Oh....hard summer life...

The past week has been HOT! Everyone - four-legged and two-legged  seem to seek the shade or other ways of cooling down....like spending time in and on the lake!!  Next door we have a beautiful lake and since Phoebe has always enjoyed swimming, we decided to buy her a swim-vest so that she can be more comfortable in the water...


She also enjoys sitting in the canoe and watching life float by...literally :-)

On the home front, our chubby boy Nexus has decided he needs to sweat off some of the kitten-fat.... ;-)
He has simply found a perfect spot to rest his chin.... In the safety of daylight and before he has his dinner, we let him out a couple of times per week so that he can run around on the lawn and explore the neighborhood.... It doesn't seem he goes very far, but he clearly enjoys his wider horizons :-)

On the mushing front, we are in R&R mode.  The dogs spending lazy days on the top of dog houses, and us humans enjoying the hot summer weather with a barbeque amongst friends!

Winter seems faaaaar away.....

Cool Phoebe. Cool place. Hot barbecue. Hot tub bath.
Howling dogs. Chatting friends. Cat silent but strong.

After a "hot" winter, we deserve a "cool" summer :-)
