For Lucky and Nate, I would have to have a pool which their nails could not penetrate...and rather a large pool at that, since both dogs are big. I use the hose and water them down...this seems to work for a bit.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-12460218268026300462009-08-05T21:07:33.527-07:002009-08-05T21:07:33.527-07:00Mruh,

I fill a kiddy pool and keep in in the backyard ion the afternoons in case my dogs Buddy and Terri want to cool off.Jessicahttp://www.safepaydayloan.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-88872439428822709372009-08-02T07:13:00.543-07:002009-08-02T07:13:00.543-07:00My dogs won't go in the water, either.

We almost lost him once...just as we were trying to find a boat to get him back, he turned back by himself. Scary, for a minute there! Today, a bath will be in order for the two of them...that might help.<br /><br />We've had some American friends visit when the weather has been hot...they can't believe it either. All of BC and Washington suffered through this heat wave. The interior of the province is always hot in summer. This time, an interior outflow wind brought those high interior temps. to the Coast, as well. Many records have been broken.<br /><br />I heard a forecaster for Weather Canada say the other day the weather has been strange...and changing weather patterns might be to blame. Perhaps. Maybe. Those weather guys never want to commit on that. <br /><br />But the extreme temps ( that cold front last Winter and the heat wave this summer)sure make me feel as if global warming is to blame. What else?Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-42989456840834597742009-08-01T15:33:05.251-07:002009-08-01T15:33:05.251-07:00The dogs might like the lake?
You can tell I like ...The dogs might like the lake?<br />You can tell I like to swim myself, but my dogs don't go near the pond except to drink. And one is a retriever! <br />I still can't believe that it gets that hot in Canada!!<br />Meanwhilst, we just had the second coolest July on record (since 18- something).

With all the fires burning in the province, it would be great to have some rain, but the forecast doesn't promise much!<br /><br />Goatman,<br /><br />I hear the Eastern part of Canada is not having a very good Summer. I imagine you would be getting their weather coming your way.<br /><br />75F sounds wonderful. I think the thermometer is stuck right there on the 40C degree mark! It is sooooo hot and so far, no relief in sight, except for afternoon Thunderstorms, which only create more fires near the interfaces of towns and cities.<br /><br />I wish these were my tomatoes, but mine are still green, although big and full of promise. Your way of making tomato sauce is similar to mine...right down to picking out the skins at a later date.<br /><br />Tomato season will begin about a month from now. Right now, I'm busy with the Saskatoon berries...they are very big this year, filled with juice. I tasted them last year and didn't like them at all. They were entirely different this year, just full of sweet goodness.<br /><br />My dogs have given up. They look up at me with sad eyes, wondering why I can't make things more comfortable for them in the heat.<br /><br />We do have the fan from the furnace, which helps some. It brings up the colder air from the crawl space. It's not perfect, but it does make the house more comfortable than it is outside.<br /><br />As Miruh said on my last post...we are being tested.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-85362983224595133592009-07-31T15:01:12.967-07:002009-07-31T15:01:12.967-07:00I had to convert your temperature to 104°F for it ...I had to convert your temperature to 104°F for it to register with me. That is hot even for someplace like Texas. We are getting cool fronts down from Canada, keeping us at a record cool July (75 °F or so) so it must be tolerable somewhere in central Canada.<br />I would be in that lake water in a New York minute (as they say). I suppose buying a small window air conditioner would be out of the question?<br /><br /><br />You have a nice batch of tomatoes there. When we have that many to deal with, I cut them up and put them into the slow-cooker pot overnight. Then after stirring and cooling put them into plastic quart containers and freeze. This is a handy size for making spaghetti sauce -- and it gives you the added benefit of having to remove all of the peeling pieces while it cooks giving you the chance to ponder the sauce and how much garlic and dill weed to put in. I guess you could blanch and remove the peelings beforehand, but I am lazy!!<br /><br />Our dogs dig shallow spots under the bushes near the house on the north side in which to keep cool.goatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317617928368945316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-17587229946482371672009-07-29T22:16:10.287-07:002009-07-29T22:16:10.287-07:00Hello Marion,
