Too Hot

Here is a mini gallery.

We got some better news. Our new air conditioner will be installed on Friday. It takes a full day for installation. The original date was the 15th, which felt excruciatingly difficult. Until today, it has been managable (it is hot today) but we have ice filled water dishes, cold frozen towels and cooling mats and the dogs are doing really well. By Saturday night, we will be dancing but what an expensive investment that you can't do without. Air conditioners are very expensive now as 95% come from the states and many didn't order thinking the tarrifs would go away but they didn't so pray yours doesn't go out. 

Due to this expense, we may not open the pool this year as we can't replace that air conditioner as well as the pool heaters are the same price - about the same price as the air conditioner. I am trying to take that in as it is truly my holiday but it is also life and one can't whine, can we. But to have air is a blessing, imho. You don't know what its like till you don't have. So poor we will be but comfortable we and the dogs will be and that is truly what counts. I thank everyone for the use of the fans. After Saturday, we will attempt to deliver them back to you. 

I made chicken flavoured treats for the dogs. They ADORED them. You should try. It is chicken broth frozen that we gave them outdoors then hosed down the deck as they do get a tad sticky on your shoes or feet. I will make then again as they were that loved. 

Our visiting Morkie is really doing well. He has adapted and has made huge strides in the socialization department. I hope he visits every now and then to build up his confidence. He is really a nice dog and enjoys the other dogs. He is thriving with the dogs. It makes me happy.

Hope all of you are having a good day!
