I just about died today. Eighty-something degrees in the shade... I was melting, there is no doubt that I'm a winter person.I cant wait for summer to be over. I think the dogs feel the same. They are doing their best to be on their good behavior but the few dogs that need to drop their coats have to take a few time outs from playing. Its too hot for them to have much fun.
I took Calypso, Juno and Ajax with me out to my first errand of the day before dropping them off back at home on my way to my second stop. They tried to stay cool but even though both dogs have dropped their coats it was still tough on them.
While I was stopped at the stop sign messing around with my wallet I see out of the corner of my eye a little butt disappear right out the jeep's passenger window. Calypso must have been thinking, "This is my stop, see ya!" I was shocked!
I called her name and she came over to the passenger door, called her again and she tried the drivers side. I opened the door, called her name and she popped back in as if nothing happened. Silly girl...
That was the extent of our excitement today, that and rearranging the yard to set Calypso up with her own pen since shes going into her first heat cycle. Shes not receptive yet but the boys are showing interest. I hate to put her up so she cant play with everyone else but I don't have much choice. In a few weeks everything will be back to normal.
Hopefully she will follow her fathers lineage and only have a heat cycle once a year. If shes planning to have it in the summer and goes the whole winter without one that will be perfect. She wont have to take any breaks in training if thats the case...
Work continues to consume my time but I'm doing some quick sketches for myself. Fun stuff that isn't stressful in the least. Its really nice to explore shapes, fur and dogs. I used to have so much more time to do this but lately time has been a major issue. This one posted here took about an hour...
