Spring was fun while it lasted.. about two days

It was 97 (36) degrees yesterday when I went to hang with the Senior Dogs on the Ranch. Fortunately they built an overhanging shed that will house abandoned livestock in the future (donkeys and goats, etc).

For the moment it works as a shady area to take the dogs for a bit. The wind helped too. By the time I got back home I was absolutely exhausted, though. Being outside in that kind of heat with 20 MPH of wind is a bit tiring. But the puppies were happy to see me. I finally got a shot that captures, a bit, my favorite dog's spirit. Her name is Shadow and she is a sweetheart. She lives with a litter mate, Tommy. The two of they are together all day and I walk them together. Very different personalities but both are loving and if I did not have two dogs would be coming home with me.



I also walked a dog I'd not walked before. He is also a sweetheart. I'll need to work to get a better picture of him. His name is Tyson.




Today is a do nothing day.  Recuperate from yesterday.  Mail my son's birthday card today.  He turns 41 on Friday.

We've got wind warnings and fire watch warnings today.  Hopefully no one will be stupid enough to toss a cigarette out of a car around here.

Oh wow, quite a difference. What would you say is the cut off temp with walking the dogs?

Whatever I can bear, I suspect. The dogs live in an airconditioned environment so going out for a while won't bother them. And they need to go out for a little while no matter what. There is a low end, I know. Around freezing they told the volunteers not to come. But no discussion about high end. Yet.
