It's been hot here this week. When I say hot, that seems like a very small word for the oppressive air that beats down on us and steals our breath when we venture out to use the powder room. The other morning when we woke up, they were already saying the heat index was in the triple digits! Yikes! That extreme heat means that it's not safe for us to be outside for long. It also means that we are starting to get a case of cabin fever.
Mom and Dad have been going over to Aunt Julie's house and Grandpa's house all week to check on things because they're both gone. That's right, I have to put up with Dad coming home smelling like Ruby and Nipper and Mom has been spending time with Dirty Harry, Aunt Julie's cat. We've all been understanding since Aunt Julie is gone and I guess it would be wrong to let them starve.
Well, anyhow, Mom got an idea the other night since we were going to both houses. Aunt Julie's house is just a mile from Grandpa's house. Blueberry, Morgan and I all got into the van with them and I saw some unusual gear, including our long lines. They took care of things at Aunt Julie's and then we went to Grandpa's. They took us down to the creek and I got to try out my new PFD. We all had fun dipping our toes in the water and it was definitely a refreshing way to get some exercise without getting too hot.
I was impressed that even Morgan got in. It seems that she might in water after all! Now I just need to convince Mom to take me out to the lake!
