Secret City Festival - aka Hot as HE double L

We went to the Secret City Festival today - it was about one thousand degress with humidity to match - I met this crazy little Jack Russel/Rat Terrier Mix - he was very cute - but NUTS

I had to back away from him so he would chill out - where he found the energy in this heat is totally beyond me

We didn't stay long it was just too darn hot - it was so hot that if there wasn't grass daddy carried me because he didn't want me to put my little paws on the steaming pavement!

finally - home in the cool with mommy - mom said don't get used to pics of her - this is the last one - you can see Livy's Lemonade sign behind her - it's even too hot to sell lemonade -
tomorrow they're going to lavendar festival - I think I'm staying home!

  6. Checkers, I have a dog in my block that looks just like that dog that was barking at you. Her name is Bridget and she always tries to bite me. My Dad had to go talk to her Dad and tell her to leave me alone, so be careful. I love the picture with you and your Mom, I love to snuggle in with my Mom just the same way. Moms are great. I don't like when its hot either, so drink lots of water, I sent you a squirt gun on facebook, it might help.

    licks and sniffs, Sasha

  7. Hi Checkers,

    Just so you'll know, the nutty side of the JRT/RT mix, is the JRT. Those poor doggies have no OFF switch.
    It's like they are on drugs 24/7/365. They need to be in rehab. Seriously.

    I'm sorry the heat ruined your outing. It has been warm and humid here too. Mom is talking about buying us a little wading pool.

  9. Checkers you look bushed in that last picture. It's hot here too, Mugsey usually stays out in the evening but he wanted in today, the air conditioning is on!! Good of your daddy to carry you, Dispatch tries to get his Daddy to carry him everywhere but mama usually ends up doing it!

  10. Checkers and your Mommy, thank you for the warning about tomatoes. Mom wants you to know that, first, she would have never let me have it, I found it on my own and then I only got a couple of licks. My sister took it away before I could get anymore. Mom is real strict about my diet and I feel fine. You are a true pal. I hope you get a yogurt drop.

    licks and sniffs, Sasha

    Mommy wishes she could go to the Lavender Festivel with your folks. It would be nicew if she could go with them and I could stay with you and play all day!!

    Your Mommy is very pretty and with her holding you itaht makes for a great pic.

    It was 96 here yesterday and Mommy hates the heat.

  13. Hi Checkers.
    What a nice daddy you have to carry you so you do not get your little footies on the hot pavement. I don't do heat at all-- no way. So I understand your feelings about the hotness. I would vote for staying home too, but lavender is so pretty.
    love
