"Beti - Get Out Of That Sun!"

I don't know how many times I've had to call her in today! It's about 30 degrees here and the rest of us are hiding indoors. We have had dogs who love the heat before, Krizzie comes to mind, sunbathing in the Summer and camped in front of the fire in the Winter. Of course, Beti is not shut out and she's making choices, coming and going into the shade as she pleases, but on the hottest day of the year I do wish she'd stay out of the sun.

When the dogs are coming in at night, one of their large sprats is in everyone's bed ready for them. It's part of bedtime training as much as anything else, everyone learns from puppyhood to go straight to their own bed. Recently, I seemed regularly to be forgetting to put Orin's fish in his crate. I was quite confused as to how often I seem to have forgotten ... but then I saw what was happening. Beautiful Beti was coming in, grabbing Orin's fish on her way past and taking it in to her own crate to eat. So little miss has been having 2 fish at bedtime on a regular basis. Clever little cow. 

Talking of cows, Zeus is still refusing to go into the yard at night if they are about. I've no idea why he has such an issue with them, an issue that seems worse in fading lights. No one else here bats an eyelid, but if he won't go out, I know they are about. To be fair, he will go out if one of us goes with him, we even played ball at 10.30pm last night with "her" for company. 

I'm missing my walks, but missing a walk won't kill the dogs, whereas walking in this possess serious health risks to them and me. For those of you who love it, enjoy it!
