Yep, and it’s even better tomorrow, though the breeze has been super refreshing today. 

It is now, but most of the day has been super humid and awful. It's a relief after a week of 90+ temps.  Let's hope it lasts for a couple of days.  🤞

Mostly.  Seems someone has been licking his paw to the point of making it raw. They don't know why, but now he has to wear bright pink vet wrap on it.  He enjoyed a trip into the back yard now that it's cool!

Aww, poor puppers. I hope whatever it is, Brutus heals quickly.

So do I. 

Yesterday, there was a squirrel lying flat out on the patio trying to cool off. Then later, a really big (I’m thinking it might be pregnant it’s so big) robin on the patio with its wings outstretched trying to cool off. I do have a little pond (an upturned table) for drinking and bathing, but this robin wasn't interested in it.

23.45 and 80° in my bedroom.   As the wicked witch said, “I’m melting!” Over 100°F this afternoon.

OMG ... our windows are open, the air con is turned off.. it's under 75F and feels like 74 on the way down to a low of 57!!!   It's a weather miracle!     

If you could send a little bit of that south, @kbois and I would be most appreciative.

Sounds like an allergic reaction. My friend's dog was doing the same, and the vet recommended soaking the paw in epson salt after every trip outdoors to see if it was environmental. It wasn't. turned out to be a food allergy.

could be, though his diet is pretty strict.  His owner is going to take him to the vet and find out. Poor guy. Every time we've had him lately he's had a medical issue. Last time he split his ear open after rolling on something sharp. He had to wear a massive cone and a surgical cap thing. Omg.  lol

Michael and Dan refused to come out with me to waft cookie sheets. I'm sorry.

Improving if I do nothing! We went to supermarket for food. Came back to find the wiener dogs had pulled a pack of toilet rolls into living room and had major fun.  I wanted to cry. 
thanks xxxx

Those pups are lucky you love them. They also know it ... which means they do stuff like this. The little devils.

I was thinking about this, because my dog used to lick his paws as well. 

The brand of dog food he ate had a formula change, which caused him to be allergic to everything except mutton (lamb +rice), so we stopped his treats that were quite salty as it turned out. The licking stopped with the diet change.

oh no.. i'm sorry. That's awful under the best of circumstances.  i got left home today to babysit the dog. It's fine, divide and conquer is something we do a lot. Easier when everyone is healthy, though.

it's possible.. it's only one paw and thinking on it, it's not the first time. We've watched him for a bunch of years and he's done this before. So it could be an allergy. I know she told Michael, that she's gonna take him to the vet. Maybe he has an odd seasonal allergy.  Thanks for the info!  xoxo

You're going to be humming The Flintstones song all night aren't you? Lol 

[Mikiesboy]

What a beautiful day. Sat outside with the hound while Dan went to the grocery store. No air conditioner needed, no fans...glorious and quiet. 

Hope you all had a nice Friday and that your weekend is wonderful!
