Oh My Record Breaking Heat

Here is the gallery.

Well, today Yoshi was bred so come fall, we will have 3 litters. We must be nuts but we had a long lull of no litters. Yoshi is a small gal so she will have small pups - 7 to 9 lbs, I suspect. Her pups would be due around September 23rd. Going to be a full house indeed. 

It is hot today - like beyond hot. We let dogs in and out early and will go out late again and we also had short ventures outdoors. This heat is truly something else. The dogs do not like it but if I am out, they want to be out. 

Harlow had to go in to get her tummy drained and they got the most they ever got out of her. She feels so much better. She was ignoring outdoors and now she is a happy gal. I tried to find her breeder to see if she is stiill around (just incase she wants to hear about her) but have been unsuccessful. The gal is loved and is happy. At 7am this morning she was out trying to see if there were any rabbits. She hasn't done that for a bit. I am glad.

Soon we will be doing tv snuggles. It is Dennis day off and he has been in his room all day. LOL When pups come days off go. sigh But pups will be fun! The cold won't be and here I am complaining about the heat. Can't win.

Miss Mia departed today - over 16 and she is still opinionated. I hear her sister is too. Lola arrived. 

It actually is a quiet house, at the moment.

Glad Harlow is feeling better, poor gal.
We had all 3 out and back in quickly, just too hot. Lots of juggling to get all 3 pee and poo breaks, remember, 1 is not ours😅
I see your trumpet vine is blooming, mine, which I have been trying to rid but then gave up and kept it kinda limited growth, it DIED this past winter, it's kinda in a wind tunnel between my house and neighbors, oh well!

Yes, Harlow seems to be happy at the moment. It does make her feel significantly better when she is drained. She is happy - looking for rabbits and looking for treats.

I can't get rid of my trumpet vine if my life depended on it unless I burned it at the roots. It is rather magnificent but truly invasive.

We play the game of out and in quickly but boy are we going through pads. It is insane how many. boxes we buy lately.

At least its supposed to be hot today but not oppressive. Progress.
