I kind of look forward to when we bring out the floor fans as the temperatures rise because Honey likes to situate herself in front of one to cool off. She’ll roll from one side to the other, sometimes going straight onto her back to make sure her tummy gets optimal cooling coverage.

Since she’s a rescue I’m not sure if this is something she’s always done or if it’s something she’s only figured out since she’s been with us, but I think it’s one of the cutest things ever and can’t help but harass her with tummy rubs when she’s got it bared for all.

Have your pets figured out ways to keep themselves cool during the summer months?

The Dog Days of Early Summer

In addition to the fly problem, we are letting out all of the cool air that our energy efficient home works so hard to retain. I finally refused to turn on the air conditioner, just to cool all of the high desert. We are now sweating it out in an 82 degree house, all because my kids refuse to remember to shut the door. Yes, I suppose I could make them do the “open and close the door twenty times” activity, but then I would be doing that all day long. That activity works fine for a family with one or two kids, but seven? Not gonna happen. I seriously need to come up with a way for my kids to get the message that the door needs to stay closed at all times. Marye, I could really use your help, here!
