An end to THE DOG days of Summer

Today… the high is 80 degrees… right now it is 68 degrees …. And I love my life.

Oklahoma broke the "86 day record" of days over 100 degrees this summer!

We all hated the heat. The face melting heat… horrible, horrible heat… gates of Hell heat...

Today however is beautiful,  the mornings are chilly, and I'm getting excited about sweaters and leggings. No one dares to mention that they may be cold... or even chilly. It's perfect and we are thankful.

 Nate, Jack, Boone and I are so excited about the cooler weather we are finding any reason to be outside! 

Any reason... even if it means work... ... because we're not melting... because we're smiling... 

And I discovered something... 

If you take a Super Beagle with you to cut wood... you must tie them up... otherwise you will crawl under barbed wire fences, trespass on private property, and finally lift his fat @$$ over goat fencing.

You will have several minutes to think on things as you walk back to the wood pile... some of which are:

1.) How did Super Beagle get two pastures away in 3 minutes?

2.) How did Super Beagle get into a fenced area that is near impossible to get out of?

3.) What can you substitue in place of Worcestershire sauce in a recipie?

4.) How does barbed wire manage to jump out and grab an entire handful of hair without hands.

I discovered something else...

A Jack Dog will not run off while cutting wood... A Jack Dog will be so stuck up your rear-end that you will barely be able to pick up sticks without him jumping into your arms... SAAAAAVVVVEEEEE MMEEEE!

Now, Because you don't carry a stick of wood in one arm, and a heavily spoiled BullyBreed Jack in the other...he will ignore you and sit on Dad's lap all the way home. (which is something he NEVER does)  In fact he will look at you to make sure you are watching, and promptly go back to ignoring you...

just so he knows... you know... he's MADATCHU.

:)

I love 86 degree days and spoiled rotten dogs... and boys with chainsaws.

Oh, and fat beagle dogs are deceptively fast!
