new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

Hi Iris:
I am so glad you found someone in your neighborhood. I hope she hires you right away. Sounds like the beagle is very old like the master! It is much cooler here today and some fog this morning. It is hard to believe it is July, but I am waiting for winter as that is when Tipper feels the best. I thought she was going to end up sleeping on the bed last nite, but got up in the middle of the nite and went in the closet. People were already setting off fireworks last nite. Hoping for cooler, wet weather for you and the babies. That was funny about you getting the ball for Enya and getting soaked. I would have done the same thing. Blessings

the lady hired me, and her beagle is lean and doing well.
needs to be groomed, but i will ask her if i might brush her. she has lots of old hairs and wool in her coat.
it is very hot and humid over here and it is not cooling down at all this evening.
no rain of course..........
did tipper survive the fireworks?
did not go anywhere with the dogs because of the heat today.
car is like an oven!
like you, i wish this summer was over.

Great news that the lady hired you.
Is it cooling down any over there?
Hot and humid here today, with storms over night that woke me up
with the thunder and lightening. Molly got in bed with me, upside down,
getting her belly rubbed, right next to me and stayed there till the lightening
and thunder stopped. Then I put her down and she went to her own bed
and I had a dickens of a time getting her to wake up this morning so I could feed her and take her outside for a walk and get myself off to work.
That girls needs her beauty sleep I guess. :)

hugs

hi sharlene, we had one cooler day with some rain, but hot and humid today again...bleeh! and the nights are sticky too!
glad that molly is surviving those thunderstorms by snuggling up with you under the blankets, so she can not see or hear the thunder.
sometimes i have to wake the dogs for their morning walk too.
but they have to walk because they won't p and p in the garden.
but they can sleep all day whilst we have to WORK!

So pleased to hear you got the job and it sounds like the beagle has been well looked after.

It seems like most of us here are looking forward to Autumn / Winter - last week we had 36C feeling like 40C thanks to the humidity, and following Hurricane Arthur over the weekend we now have 28C feeling like 35C - oh joy, not!! I hibernate once the temp exceeds 20C because the heat totally saps my strength - OH calls me his wilting English Rose :D

o, i feel the same way! summer is not my favorite season at all.
exactly, 20 c is ok, any more not!
and hot and humid gives me migraines.
the dogs love the cooler weather too, we had drizzle today [20c] and we walked in it for 1 1/4 hour in the forest and got wet finally!
tomorrow it will be the same, but later in the week, hot again, bleeh!
we are just delicate woman!

Spring and fall, those are the best times. I'm not a fan of winter at all, (canadians do love to be snowbirds and take off at the first sign of bad weather) :)

Hot, humid sticky doesn't cut it either. We have plenty of that too in the summer, but lovely springs and fall, are just divine!

Sharlene and molly muffin

yes, i love spring and autumn too.
is there a country where it can only be those seasons?
some snow with christmas will be fine, and kids and dogs love it too as long as it is fresh.
i thought you canadians were used to the cold temp. during winter?
it is only july 9 and summer has just started, counting the days till fall arrives.......

yep, molly needs to be walked too. She isn't a one pee kind of female, she has these alpha qualities that makes her think she has to mark just like a male dog! I can take her out in the yard as an in between but you best plan on giving her a walk at the regular scheduled times or she lets you know about it.

hmm, well California is pretty good, if you live by the ocean, you get that breeze all the time, and the hottest month is september and that is pretty much it. You can drive to the snow if you need to I'm thinking of the middle area or a bit north up by San Francisco, not down where Kathy, or near Los Angeles, which can be very hot. I do like fresh snow and snow at Christmas, but once it all turns to ice, I'm not happy.

LOL You'd think Canadians would be adapted to the cold by now wouldn't you and some areas get it really bad, but I just wait for it to all be over and spring to arrive.
I've mostly tried to live places that don't have tons of snow.

Sharlene and molly muffin

Well I absolutely love Winter, but I'm not Canadian (just live there), and most of the people I know locally complain about the snow or head South for as long as possible once it starts to chill. I like the proper Winters which don't have the warm days which cause thaw / freeze which makes the trails icy. We're in the snow belt so get quite a bit of the white stuff - we've had over 9 feet some Winters......
