Yikes So Hot

Here is the hot day gallery.

Everyone asks about getting their dog to swim but in reality, unless they are getting groomed that day and going home, it's a crazy amount of work. We just took Tobi today but he is going home so perfect day to get him to swim. I bathed him, trimmed him and blow dried. Now he has been playing so he may look interesting but knot free. I didn't take Coco in as she was more interested in the cool air conditioning. It was 40 hot feeling out there. My ipad overheated.

I also washed and blow dried Ella, Misty and Sky. I had 3 others to do - so do the math. Tomorrow we shall see if I or my hands can do the departees swimming. Nathan these days does less and well it is all on me. I hate to have to say it but tips are appreciated when I have all this extra work. It is my bonus when I have to work extra hard - like dematting etc. 

The dogs were standing on their legs playing. Harlow was shimmying in the grass.

I went to mow last night but the lawnmower was sending out smoke and none of us had a clue. I really need to weed but I am not going to. I hate 'to do' lists, don't you?

I'd come to help weed but this week with the heat, can't, and I am also so busy. Maybe next week, rain coming though, I'll keep you posted.

Thank you for the photos of Tobi swimming (with Hallie!) and thanks for helping him learn! It's heartwarming to see that he was surrounded with both human and doggie affection during our absence!
