Heat Wave

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!

  1. Wow, what a heatwave. My Kirra would love to curl up alongside Freddie & Gloria outdoors.

    Although she may find Freddie's drooling a little distasteful (being a Princess) LOL.

    Enjoy the sunshine and snoozing outdoors you guys - you are wonderful.

  14. OMG 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!

    I love Mr. Walrus! Nothing makes me happier than little yard knick knacks :)

  15. Methinks "erratic" will be the new normal, weather-wise. Fortunately, dogs (and humans) are adaptable!

  30. Love 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!

  33. Wow 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?

    Great 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 :)

  34. My goodness! Watch out for that hotness. A little baking is fine, but then into the cool air conditioned house.

    I am always delighted to see a fellow slobberer.

  35. Good Evening!! For some reason, known only to Blogger, I've been having problems commenting on your Friday's post...Strange...

    But 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!!
