Dog days of summer

It's been really hot around here- 95 degrees in the shade with a heat index of 107. Little smooshed-nose Tug doesn't do well in the heat but wants to be outside so much that Mama has taken him to a nearby paw park. Here's intelligence for you - they've put a child's wading pool in the small dog side!


The other day Tug was racing back and forth along the fence which separated him from the big dog side- he and a young German Shepard were playing!! Then, as the best way to cool a Boston is wet their feet, Mama put him in the wading pool. He stood there and then got out and played some more. Eventually, he went back and stood in it himself!! It must be he's hit his stride at age 2 or something since the little weenie is taking chances now. He put his paws in the ocean, he "plays" with other dogs...what's next for our baby???
