Poor Sweets is dying of heat.  It is so hot here they are officially calling it a heat wave and it is not going to let up for days.  It is 43′C in the humidex (I think that’s “heat index” for you from the US).  That’s 109.4′F!!!!  I just looked it up for accuracy.  I can’t believe it.

Poor Sweets is due for a grooming as well.  I called yesterday thinking it would just be a couple of days but they don’t have a space for him until next Tuesday.  I feel so bad for him.  He’s spending 80% of his time laying on the kitchen floor because underneath that floor is concrete so it is cooler for him.  Fans don’t do anything for him, which I guess makes sense because dogs sweat throught their paws.  (Between them, I think).  Poor little guy can’t get any relief.

I’m going to invest in an air conditioner but I can guarantee they are all temp. sold out right now due to the heat wave.  I’m so getting one, though.  It wasn’t this hot last summer so I didn’t bother to get one.  Plan ahead, people, plan ahead.

Here are some photos of Sweets in desperate need of cooler weather and sympathy.  I’ve tried ice cubes but he isn’t interested in them.  I think I’ll put some p.b. in a Kong and freeze it.  I know that will interest him for sure.

I hope everyone on the east coast (Canada and the US) are keeping cool.  Not fun stuff.
