Wordless Wednesday - Cooling Off Edition





The best thing to do on a hot day is to go sit on a sand bar in the stream!

How are you guys staying cool??

Love, Gizmo

    That looks pretty relaxing, but doesn't your butt get wrinkly from staying in the water? Be cool dear ones! And thanks for the honorary title!

    You do look refreshingly cool... how about sending me that sandbar when you're done with it. Oh, and I'll need the stream too.

    (overnight them if you can Gizmo cause it's supposed to be over 100 here the next couple of days... yeah, over 100 freakin' degrees AGAIN!)

    Living in New Zealand we have the opposite problem right now. It's nothing like hot enough to sit on a sandbar. But that sure does look like the perfect way to cool off:)

    Hi Gizmo, you look so cool in the water. The only water I have tried is my bath and I didn't like it. I hope I like swimming more. No worries, and love, Stella

    Hey Gizmo,

    The weather in Singapore is so hot and humid so the best way to stay cool is to soak my butt in a bucket of ice! Bliss!

    Love,

    K and R are SO jealous. That looks luxurious to a labrador!

    We've been feeling so bad for everyone in this heatwave. Because we live at such high elevation, it's never truly hot here. But, on the flip side, we have to endure -20 deg days in the winter. So, we get our bad days too!

    Boy that looks so cool!!! You are so good looking Gizmo.
    Yes a strange dog is going to invade Happy's happy home and poor girl she is stuck on the floor b/c she can't jump up any more. I worry about this big time. I surely hope every thing will go smooth. I also hope she is cute!! lol

    We've been going to the pond less this summer (mostly because it's a 2 mile walk to it, and -get this- it's too hot to walk there!!!), so we've been staring at a lot of pictures of us in mid-winter, and trying to visualize the cool! ;-)
