I have been thinking so much about Squirt and Tink
(along with other outdoor animals), I pray they are
OK.
Since Schaudeh goes everywhere with me, because of an
incident, I haven't gone anywhere because of the heat and
it is too hot for her. She goes out does her business and
right back in. I hope people are not walking their dogs on
the roads or sidewalks in this heat, or even walking them.
AGAIN EVERYONE TAKE CARE, WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE
BAD NEWS.

The windows were down about two inches on the left side only.
OK so this angered me & my Mom,wrote the license plate number down went into the store,thought I would call these people out. (Dumba$$'$)There are only four check out lanes,so I stood in front of them all and started asking? Those people said no it was'nt them.
I gave the clerk the license plate number,make of the car etc... then she went over the store intercom and called the the owners to the front of the store.
While she did that I went back to my car where my mom and I waited till someone came out and they did just as I finished getting back into my car.
We feel we did our duty or justice for the day.
Show them you l ve them by leaving them home.
The good Lord gave pi$$ ants more brains!!!
On a lighter note,Our digital thermometer is on the north side of the house and yesterday it read 101' degrees in the shade . Now as I type this post it reads 90'.
Yes, were also waiting patiently for the cold front to move threw.
Thankful and greatful that we have air conditioning and our house is built into the side of a hill.

My poor chickens are walking around panting and have their wings puffed out...so, I put them in the cooler barn. At nite, I put them back outside with a turbo fan on them while they roost. Dodger, the big white bunny in my avatar is around 12 yrs old and simply cannot tolerate this heat. I put him in the barn with frozen pop bottles filled with ice and a turbo fan on him and he seems to be fairing the best of them all. In his younger days, he and his girlfriend Juney used to burrow huge, deep holes and hide in them for days when it got hot. Now he's just too old and arthritic to do that kind of heavy work. He hates being in the house and caged, so this is the best I can offer. But, I do wonder how wild animals do....I hope OK. Don't feel one bit sorry for Brinks and Chyna....they spent their past 2 days at the lake, wading at the sand bar and eating handouts from friendly boaters .
Cheryl, I found a dead opposum in my window well today.....I know Brinks did it because I had a hard time getting him to come inside the other nite . I'm glad it's an opposum and not a rat though.....ewwwwwww.

Every time I let Rudy out to go, he stretches out in the sun like he's on a tropical beach somewhere. I give him ten minutes & then force him in. I love the heat but this is too much!
Darcy and Rudy must be related. When it was sooo hot, Darcy would go lay in the sun. She just had to cook her old bones.
Oh boy do I know, Hunter would just bake in the sun, I would have to
make him come in, he would just be in his glory.

Dobes and Feathers, you did the right thing....I do it all the time and don't feel one bit bad about it! Be a voice for the voiceless (who happen to be owned by idiots).

We grow raspberries, blackberries and wine grapes. We have been running the irrigation system every night. After all, fruit is mostly water. We have a pond that we draw from to irrigate the crops. As a consequence of pumping thousands of gallons of water per night, the water level in the pond has dropped precipitously. Because of that, the fish are concentrated in a smaller volume of water and the oxygen level is depleted -- plus the algae bloom and the waste concentration from the fish. They all died. A poor deer, unbeknownst to us, tried to go down to get water, but became stuck in the muck and died. This weather pattern is making the nocturnal animals come out during the day in search of water. I saw a mother racoon and her 3 babies going through the pasture around 9:00 AM earlier in the week.
I feel for all the outside animals, and the owners who have no sense and take their dogs in the car with them, or worse, tie them out in the yard. Makes my blood boil. Good for you, Beverly & Angela, for calling out the owner in the grocery store.
Sugar and Hoss are managing. We have a 150-year-old farmhouse, with no air-conditioning. We've lost power four times since Fourth of July. I close everything up around 8:30 AM, and turn on the ceiling fans and the floor fans. Sugar is doing OK; Hoss is having a terrible time. Sugar stays out in the yard almost the whole night. Karen, she killed a possum the other night, too!!
We finally had rain today. However, the forecast, starting this coming Saturday, is back in the 90s for the next week to 10 days. Everyone take care. Let's hope somehow, some way, this system moves elsewhere.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated ... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.

I feel bad for all the animals too, the poor deer walking through here look like each step is a challenge for them.
Today we are getting some rain, not enough to catch things up, but will take what we can get.

I have a lot of coyotes in my woods, although I have
not heard or seen them lately. I know they are there,
when I take Schaudeh out she looks back towards the
woods and acts very timid, it is fenced but that won't
stop a coyote. The deer I LOVE especially the little ones,
those eyes, ears and long legs, I love deer.
I keep my bird baths full and I put out a kiddie pool way
on the other side of the house for whatever needs a drink.
I only pray that people use "common sense" (??)
for their pets in the heat as well as farm animals.
