Dog Days Of Summer

Well lately I've been obsessing over euchre. I was in an online league but when I went to play, I found I had been deleted. That's what happens to inactive players, and it had been at least a year since I made an appearance. So I joined up again, and have been at it night and day. The novelty will wear off again I'm sure.

I've been reading up a storm too. I recently finished two Sidney Sheldon books and am currently reading a Joy Fielding book. Of course all the titles escape me right now, and I'm too lazy to run upstairs to have a look.

It is sizzling hot outside. Has been for a few days, after a ton of rain. That's the forecast all week, HOT. A couple of years ago, we bought a little plastic pool for Bear. I figured he must get awfully hot sometimes with a black fur coat on. He wants no part of it. If I put his toy in it, he will step in, grab is toy, and run. He doesn't want to get wet. Silly dog. The other day I put Eddie in it to see how he would like it. Well, he LOVED it. I couldn't get him out of it. He was soaked to the bone and shivering, but would not get out of the pool. I had to move his tether away from it so he couldn't reach it, to let him dry out. So here's Eddie having a blast in the pool...

And there's nothing else to say. Things have been pretty quiet around here, boring as hell even. The dog days of summer.
