DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

Most of my readers are from Alabama and can appreciate the fact that it's hot and it's supposed to be hot in mid-July. We just arrange our outdoor work to take place in early morning or late afternoon. But not only are us human's noticing the heat, but the crowd of Cargile Critters are too. Some of you know that the Cargile House is virtually a Humane Society. If an animal needs a home, they will eventually find their way to our house. So, with that being said, we have four dogs -- all larger than 50 pounds with our heaviest weighing 95 pounds. We have a nice backyard with plenty of "romping" room and they love to run around chasing each other. But not in this heat. They run out, do their business, and practically knock us over getting back into the house -- now that's hot people. So maybe that's why they call it the Dog Days of Summer. Let's take a lesson from them. Only do what we absolutely have to and NAP THE REST OF THE TIME. Have a great week.
