We have been having quite the heat wave the past week here in Southwestern Ontario, breaking lots of records. The temperatures have climbed everyday. Yesterday was the hottest so far.
Our thermometer showed 35C in the sun. Thank goodness they write "HOT' on there in big capital letters or we'd never know it was hot! (heh,heh)
In the shade it was 27C.
I walked the hounds first thing in the morning before it got too hot. Then they did this the rest of the day.
Just laid around. yay! I hope I didn't sound too excited there. :)
We had some visitors.
A robin looking around for something to eat. And.......
.... Mr. Walrus showed up on the lawn trying to get some sun. Yay! He survived the winter.
Fred has just been a pool of drool.
But don't worry he just goes in the house and wipes it on an article of clothing he manages to swipe.
"Ahhhh! That feels better!"
I believe his choice this time was my nightie.
By this weekend the temperatures are supposed to drop to "normal" again. (a.k.a. cold!) I just hope my plants that have started growing can take it.
But for now I have turned our air conditioner on!
Wow, what a heatwave. My Kirra would love to curl up alongside Freddie & Gloria outdoors.
ReplyDeleteAlthough she may find Freddie's drooling a little distasteful (being a Princess) LOL.
Enjoy the sunshine and snoozing outdoors you guys - you are wonderful.
Crikey ..you have a heat wave we are 1F this morning and have a white frost everywhere!lol
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos. Stay cool!

We have had great weather here too, but we live by the lake which keeps it comfortable while everyone else is roasting!
ReplyDeleteIt's been warmer here too....but rainy.... Fred you have some cool shoestrings going on there....you and I should have a contest but for some reason I think I may win....like Beth says -- Slime flies when you're having fun! (and it REALLY does!) Enjoy your sunshine!
ReplyDeleteThat is warm for you - we have family that lives on denmans island in canada so I keep up with their weather on facebook :) We are in Texas and I dont think we even had a winter yet! Fred is already wearing his cooling coat on walks and I already break a sweat on our afternoon walks sigh.... I love the pink walrus toy.
ReplyDeleteThat is warm, or as the meter said, HOT. Good for you Fred-O-Roma for cleaning up after yourself. You were just trying to help out with taking care of the drool.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Looks like you are having the same weather as we are. It is supposed to turn cold for us again this weekend. I don't like it too hot, but admit I am now spoiled by this weather. Glad you could help Fred out with his drool. :)
ReplyDeleteDrool is cool! and isn't slobber suppose to be wiped on clothes and furniture and legs and walls? :)
ReplyDeleteThat sure is warm for you guys! You will be able to go swimming soon probably. Fred, would you like my Mom to make you a Bib? That might help your droolies.
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
Cool Drool Fred... and I guess you could USE the Cool pawt after lookin at the temperature. We are gonna cool back down this weekend too... butt isn't it glorious fur MARCH?
ReplyDeleteKaty and Bailey did some sun bathing and then moved on to the shady part of the yard. They aren't too crazy about the heat. Fred you really know how to enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteOMG the DROOL! My dogs have been doing A LOT of that in this heat. I didn't realize one was drooling over my flip flop and I ended up stepping into a big drool puddle. It was nasty!
ReplyDeleteI love Mr. Walrus! Nothing makes me happier than little yard knick knacks :)
Methinks "erratic" will be the new normal, weather-wise. Fortunately, dogs (and humans) are adaptable!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Mr. Walrus. I love how that toy keeps popping up. I don't envy you for the drool this summer hehe. The dogs look so cute laying out on their beds. How relaxing! They sure have it made ;)
ReplyDeleteYou guys look very content relaxing in the HOT sun. We think you better wet Mr Walrus down with some water
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
This summer will be brutal!
ReplyDeleteDachshund Nola
That's even warmer than Los Angeles!!
ReplyDeleteOh you poor souls! Sudden heat is SO hard - no adjustment time.
ReplyDeleteMr. Walrus looks very adventurous by the way.
Well uh...why did you leaves your nightie in da floor? So I would concur dat was yuor fault...bwhahahahaha! Yea okays anyways, I don't do HOT so I thankful your temperature reader told me.
ReplyDeletePuddles
That Freddie is one cool pool of drool!! I love Mr. Walrus and am glad he has been found.
ReplyDeleteI love your thermometer and wish I had the time to sit with your pups and Mr. Walrus and soak up the sun!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe're right with you on temperature. You're a good mommy...making sure Fred has something to wipe his drools on. Glad Mr. Walrus made it!
ReplyDeleteO hai! I like to sit on a fluffy blanket. Shirts sound fun, too. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay.... The drool pictures were kind of gross!! ;-]
ReplyDeleteNo warm sunshine around here.... We awoke to a light snowfall this morning!! Spring? Oh Spring....? Where are you....? ;-}
Aww! Fred AND his drool are welcome here anytime! He's too adorable!
ReplyDeleteStay cool, you guys!
The last three days have been high 20's here too! And we still have snow on the ground althought not as much as there was on Tuesday, LOL. Back to normal tomorrow. Beckett likes to wipe his face on my clothes while I am wearing them.
ReplyDeleteFred the drool makes you look like one of my students after an hour of lecture.
ReplyDeleteLove that pic of Fred's chin on your clothing! Such a heat wave - yikes! It's been nice here but not close even to 70, which I guess we are grateful for in March! Yes, hope your plants do ok!
ReplyDeleteXo Sammie and Avalon
Wow - we are in Louisiana and it's hotter there than it is here! Freddie - you should go chase the bird! Birds are the best.
ReplyDeleteThumper and Lightning
We left cold and snowy Montana to come back to warm and sunny Utah. Weird weather year.
ReplyDeleteWow you have got it hot there guys - I can't believe you can manage to sun bathe, it's just not an option for me with all this fur!! How hot does it get there in the Summer?
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet Mr Walrus - does he slobber too? I love that your Mum conveniently locates slobber clothes around the house for you guys - Tee Hee
Have a fun weekend,
Your pal Snoopy :)
My goodness! Watch out for that hotness. A little baking is fine, but then into the cool air conditioned house.
ReplyDeleteI am always delighted to see a fellow slobberer.
Slobbers,

Good Evening!! For some reason, known only to Blogger, I've been having problems commenting on your Friday's post...Strange...
ReplyDeleteBut I wanted to tell you CONGRATS on the award, and second, I love these awards because they tell us things about you that you may not tell us otherwise. I found that we have a few more things in common!!
Take care, I hope your weekend has been an enjoyable one!!
