Way too hot, especially in the nights. My son didn't bring my puppy grandson, Ted, up yesterday as he's been poorly and had the runs! - bad enough when he pees on the carpet. It could be the hot weather. My son and his girlfriend were going out to lunch at a friendly dogs allowed pub but they couldn't risk taking Ted. So, my poor son got to puppy sit Ted and his brother Billy while his girlfriend and her parents went - short end of the straw I think! They did take him a boxed meal back.

Its too hot for everyone here, Osiris is sheltering under shrubbery laying on the (probably cool) overgrown front lawn. I managed to mow the back law starting around 5:45 as the sun had gone round to the front. I'll do the front (sorry Osiris) tomorrow morning hopefully before the sun shifts from the back.
It doesn't help indoors as I've got the decorator in to do the main bedroom & en-suite. He started today, so I'm in the spare room which while a reasonable size it only has 1 window that opens as oppose to the 2 sides of the bay in the main bedroom which is very spacious so helps it feel cooler. Both face the same way so no difference there. Also to stop any cats destroying his good work the door to the main bedroom is shut so no through draught either although I've got the bathroom window open which faces the back of the house - useful as the sun shifts to the front around 2 pm so helps later but of course gets the morning sun.
It's still very warm indoors now (1 a.m.!)

5PM and it's 27.5 degrees. It's supposed to get hotter too. Poor Jasper is so lethargic, but the silly sod still lays in the doorway sunbathing. We now have a cooling mat for a door mat at the moment now.

This is when I'm lucky that I live in the north! Only 23 degrees here at the minute. Still too hot for me but much better than Saturday when it got up to 28 degrees. Does Jasper still lie in the doorway with the cooling mat cazypops? We have a cooling mat, but none of the dogs will lie on it when it's outside! Ellie chooses to lie in the small patch that gets full sun, then gets too hot.

Car dash today 31 all I done all.this day was wash the car in the shade cut the back lawn in the best shade I could get and sat in the shade of the trees with booms the rest of the day. Was just saying the twin cats need water more than food these nights poor things but they know the run of there places and as sure they can find heat in the winter that find shade these times

Cody and Pepper are both more sensible. Funny how some pets are sun worshippers orpheous87. My Maine Coons, Kiba-Khan and Kai Ruki are both sun worshippers.
