What’s a dog supposed to do when it’s hot? So hot all a dog can do is sit around panting?
GO FOR A RIDE WITH MOM AND DAD! That’s what a dog can do—
Well….Sunday we all loaded up and ‘went to the hills’—Grand Mesa that is. There we gave Linkin and Bladen back to their folks and hung around awhile.
Hank and I watched the chipmunks and Camp robbers steal his dog food. We just watched because we were hunkered down under Hank’s Mom and Dad’s trailer.
(We didn’t want to just watch, but……………)
Back home Mom and I saw Ruth…she was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY over there. I hollered at her. She just continued to sit there.
We saw a skin…the skin of a bull snake, that is. It was a big one!
There are lots of quail around and many, many, just starting to be able to fly baby pheasants.
When we go irrigate I always cool off. I try to cool off, that is.
It’s sure been hot!

You certainly saw some very interesting sights, even if it has been so hot. I really like the way you try to cool off in the irrigation ditch.

You are one busy dawg, and SO many friends! I’m curious what Ruth is thinking way up there on her perch. She looks like she keeps her cards close to her feathers.

Sensible dog – an irrigation ditch!
Our dogs on the property in the summer would in the heat
of the dry scorching days be found in the river or in a dam,
especially, “Phillip”, the cocker spaniel.
I think “Phillip” always picked the muddied part to rest in.
I hope Boomer is a bit more appearance proud?
I think he did it to ensure a proper bath and then
if not tied up, he’d be back in his mud pool!!!
Certainly was not the way to impress my parents!!!
That’s a good “Joe Blake” skin to have found.
I hope the owner is not venomous???
