Very Sweaty Day

What the hey is THAT? The pool cleaner was going up too high (needed a weight on it) and was sucking in air and making all sorts of very loud noises. This is Treasure wondering what the hey that thing is that is making so much noise. She didn't like it but by days end it wasn't bothering her. It was as if she forgot this sound. Roxie almost jumped out of her skin at the sound but soon she was not even reacting. This was a new sound to her.
Conditioning is not a one time thing.
We have had a very hot and sticky day. I am actually sitting here sweating.
I wet most of the dogs and let them air dry. They don't come out nice and fluffy but they do come out soft air drying. You just have to remember you need to thoroughly brush and comb them and then brush then again after they are dry.
I did dry Jazzy as he went home at noon. Despite the heat he was a happy boy. I need to learn to be happy despite the mounting things life has thrown at us these days.
The dawgs didn't sleep well in this heat and neither did I to be honest. They were all on the bathroom floor cooling off. The tile is cool and heat rises. The only one in bed with me was Fiona hogging the water pillow that was chilly.
I am so hot that the pool no longer feels freezing to me. Now that's a tad ridiculous as your hand goes numb if you leave it in there.
Tonight Cocoa and Zack go home. As you can see I let them air dry and just finished brushing and combing them out. I do believe they were quite happy with this airing out business.
They wouldn't be if we had the air conditioning on as then they would have been cold but this was enough to take the curb off this heat business.
Here are a few photos taken today.

Looking forward to night fall and sitting outside. :-) I bet you the dawgs are too!

D&N - the pool looks lovely! Your hard work paid off.
Did you see that there is a docu coming on soon about a dog that's been cloned? I saw a short clip and apparently this clone puppy is exactly like the other dog - same mannerisms - everything! I intend to watch w/ an open mind.
I believe I watched something similar way back when. I am not sure how I feel about it.
PS: no pool heat so its a big pit of cold water to look at. hahahahaha Think I will do that now.
Yes, I do know what you mean. It's complicated. I watched the older couple (my age it seemed) so grief stricken that they had lost their dog too young. They are happy that they have an exact clone, w/ all the same mannerisms, etc.. However, while I have compassion for them, I too have been along that road, as have you, and there does seem to be the reality of what's meant to be and letting the past go and moving on. I'm not so sure cloning is healthy, but will remain open until I'm more educated. We also have to think about how far this will go and if we did this w/ humans . . . . ??? These topics intrigue me and so I love to learn about them.
