Word(y) Wednesday ~ July 19, 2017

~ Tails Around the Ranch

It may be Word(y) Wednesday, but it’s also washday, which means we’re off to visit patients today and tomorrow. The next couple of weeks are filled with all sorts of commitments and out of town visitors swinging by the Ranch, so posts may be somewhat sparse. Never fear, we’ll do our best to keep up on reading all of your posts and hopefully, we’ll be able to add a smile or two along the way. Stay cool sport’s fans. It’s 🔥 🔥 🔥 hot, hot, hot this week in the 303; how is it in your neck of the woods?

Live, love, bark! ❤︎

    Stay out of Elsa’s way. She gets ornery when she’s hot.

  2. tippysmom2 – I adopted a puppy in 2013 and it has been an adventure ever since. My Facebook friends love her stories, so thought I would share with others as well.
    tippysmom2 says:

    Tippy is NOT a fan of baths, so she is sending her heartfelt sympathies to Sam. LOL It is very hot here – in the 90’s and feeling like close to 100. We try to get our walks in before lunch and then chill in the air conditioning the rest of the day.

      It’s usually over 80 by 10 so we go early, early to avoid that heat. Black dogs really suffer in the dog days and Elsa spending a good time panting to cool off after our walks. Humidity was nearly 50% this morning-unheard of around here where it usually hovers in the teens to low twenty’s.

        Yes. Being a black dog is no fun, I imagine, when it is hot. I know Tippy just wants to spend most of the day in the house. We have high humidity too. That makes it miserable.

    I’m a sort of therapy cat for my peep, but not officially like yourself. And every day is a wash day here on account of it raining so much, and I do like a good wash before during and after I go to bed. Have a lovely and not too hot week, and hope your visits are are all wonderful.

  5. Hello there Miss Monika & Sam! I live in O-R-E-gon so I will try to send some cooler weather your way, ’cause it has been staying in the low “80s” here Mom says. We have overcast skies each day until lunchtime. Maybe Sam would go for a popsicle or ice cube to help cool off? Mew Mew!

      What a small world. My daughter just moved from Eugene. We love the PNW and will happily accept cooler weather and any extra rain you can spare. Thanks for swinging by the Ranch!

  6. BOL! Love this photo! So adorable!

    We finally got a little bit of rain today, broke the sun streak. We have some terrible forest fires right now in northern BC so hopefully the rain helps a bit because the sunshine and heat is supposed to be back for the rest of the week!

    Stay cool! 😉

      Ah yes, the ole beard shower. We used to have 2 Old English Sheepdogs, so I’m VERY familiar with those. Nothing quite like it, either! Gotta love those ‘red noses.’ Stay cool, Ruby.

  9. It’s even “hot” up here (we’re not used to it). It must have hit 80 today, and I wilted. I sure hope that it cools down for all of us!

    Very cute wash day photo!

  11. My Golden Life – Upstate South Carolina – I love animals, especially dogs. I enjoy US history, and reading biographies of our former presidents and other historical figures. I love the music of the '60s and '70s since I was growing up in those decades. I love the Beatles and Andy Williams equally.
    My Golden Life says:

    As my favorite New York radio dj used to say – “the three H’s: Hazy, Hot, and Humid.” All. Week. UGH! The only things I hate about summer. But, unlike my dogs, I love thunderstorms. I just hate how they effect the girls, especially Shadow. Oh well. Cést la víe.

We breed Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. We are both avid hunters. We also enjoy competing with our dogs in hunt tests and field trials. That is where you can find us during the trial months which are April-September. When were not at a trial we are busy training our dogs. We go snow goose hunting in Canada each year and do all the hunting that Wisconsin offers.

  16. It’s almost perfect here in our neck of the woods – maybe ever-so-slightly warmer and more humid than we would ideally want, but it’s so darn close, we really shouldn’t complain.
