Determined Doggy

Ugh... The weatherpeeps were right... It has been REALLY hot here... The peeps say WAY hotter than it usually is this time of the year... And REALLY humid. We aren't coping with the humidity, it's usually very dry hear. We don't understand how peeps (and their pups) can live in humid places... But, we haven't melted yet (as much as we feel like we might!)

I've been keeping cool by doing lots of this...


And this...


I;ve also been paddling in my blue pool. I heart my pool.

In fact, my peeps reckon I might be a little obsessed with it. I don't know what might have given them that idea...

Okay... Maybe I do. It might have been what I did yesterday when he went outside to refresh the water before they abandoned us went to work.

For some reason he didn't want Floyd or I to help him with the pool... I can't think why, I'm very helpful. Anyway, when he went outside, he locked Floyd and I in. I sat at the door, whining politely asking her to let us out. But she just continued getting reading for work to abandon us.

This was when I decided to make my escape go an help him anyway.

I jumped up on the lounge and across onto the drawers...

My escape route
Once I was on the drawers, I was high enough to forced the screen out the window carefully opened the window and jump outside onto the BBQ.


Then I hopped down and went to help.

I don't really think this shows I'm obsessed with the pool, I think it shows just how DETERMINED I was to be HELPFUL.

Anyway, after they had a bit of a laugh (and fixed the window) they went off to work abandoned us like they always do, and I went to paddle in the pool. This is what the water looked like when they got home.


It is a bit cooler today, and will keep cooling down for the next few days, thank dogness, I think I really would have melted if it hadn't!

  4. Bahaha, I love it!! Ingenious Dougall!! :-D They should have just let you out to enjoy the pool, their fault really! Nice fan work too, I get a little scared of the fan noises, but if it was super duper hot, I'd deal!

  10. WOW BUDDY... You Really DID want to be helpful. I am SURE that they totally appreciated the fact.

    I think your pool looks GRRRRRREAT. Just how it SHOULD after a long day of... HOT and HARD Yard Work.

  12. Don't ask me why, but I won't go into a pool at all-even when it reaches 47 in the summer. It would be unbearable if the humidity were higher than the 5% it usually is. Today is no problem, 20

  13. Dougall you are very funny and I love your determination getting out of the house. You are very clever. Did you need a bath after all that pool paddling??

  14. You should be commended for being so resourceful, most dogs wouldn't work that hard to help out.

    We live in Michigan USA & we have tons of humidity all summer long. It's no fun for sure!

  22. A mud pack! Good for the skin and keeps you cooler than plain water. Are you telling me the peeps didn't appreciate?

  23. There is nothing better on a hot day than to spread yourself out before a fan. Never tried a mud pack though, might have to give it a whirl.

  24. Well look at you go!!!! "Determined" might be a wee bit of an understatement, my friend :)

  25. Ahahaha - you are a genius for finding a way out so you could help!

    Good job on mucking up that pool! :)

  26. BOL! What an escape artist you are :) That sure is some resourcefulness, Dougall! Good thing Somedoggy didn't try to follow you- or that screen wouldn't have been such an easy fix!
