More Dog Days

Hey Everybody !

You know it sure was a pretty day today but it was HOT ! Now yesterday, you heard me caution everybody about hot weather but I  didn't tell you another ouchy thing we go through kinda just like ya'll humans do. Please be aware of where you are walking us on our daily walks in the summer. I will assume that everybody goes on at least one walk a day or gets to really run and play in their fenced in yards with their humans.Now look, humans get to wear sneakers or flip flops what have you when ya'll are walkin' on black pavement. When you don't have on shoes, you move really fast and even invent some brand new dance steps. Personally, I think that's how most of the dancin' on those music videos get started but once again I digress. If the pavement is too hot for you it is too hot for us too.Just cause our paws may seem to be  kinda rough and leathery, they still have feeling in them. How hard would it be to look for a little shade for us both? If we can't find shade can we walk on a light colored sidewalk? Okay, that's just my quick reminder. Now for some fun stuff! Don't forget we love puppy Popsicles! You call 'em ice cubes but for us they are SO good on a hot summer day and you know that's a great way to keep us hydrated ( keep us from dryin' out).Other good treats are fresh peaches and frozen bananas too. See the bananas are a good source of somethin' they call potassium and that keeps us from gettin' muscle cramps just like they help you. I make it my personal habit to eat a half of a banana every mornin' with my dry kibble. It's kinda like you havin' fruit on your corn flakes.Okay, that's all for today because I have had a really busy day and need a nap before supper. Thinkin' on it I might need one after supper too. Hmmmm....I'm just a little black dog you know.
Take good care of each other and thanks for readin'
