It's so hot the dogs were lifting their paws. That's a sure sign they need not have their pads on the hot ground. Watch your dog. Their pads and lifting will tell you a great deal. They will lift them in the dead of winter when too cold or snow is stuck between their pads (that's why you NEED to trim their pad hair always) and they will tell you when it is too hot.
We took Boo swimming as he will be going home. I have to get him bathed up so figured we would try him in the pool. He's a very strong swimmer. He swam and swam and swam.
When he wasn't swimming he was standing on the stairs staying cool. The stone is too hot. I tried to get many others in cause I am a glutton for punishment. But only the Boo was adventurous today. It's interesting to see who wants to swim and who doesn't.
I had to wash Fiona and Shoshi and figured I would get them in. Neither was interested. Fiona got washed. Shoshi is still on my to do list. I got some pool time for just me. I am trying to do this in case I am down for the count and doing pups 24/7 at least I had my time. I am also trying to rest my hand as its still doing me in. I can tell I am headed to trouble when I can hold something in it and half the time the brush falls out. It's time to rest.
But there was common sense in the crew today. Although they kept trying outside for size and 5 minutes later wanting to come in, they had wonderful play inside.
It isn't just these 2 but everyone. Now I have to groom up Brewer, Logan and Panda then wash Shoshi before I can say I am in great shape for pups coming.
Be sure to check out Steven and May's video. I want to be able to do that.
