Unbelievably hot today. I walked the dogs early this morning, right after morning rush hour - I have to walk them down the main road to get to a safer place to walk them. It was so early the mosquitos weren't quite done with their own morning rush hour.
I think the dogs still got heatstroke. It was hotter than hell.
Tonight I went a little light on their raw food for dinner, and added yogurt. It seemed kind of like dog ice cream. Now Alice is eating grass compulsively. Sigh. Maybe the dairy is not a good choice when it's so hot out. Now they're lying around in the house being miserable. Sigh. Me, too.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be even hotter. I don't know if I'll walk them at all.
Days like this remind me of when I was working as a farmhand in the desert on the Egyptian border. One night, sitting around the camp fire, there were a couple of new girls from Zimbabwe. The Israeli guy turns to them and says, "It's hot today." Yes, they agreed, it was. A few minutes later he repeated, "It's hot today." Turns out that was all the English he knew.
It's hot today.
