Way Too Hot and Pool Photos Added

Hardly any photos. It is incredibly hot and well the dogs thinks without air we must be nuts to be outside. I hear them. Without a pool, I agree. Here is a mini gallery.

The dogs are magnificently happy to be in air conditioning. 

Nathan's birthday is tomorrow. Sherry's birthday is the next day. Good month June is... Dennis won't be sleeping tomorrow to allow Nathan not to do a thing. We shall see if we can pull it off. One of our other sons is going to get gas and mow the lawn. I also weeded so he can walk into the pool shack. It is all the weeding I could muster in this heat. Nathan wants Tomos so sushi it is for him. 

Dennis told me today the dogs don't care if the water is cold. I added ice to one bowl outside and another without ice. They stood in line for the iced one. 

There will not be any running game today unless Dennis musters up one upstairs. They love it so but not safe to do one outside with the heat. 

They have a cooling bed that they all want to hog. It doesn't stay cold but cool and they like it. 

I have a knee that is killing me - arthritis and just won't quit. I have tried everything but the last 2 days has been ridiculous. Nathan says jump in the pool and you will forget about it. I guess I would for that moment of submersion as its still that cold in the pool but I won't. I am not even sure the dogs would enjoy and I am not going to test one to see. How cruel would that be?

Cooler day tomorrow and maybe rain. 

Nathan and some - not all the dogs went in the pool. Dogs didn't mind but Nathan said it was downright frigid. Added photos to the gallery. First swim and all of the season. My up to waist doesn't count. A video was added of the dogs jumping in.
