Russ Airs Out


It cooled down over the weekend but Russ still thinks it is pretty hot. The picture says it all....

It's Hot in Iowa!







Russ is not a hot weather dog by any standard, well unless someone says football and then he is game, but for the most part he hates the heat. So while we were up north he was a happy camper. But we came home to heat and I do mean heat!






The air conditioner is working overtime and the temperature in the cottage was still rising--it hit 80 degrees at 9:00 p.m. The dogs are walking around with their tongues hanging out, so we went into supplement mode. We drug out every fan we could find, turned off lights, and brought out the cooling mats. Now you would think that Russ would find this to be welcome relief, but no he starts complaining that it's still too hot! Then he decides that the cooling mats need to be relocated. I am telling you sometimes there is no pleasing him!
I am pleased to report that the little monster finally settled down in front of a fan!

Corgi Frap


Life is good.


The water has receded to "major flood" stage or at my house we call it out of the front yard. Russ had some good exercise yesterday and he preformed like a rock star at our focus and heeling class last night. And I am happy to report neither tried to take me for a walk this morning, and Music only took 10 minutes to find her spot. Life if good!

We came back from our morning business session and Music is a Cardi on a tear. She wants to frap and frap hard. She jumps on Russ who is needless to say surprised by the whole affair but doesn't miss a beat before joining in the fun. They romped and played and good time was had by all.


The picture was taken a couple of days ago because all the shots from today were too blurry! They are currently passed out in their respective favorite spots--Music the bed with her head on my pillow and Russ Russ on the futon. Life is good!
