Hot and Humid

It's hot and humid here in the good ole Midwest.

In fact too hot for the dogs to have their normal backyard romps, so they are driving me crazy in the house.

Ella chases Shaker, then rolls him over and proceeds to beat the snot out of him. It would never occur to dear lovable Shaker that he weighs twice as much as she does and that one well placed paw and the beating would be over....

Russ barks at anything that moves when he hasn't had enough exercise, so he barks and I bellow to STOP BARKING! Yes we are quite a pair.

Shaker is bored so he throws kibble all over the bedroom by digging his nose into the bowl and then pretending he is Flipper the Great Dolphin Cardi.

Ella for her part goes swimming in the water bowl. It is not even possible to describe how far one bowl of water can spread.

I can't wait for this humidity to break or maybe I will just set up sprinklers in the back yard. There has to be a pattern that would make it impossible for Russ to avoid getting wet!

A baby wading pool won't do the trick?

Unfortunately my dear Ruff Ruff wouldn't step in a wading pool for a Rib Eye steak. All the other clowns love the doggie pools but Russ well he is...apparently allergic to wading pool water!
