It's hot so I got wet

It's really hot outside. Mom says we're having a heatwave and I can expect it to be like this for at least the next ten days. This is a problem ... why?

If there is one thing I know it's that Mom will take me down to the creek so I can cool off. And she'll take me twice a day.

And of course she had to take a video of me walking in the water. What the dog is up with all the videos lately? I'm looking at it from the perspective of it's just one more weird Mom-thing.

So here's a word of advice from little Deucie - if you want to stay cool, keep your paws wet. 

That's my plan and I'm sticking to it. 

And she did it anyway

Sometimes a guy just likes to sneak off in the middle of the day and snap a nap. Like today. Mom was canning cherries - BORING! Why won't she can steak? That would be so much better! Anyway, Mom was busy in the kitchen, so I put myself down for a nap. 

I always keep an ear tuned in on her when I nap. She has this nasty habit of sneaking out the patio door without me, so being a light sleeper, I listen. Well, I must have really dozed off because I rolled over and Mom was on the bed with me. And do you know what she asked me? Get this! She asked me what I was doing.

Seriously? Wasn't it obvious????????

Then to really be insulting, she tapped me on the shoulder. When I looked up to see what she wanted, she took my picture. 

She KNOWS I hate it when she does that. 

Lucky for me, I'm fast. I turned my face away in the nick of time. 

I bested her this time, but I know she'll get me next time. She knows how to be sneaky.
