DEALING WITH A HEAT WAVE

Our average daytime temp this week has been 95 degrees and Heddy is not a very heat tolerant dog so I have been busy trying to find ways to keep her cool.

I saw what I thought would be a great new toy for her a toy that was supposed to float  “ The FLOATING FLAPPY” I figured it would be safe to throw out in the boat slip for her to retrieve and keep her swimming. So I ordered her one. It arrived yesterday and after work we headed down into the boat slip.

On the very first toss I realized we had a problem. The “Flottie” SANK …. BUT….. SO DID HEDDY…. She trotted into the water and just dove right in after it as if she had been doing it all her life.

SO I may not be able to toss the FLOATING FLAPPY out into the boat slip for her to retrieve but she sure is having fun with it in clear water.  I wonder how deep she would go if we had a swimming pool?

A Visit to the Beach

After spending TOO much time cooped up indoors we decided to try and find somewhere ANYWHERE that Heddy could run around and play!  So Friday afternoon when office hours ended we headed for Rehoboth and an afternoon at the Beach. I figured the sand would be one place not covered with SNOW!

Well I was almost right. most of the Beach was Snow free and Heddy got to chase a few Seagulls. But getting there was an adventure.  Most of the sidewalks were not cleared and the Boardwalk was covered with ICE and Snow three feet deep in some places.
