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. 

I saw a lot of people on our walk

 

Yesterday was a really sunny day, but it was cold. I didn't think Mom would want to go for much of a walk, but she surprised me! She bundled up in this long poofy coat with a hat and scarf and we headed out. We've been going back the old homestead lane lately. Mom likes it that she doesn't have to jump any creeks. She says if she'd slip off a rock, then her paws...er...feet would be really cold. 

Mom took a few videos and then today she edited them and put them all together. Humans like to learn new things all the time. So do I if a snackie is involved, but Mom just drinks more coffee. Not my thing.

We saw a lot of people on our walk, too. It was Sunday so Mom wasn't too surprised. She had to put me on the leash three times, not because I'm bad, but because I'm sort of a big dog and people are afraid of big dogs they don't know. I get it, but I'm glad those people know I can protect Mom if necessary. 

I hoped we'd go on a long walk again today, but Mom wasted a lot of time at the computer instead. She knows I'm more fun, but what's a guy to do? We went out for a few shorter strolls to the mailbox and around, but it's not the same as a good long walk. 

The videos Mom took are down below. I think her shadow looked funny, but then she had on a funny hat!
