Can't beat it. 87 right now with a heat index of 97. We'll be at 97 with a heat index of 106 by 4pm. Of course my thermometer on the side of the garage that is in the sun says it's 108.

It is so hot out here I had to change all the water for everyone in the afternoons even though all the waterers are in the shade. My kids took THREE showers yesterday (voluntarily) and went to the pool. My poor goats just look at me like "maaaaaaaa, make it stoooooooop"

My puppy Frawg thinks this is the worst thing ever too....she was born in December

Now that you mention it Indy was born in March! But my summer boys, Kobi and Stan, were born in July and June and they're not happy either!

My hubby suggested I tell you all what we do for the dogs when it gets hot sometimes (I had forgotten about this). You shave their bellies. I don't currently have a working shaver so it had kind of slipped my mind (and of course it doesn't work on dogs without hairy bellies). But it really cools them down, especially ones like Kai that probably has a real thick chest hair. They don't look so odd with just the belly hair gone and they can cool themselves by lying down in the cool dirt somewhere and having the belly shaven helps.

So just in case you didn't have anything else to do inside, you could shave Kai's tummy. hee hee No princesses have HAIR there anyway.

*Kai looks at SD mournfully.

SD: What?
Kai: She won't do the pom pom tail. Can you give me a pom pom tail?
SD: I don't think that is the look your mom is striving for with you, my dear.
Kai: Distract her with bacon, I'll grab the clippers and meetcha in the basement.
SD: I dunno, Kai, you have to convince your mom.
Kai: Noooooooooooooo (turns into howl)*

Nooooooooo, Kai, you'll look like your MIL's poodles.......mommy will SNAP!!!

Here in Texas its 95 at 10 am but our heat index is lower than yours cuz we dont have your humidity. This mess is unbearable when you have the humidity sucking your breath out. I feel for ya, This is bad bad bad.

We need that stupid heat dome to move, Texas in the summer, I expect the heat, dont mean I like it.

We need a drooping melting icon. ughh.

BABBBGHGHGHGHHHHHHH!!!!

*OFG flies into a blind rage and passes out*

actually Kai doesnt have much hair on her belly... we might just do that. ha! Ti says that real dogs cant take the heat and get away from me with the clippers. Lucky thinks it will be the funnest game EVER.

ok fine. since you drug it out of me - here is the latest MIL story.

so you know TBM works weird hours (you dont? well he does) sometimes really late so he sleeps in. fine.

so yesterday the phone rings BEFORE 8 IN THE AM (um.. who calls that early unless its me calling the neighbor yelling "your cow is out!"). its the MIL.

the sad news is that her husband's mother is very poorly and will probably pass soon (they thought yesterday). so she called to tell him they were at the hospice.

OFG, thinking: um. ok but you could wait an hour to tell him that? really? its all about you?

THEN

she starts nagging him on and on about how he has to go to the funeral.

OFG, screaming silently: HEY LADY - SHE ISNT EVEN DEAD YET! hows about if you let the body cool before you start b*tchin' at him?

and then there's the, "well why isnt OFG going? she's YOUR wife" (and i'm very sure the MIL refers to me as "that woman who stole my son")

um.... b/c its over 100* and you know very well that one of us is almost always here..... and that poor woman isnt even dead yet so how are we supposed to tell you if we are going to the funeral for someone who isnt even DEAD YET??!?!?

i can already see the fight brewing - provided that poor woman actually passes - if the services are during the week - guess what. neither of us are going b/c if TBM doenst work then he doesnt get paid. and no, having to go to the service for the mother of your step-father (generally referred to "the husband of my mother" no "father" reference) isnt a get off work for free day.

and its gonna cost $100 is gas money to drive up there.

hows about this. we'll send some flowers and make the husband of the MIL a meat loaf.

for heavens sakes.

 

[Wifezilla]

Uuhhh...sorry about that. Couldn't help myself. I wonder if she has your funeral all planned out already too

 

[savingdogs]

I think it is kinda poor taste to discuss the funeral before the person is dead, at all. Much less plan the guest list. That is crazy. I have to admit I get a smile when I just hear you START talking about the MIL, you get so funny when you are mad. I hope it is a good "release" for you.

We would shave them up to their armpits on their front legs, leaving enough on the sides to hide what we had done. If you shave their tops they can get sunburnt but the underside is where they cool themselves and MOST dogs don't lay with their belly in the air to rest. (edited to add the DOGS, not the MIL)

*Looks down at Kai, who is rolled over on her back, demonstrating that a dog can sun their tummy"

SD: Yes, dear, we know it is possible, you are very smart to follow our conversation like that. Now get up Princess....er......sweetie, I mean Ms. Poodlekiller or whatever your name is. *
