Let There Be Air

DateFriday, June 5, 2026 at 4:41PM

Here is the gallery.

This is Ms. Katie. She is enjoying the visit.

Our air just finally was installed at 4pm. It took all day. We still have fans over vents trying to push the cooler air around. I will return the fans after the house cools down. Just let me know where to deliver in email. It was so appreciated and to be honest, it has been brutal but we went downstairs a lot as it was cooler and now I can groom as I do not have to deal with dryers making the house hotter. I sprayed dogs to cool down and put out cooling mats which they hoarded but we are down to 86f in the house already and that is a significant difference. We are hoping 70s by tomorrow and we will return the fans. We really couldn't have done these past 2 weeks without them. 

Katie and Trigger was caught hoarding the vents. LOL Can you blame them but they are already not doing so. 

We played games in the house. I was rather crabby as days of this heat has been much and sleep not great. I would sleep 2 hours, change the cooling pads and take a shower. My watch said I had 4 hours sleep last night. I wish the dogs had a watch on them to tell me how much they slept but they nap here and there so they play catch-up. 

One dog peed on the carpet downstairs so I gave been busy using our carpet spotting machine. We have no rugs except a part of the basement and the front door. 

The dogs are eating and Nathan gave them a veal bone. That is a coveted thing here.
