to cover me up too. Of course, I gave her the look. You know the look. The look of..."hey, Mommy, I never, ever get cold." Next thing you know, Daddy's reaching for the camera and then the photo shoot began. Yes, I was a good boy and endured the heat from the blanket. As soon as we were done, I got some treats and I went back outside. Oh happy day!!!

What happened...

...to the fall weather? I love to lounge around on the grass every day...no matter what the weather is like. Okay, maybe the rain will keep me off the grass for a bit...but not for too long. With the cool temps we've been having lately, I've been staying outside longer than usual. But...we've been having summer like weather for the past few days. Isn't this supposed to be fall? It's already dark by dinner time so I'm not really sure what's going on. I hope the cooler temps come back soon.

Until then, I'm going back inside.

It was...

...a sweltering 97 degrees today. What happened to the the Fall weather? I guess our Summer weather is finally here. Better late than never, right? Sierra and I spent most of the day napping. When Mommy got home she noticed that I was laying in the double rainbow that was hitting our tile floor. I guess the pretty rainbow makes up for the hot temps. Well...almost.

We've been having...

...such a cool summer. But we knew it was bound to happen. The hot weather worked its way back to California. Even though were not having a heat wave like some places right now, that normal summer time feeling of being both hot and dry has finally arrived. I am even more sad that Mommy is still not feeling better yet. Her temperature peaked over 103 degrees tonight. Daddy, Sierra, and I all went for a long walk while Mommy napped. Her temperature looks to be dropping but we will be monitoring it closely all night. Please keep your paws crossed that she gets better soon and we'll be sure to visit your blogs once she gets better. We sure do miss everyone.

Sierra's Scoop

Happy Tuesday, everyone, it's Sierra! Today we were dreaming about

about cooler temps (this was at the end of Feb.).

Because it was THIS hot today.

How hot is it where you live?

Wordless Wednesday: This weather is making me delirious

It's like a...

...heat wave. Can you believe it was 98 degrees here today? That is not my idea of fun. The weather man said it will be over 100 degrees tomorrow and Wednesday. I think this is the pawfect time to make that move to Alaska that I've been dreaming about for years. I wonder if Mommy and Daddy will move there with me? I know Sierra is thinking about coming along even though she's not a big fan of the cold weather like I am.

In the mean time this bowl of cold, ice water will have to do for now.

What do you do to stay cool on those hot days?

Today was...

...the pawfect day to sit on these lounge chairs that Daddy set up for us. We love the feel of the cool breeze flowing beneath our bellies. I think the days of cool evenings are coming to an end. The weather man said it is supposed to be 93 degrees tomorrow. Sigh...BIG sigh....

Week thirty three in the garden

The fall weather left us yesterday. We had temperatures in the high eighties all weekend. The temps are going up to the nineties all week. I guess I'll be ok with the hot weather since our garden is still blooming. We haven't seen any strawberries for a long time but were glad to see the first one today.

We have lemon balm in abundance.
Mommy and Daddy have been enjoying lettuce in their salads with dinner every night.
Sierra heard something near the mint plant. (I sent her to supervise today since I was napping with Mommy).
It's a good thing Mommy wasn't out in the garden today because look at what Daddy found. A worm! Mommy thinks they are gross.
There is a cabbage sprouting. We love fall/winter gardening too.
Mommy thinks the shape of this butternut squash is just pawfect.
And look what we discovered today. One of our neighbors has a pomegranate tree. We hope we get to share in their harvest.

Wordless Wednesday: I've been in front of the fan all day

Sierra's Scoop

Wow it is really HOT! It was 90 degrees when we went walking at 9 pm but it was still too hot so we had to take the short way home. To help cool us down Teddy asked for ice cream but for now we settled on ice cubes in our water bowl. The trick to eating ice around here is to not drop it on the hardwood floor because its impawsible to pick it back up with only your teeth. If you can make it there, the best place to eat ice is on Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Teddy and I like to take turns sitting in front of the fan. Sometimes it feels so good that I fall asleep. He doesn't mind though. If I take too long, he just waits. Brothers are the best!

Sierra's Scoop

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope you're all having a great week. It's been really hot for the past week and all I can think about is being back in Lake Tahoe. It's much cooler there. There are some warm days too. But when it gets too hot we can just head on over to the Lake and go for a little dip. See the Lake behind me? Isn't it gorgeous? I hope we can go back soon! What are some of your favorite places to go?

Today's...

harvest! Look at how big our zucchini grew in just a few days. Wow! I think Mommy and Daddy have had zucchini every night with their dinner. Mommy says she's going to make bread and brownies with zucchini in it. Those sound yummy. It's too bad I can't have the brownies. Maybe Mommy can come up with a carob brownie recipe.

It was over 100 degrees today. We stayed inside most of the day. It was a little warm during our night time walkie but there was a nice little breeze. How hot was it where you live today?

Wordless Wednesday: It's so HOT!!! Where's the A/C???

Thankful Thursday

Summer's coming and I'm already hot! During our walk tonight I drank all the water that was in our water bottle. Mommy said that she was sweating too. So what's the solution? Well, not a solution but something to help me deal with the heat? A good brushing!

Daddy does the best job brushing me. First Daddy starts out with a comb. This gets most of my top layer.
Then he gets the Furminator to get my second layer.
I'm so thankful for the Furminator. I feel 10 lbs. lighter. Thanks, Daddy. I feel cooler already.
