High Temperatures & High Walks

 

 

 

 

Doggy Paddling!

We've been doggies too hotty indeed for the past week and a bit. Continuing temperatures of 24-26 degrees is not that comfortable for a mostly black with a little white canine creature! We've had a few days in the park, lazing under a tree instead of running about daft. My silly brother just pants constantly and looks like he doesn't know where to put himself....  but me, clever little Finn, I lie with my white tummy towards the sun and that keeps me a tiny bit cooler. Failing that a big muddy puddle normally cools us down, but even they've dried up!
Miss Mel has been taking us to the beach a lot too, later in the afternoons when its still warm but not the midday scortching heat. I think its purely so she can jump in the sea to cool down, but we don't complain... we love our beach walks & swimming in the waves.

 

 

Doggy Bathtime

Not happy in the slightest!.... Funny how water in the river or at the seaside is so much fun but stick us in the bath for a wash and its like some sort of torture! But after rolling in fox poo the musky smelly aroma was a worse torture. While Mr Finn was, on the whole unhappy but co-operative, Drifty boy sat in his bed in the corner, facing the wall and grumbling away to himself.... and when it came to his turn... his agenda was to make himself a wide as possible, legs in all directions so as not to fit in the bath! Eventually, half an hour of gentle doggy shampoo and warm showering, 2 clean & fresh smelling dogs emerge.

 

Meadow Mutts!

Where's Drifty?

Fastest Dogs in the West!

Sunny Seaside

Well we are a couple of spoiled pups...another afternoon at our most favourite of places... THE BEACH!! Although a different beach from the usual and joined by one of our doggy pals, Tam. Having said that Tam is not overly enamoured with other 4-legged friends and is at his happiest when we just ignore him! So we shared a walk, run and swim without actually acknowledging he was even there... best policy for a confrontation free fun-filled day!
