The Dog Days of Summer

Summer in Texas is always HOT! This year is no exception with 100+ degrees hitting the thermometer every day. And poor Prince Pippen just loves being outside, even with all that fur!

While at my parents house at the lake, we are outside alot and Pippen kept trying to "swim" in his water bowl. We didn't have a doggie pool for him so the next closest thing we could find for him was a roasting pan. He LOVED it!!
He became our summer "roasting turkey". He was SO happy with his "pool" that on a a return visit this summer, he knew exactly what to do when he got hot. Momma's got to buy him a swimming pool next year.


You just gotta love him!!

When I was growing up we had a Scottie, his name was Waga MacScott. And you are right - He owned us! Our little fellow was strickly a family dog. One day he hopped up on the couch between my sister and her fiance (a vet student) pretened to be nice, and sowly and methodically bit him after Mr. Vet petted him. We forewarned him, but afterall he was the vet student. I think he took it peesonally.

We are hot here in the Atlanta.Ga. area, but we have not hit the 100's. Not yet.

Stay cool.

Oh, goodness, Pippin looks so cute in his roasting pan! Hilarious. I'll have to try that for my scotty, Maggie. We've had some hot 100 degree days here in Califoria as well. Her favorite spot to nap when it's hot is under my bed. That's where I look when I can't find her.

Love me some Scotties!!!

That's too funny and too stinkin' cute!
I'll tell you what, our little pig-dog wouldn't survive summers without her kiddie "piggy" pool. Getting her out of it is the hard part.

So cute! We have a pool and all 4 Scotties want in. They sit on the step and let their skirts flow in the water. Gus, Gracious, Barkley and Maizie. The water pups.
