  I went outside early to water the garden, and hung my heated throw rug on the line to dry. That was definietly enough outside for the day, although Mr Woof would prefer more. He will have to be content with walking himself around the garden if he wants outdoors time. Both he and Miss Meow are more tolerant of the heat than I am, they’ve both been voluntarily spending time outside.

    My little dog likes to bake on the porch mat. When he’s had enough he’ll stroll inside panting and weezing and then dramatically flop down in front of the fan. He’ll repeat that a few times a day.

      Same for mine. It’s kind of why those dog walking warning posts irk me. My dog knows what he wants and I respect his agency. He didn’t want to go out on the 40+ days but he’s keen to under 35. I’ve also got a bunch of farmers in the family with kelpies who do no give a fuck.

        I don’t even walk my dog when it’s summer. He follows me outside when I go to the letterbox, bins, clothes line. He does 360 laps around the house chasing birds and cats and flies and whatever else he wants to do several times a day.

        When it’s cooler weather we do walks around the neighbourhood and the park in the mornings.

        My old kelpie/heeler mix was immune to temperature extremes too. Activity of any sort was preferable to inactivity, regardless of temperature. The double coat helped of course.

      Mr Woof has been switching between lying on the grass (there is a little patch at the back that is mostly in shade), lying on the dog bed that’s just outside the window, or he sometimes just sits on the door mat looking in through the dog door. He doesn’t like clinking noises so he’ll generally self-evacuate to the back yard when I’m in the kitchen, but he’ll keep an eye on me and come back inside if I sit down.

      Miss Meow prefers lying on the concrete for some reason.

  We replaced the hair dryer heat with stickiness. Bring on Sunday’s 19 degrees.

    It’s muggy as well.
