Me and heat don't mix.
But I do realize it is now summer, so I try to be "humbly grateful".
This arrangement, (above)
and 2 beautiful others were compliments of my young "golfer son",
Mark,
when he visited this past week.
When he left to head back to California,
the heat rolled into our place in the Mitten State.
And I went searching for any place cool.
Surprisingly,
I headed to our
DOG YARD.
The coolest place on our 40 acres.
Where the dogs enjoy some down time in the summer months.
Hawk, who hit the decade mark, having been born in our kennel.
Knik, aka "Wooten" a young Siberian, from "Iditarod racing stock".
Awatchy,
an Alaskan Husky,
one of our several
"going on 14-year olds"...
He's seen a lot of summers,
and has been here since he was a young puppy.
Note, his coat isn't quite "blown out", even with daily brushing.
Little Feet, an 8-year old Siberian.
Doug, one of the blue-eyed Siberians, also born here, comfy in his dirt hollow.
And
Malakai,
our young Siberian
showing his coat,
which has a way to go before being totally free from thick fur,
even with the daily brushing,
which he thoroughly enjoys.
Side bar: We have found with dog's coats, and with most everything else in life,
God knows best.
Please resist the urge to shave your dog.
It may give your vacuum a break, but your dog may suffer.

And little Skunk, who is now our house dog, learning her boundaries.
She's out of the kennel, but will be confined until we can be sure she will stay put.
But until then, she loves her daily walks on the trails, and nights in the cabin.
Until tomorrow, dear friends.
God willing.
Hopefully you are staying cool also.
Sherry
