Gail I notice where they are saying our area should cool off a little (high 80's) for the next week or so. But I still don't see much rain in that forecast. My dogs laze around in the shade of the porch all day on those hot days. That and waiting for any treats that may come out the door : )
i thought the same as jean, white or light dogs find it easier to stay cool, jake is dark and cant lay in the sun, he gets to hot. headed over to see the snake.
Yup our mutts got spoiled in this heat wave since we have allowed them into our one air conditioned room they steal the couch ...they still like laying in the sun though.
I wonder if we adults could lay out like the puppy and cool off?
I've been thinking about a little kiddie pool and a large glass of ice tea. Can you see it now, a fat lady in the pool with a glass of ice tea and the dogs sitting next to me, lol
Gail... Sometimes I feel like wallowin in the dirt! Loved the pic Loved the Canine 55 Thank you so much for playing this week, I hope you had fun! Have a Kick Ass Week-End
It is so blooming hot! I have really enjoyed the last two mornings of cool air, but within an hour or two- poof- it's outta here and the steam bath resumes. Blecchh...this is why summer is my least favorite month.
Our cats tend to keep to the shade as much as possible. Stay cool, Gail!

The intense heat wave and dryness that has gripped many states shows very little relief in site.
Several animals have found ways to deal with the heat. Check this out…one smart cool snake at Calamity Acres Hobby Farm.
Our snakes seem to have retreated but dogs are cooling parts any way they can.

Stay cool.

yup, summer is upon us.

We wet our Little Bit down and when she dries off we wet her down again. It's terrible for our babies. :)

Yup any way, anywhere, any how!
I keep refreshing the duck water- the babies just stand in it. The adults spatter it everywhere!

Looks like you built that play area just in time - do the dogs ever let the kids in there :)
That snake knows how to live!

Awwww, that's so very cute. But he (she?) still looks like a hot dog!
July 12, 2013 at 12:08 PM
Awww -- poor pup! I hope it cools down for you Gail!
Thanks so much for your visit. Was very happy you stopped by. :)

And it isn't even the dog days of summer, yet.
July 12, 2013 at 3:11 PM
I've been known to spread out naked in the mud to cool off.....hopefully there aren't any pictures around to prove that fact.
So..yes, I went ahead and clicked on the link, EVEN THOUGH YOU WARNED ME.
I guess my mother DID raise a dummy!
It wasn't too bad, since you warned me!

I need to try and do a post with just 50 words. I can hardly do it in a comment. :) Have a great weekend.

I'm right there with ya! We've been over 100 the past couple of days, too.

I always feel sorry for animals in the heat. All that fur!
