Ugh this heat!!!

[Lindsey]

Woohoo my prayers were answered! Last night my brother gave me another extra fan for my room (his room is in the basement... it's a little cooler and he has 2 fans but this one was too loud for him to sleep with), and then it dropped down to 14 degrees overnight! Today it's going to be a nice normal 24.
Believe me, I felt soooo bad leaving my dog at home and coming to work! Luckily we don't have carpet so the floors stay relatively cool. and she spent most of her time flat on the floor with her back against a wall. My ceiling fan and oscillating fan are both on all day in my room for her. She has an appointment on Saturday to get a short summer cut, so a little late, but who knows when it's gonna get really hot again! I've never had her in a short cut before and I'm kind of nervous!

Reuger has a short cut and I really like it better than the long hair. I shave him down to where it's not very long because I know that he has to be cooler and also, he doesn't get stickers in his hair as bad.

Hehehe that's funny you mention stickers... a couple days ago I woke up to Layla with electrical tape all down her tummy, and then last night I was sitting in bed reading Marley and Me when Layla jumped up with a little peice of masking tape on her head. This morning I put my hand out to pet her and she had masking tape on her chin! I don't even know where it comes from!! We also have a bunch of trees in our front yard that lose little seedling kinda things a lot and our whole front deck is covered in them. Whenever she goes out she picks those and leaves up in her fur and tracks them into the living room. For that reason I'm looking forward to a short cut!

Don't be nervous about having the dog groomed with a short cut. Gucci was shaved last week, and she looks adorable, they used number 4 & 5 if that helps. She is just perfect now for the heat.. They are such cute doggies don't worry, they will still be pretty. lol

If I can post a photo I will try later but I don't know how to resize.

I guess I'm nervous and excited at the same time! I really hope it turns out okay! I'm going to ask for it to be about 2 inches long for her whole body, and then still long on her head so I can keep putting a little ponytail in. It's taken over a year for her bangs to grow out long enough and there are still some that stick right out! I always get so worried over stuff like this and my roommate always says "What are you going to be like when you have KIDS??"

Lindsey,

Here's the eBay site for that cooling pad - they come in different sizes. I bought a smaller one. They're for pets, but work fine for people.

Hope it already cooled down and you don't need it anymore.
