I am not a summer dog. I pant even in the dead of winter, so this summer stuff is not helpful.
Turn up the fans, Mom!!! – Love, Sofie Bear
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

So far, summer is ridiculously hot. You try wearing a fur coat all year. I hear even Alaska is burning up. Thank goodness for air conditioning. Stay cool, pups! Have a beautiful Black and White Sunday.

Year after year, the ducks return to teach their young how to swim in the river. Sofie wants to help, but they don’t appreciate it very much. Who taught you to swim?

My human sisters were very scared when Nigini showed up at the pool party. He sure is a good swimmer.

We hope that you have a wonderful holiday. Remember that many animals (and humans) are afraid of fireworks, so keep everyone indoors and safe.
PREPARE YOUR DOG FOR LOUD NOISES!
The 4th and 5th of July are the busiest days of the year for animal shelters and emergency vet clinics as frantic animals break in or out of houses and yards. Early preparation for the Fourth can save you and your pet a lot of grief. Here are some articles to help you prepare your dog.

That Stella Girl, she is such a talker. Talk talk talk talk. And when you go to leave her room, she grabs onto your ankle (it is pitiful) and asks you to please stay just a little bit longer.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Sofie gets so hot; I would too if I had to wear a fur coat in 100-degree weather. She always sleeps on the a/c floor grate or under the ceiling fan. Her big furry ears wiggle as the fan blows. Watch the video and count the twitches. Bark Out Loud, if that isn’t cute!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
