The Heat and Our Week

If you live in my neck of the woods, and muggy summer heat was what you were craving, the wait is over. A high pressure system with plenty of heat has moved in and given us plenty of humidity.

With the heat, the dogs have preferred to spend most of their time indoors with plenty of ice.  Even Taylor (below) has been enjoying it. She has really settled in nicely and continues to get along well with our dogs.  However we've had a few storms this week, and we discovered that she's very nervous during them. Experience has taught me that once dogs are her age, it's hard for them to get over their fear of storms, and so we do our best to find something that comforts them.  So far, we've not found what that "something" is for Taylor, but we will.

Last nights storm brought a little cooler start to the day and the dogs were quick to find a cat that had wandered onto our property.  They chased and treed it, but (thankfully) didn't injure it.  I could tell it was a young cat, and after I'd gotten the dogs back inside, I put a bowl of food next to the tree, figuring that it was probably hungry.  When I left for work, the cat and the food were both gone.

Other than the cat and the heat, it has been a quiet and uneventful week.  And I think we're all okay for that.

All of us except for Todd, of course. He patiently looks and waits for anything to happen.
