I've come indoors to get out of the heat. Lots of dogs really suffer in hot weather, we sit there panting with our eyes nearly closed and sometimes humans think we're enjoying ourselves. Luckily for me FP & ST always make me come inside the house to lay in the shade. They keep my water bowl topped up with fresh water too; I always drink more on hot days.
I haven't been posting much recently but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy! There's been loads going on up by the fence in the back garden. Since the foxes left that chicken carcass there a few weeks ago I've been keeping a special watch. The Staffy who lives in the next garden over has been digging a large tunnel on the quiet which is being used by some foxes to smuggle food about the area without it ever coming into my garden. What with that & the fact that ST ripped out most of a hedge my landscape is changing significantly. I'm remaking my maps of the area regularly using some open source software FP downloaded for me, plotting new places I can use to bury jumbones for a future shortage, as well as being there to rescue the ones at risk of being discovered. I'm only doing what ST seems to have realised is a good thing since he's buried a load of garlic & some potatoes against the future too.
In the park people have been remarking that I am quieter these days. That's because nearly all the puddles have dried up & the heat makes barking a premium effort for me. I can't just go about barking at everyone we meet! Also there's more to walking in the park these days than just keeping to the established route. We have to avoid all the runners taking part in various events too & I've lost count of the number of our regular owners who've been found wrapped up in that tape they use to demarcate the track for the athletes!
I'm off to have some more water. Always keep water bowls topped up!
