It is just so hot here! We’re having a major heat-wave in the north-east. Two days ago it apparently hit 101°F!! That is crazy hot for here. Plus it’s really humid too.

So me and the dogs haven’t been doing much of anything lately. Hiding in our two air-conditioned rooms. When I stepped out of the shower yesterday Zeeke was splayed flat on the middle of the living room floor. Zoe doesn’t seem to mind the heat as much - maybe because she was originally from Tennessee?? Hmmm, now there’s a thought.

Zoe has been frustrating me lately, though. She’s been waking me up frequently in the middle of the night because she either needs to go pee, or wants more water. So I haven’t been giving her water at night (or taking up what’s there) - this creates a whole lot of whining from her (man is she a whiner), but it’s been helping with the peeing. Last night both dogs ended up sleeping in their crates because they woke up at around 1am and decided not only did they want water, but while they were waiting they were going to play. I don’t think so. I’ve been getting bad enough sleep as it is. So after Zoe whined for a little bit she settled down and we all managed to get some sleep. Denis says her whininess is my fault - that I’ve catered to her needs too much. I think he may be right.
