What kind of weather is this?????

A heat wave????

Yes it is!

And do we like this wonderful hot weather????

No we don’t!!!

Zanna had such a thick coat that I had to totally shave her so she could survive. Bit of a shame cos she is so much cuter with long curls. Now she is a happy “leggy” girl. I always have to laugh when they have short coats. Their legs seem so much longer.

Tieka has a half long coat at the moment so that is ok for this weather and she is the best looking of the family at the moment. I’m glad to say that she has recovered wonderfully from her litter of pups. She lost a lot of her fur then but vets all said this was hormonal and nothing to worry about, but I never the less I did worry.

Flecha the Estrela is so wonderful with this weather. He doesn’t get funny ideas in his head to act like a typical Estrela. He stays so much more closer as its too hot to run away far. Haha, aren’t I a mean owner. I sometimes wondered if it would be a good idea to feed him lots so he would become big and fat and he wouldn’t have the energy to take off. But I guess I like him naughty so he isn’t spoilt with food and is really quite an active boy for such a large middle aged dog.

I like my work very much. But since this heat wave I LOVE my work. They have air-conditioning!!! The person who invented that should receive a medial!

So with all this warm weather I haven’t much news…. We all just lay around the house doing as little as possible. And in between the laying around we do quick necessary walks to relieve bladders and bowels and rush back home. In the mornings we actually do have a decent walk in the bush. I don’t let them swim in ponds as there are warnings of “blue algae”. Pity as a good swim would relieve them some what in this heat.

Typical, when you need something it is forbidden….
