My new rescue dog.. Snoop 🐶

[Socks' Mum]

It's extremely hot here over the past two days , so the three of us are taking it easy. We are doing the jobs but then stopping for a while afterwards. Snoop is being very good, I think even he's finding it too hot we have to keep spraying water over the coop to try and make things more bearable for the chickens l love summer but this is getting a bit silly now. It's the animals I feel for, it's getting life threatening. I've found the chickens quite like a cucumber cut in half it's really refreshing if straight from the fridge.. they love it. My phone is showing a shower next week, I hope it happens. Ness

It's a big worry It's a relief that I am on holiday and can watch the pets. Yes, my piggies love cucumber I hope there will be rain soon

It seems to be a bit cooler today, hopefully snoop can have alot more outside time today we felt awful limiting his time outside but it was just too hot. He didn't understand of cause, so now it will be nice to just open the door and let him let off some energy Ness

Aw I bet he's happy to be leaping around outside again It's cooler and fresher here too, which is a relief! Still some sunshine though.

We actually had rain in the night... Yippee It wasn't alot so hasn't made much difference. The air seemed fresher which was nice snoop has enjoyed his early morning session on the bench, but now it's warming up again 24degrees so it looks like another warm day. It's so strange when you look around all the surrounding fields there's no animals anywhere because of the drought! Normally there would be cows, sheep and horses there's nothing. Can't put animals out when there's nothing to eat, how the farmers are going to cope having to use their winter food so early! I just don't know. It looks like snoop will have to have short visits outside again today, it looked so promising this morning Ness

It is very worrying. It is becoming an emergency

Snoop is enjoying the cooler weather he's been running around having lots of fun. He's not so impressed with having wet paws but it's been great to have some quite heavy showers during the day yesterday and last night let's face it it's really needed, I'm sure he'll get used to soggy paws Ness

 

[Socks' Mum]

It has made quite a difference So nice and fresh

Quite autumnal here - a bit cold at night even. Something in between would be nice Glad Snoop is having fun - it must be a bit of a surprise to him to have wet paws after all the heat and dryness this summer.

Snoop is having a lovely summer, he really likes the garden and would stay outside all day it was left to him. He really thinks we're being mean when we bring him indoors! At the moment he's sat by the gate waiting for the bin man that always brings him a biscuit ( he literally hasn't moved now for about half an hour) everyime he hears an engine his tail gives a gentle wag then stops as he realises it's not the bin man. I hope he comes soon for Snoops sake. Bless

Our bin man does the same! The first day Margot saw the bin lorry she got such a fright (she had only just started going out after her vaccinations) so the next time we were out and about at the same time as the bin lorry I sat with her quietly to watch it and she was actually fine. The bin man came and spoke to her and gave her a treat- I think he has a pocket full to make friends with all the dogs on his route... smart man!

Snoop is enjoying outside time now with this not so hot weather, it's still quite warm so he has to watched.we bring him in if we feel he needs a cool down time. I don't think he agrees with us but there's no harm in being careful I've been looking at him over lunch and I think it's time for another trim, so I think I'll get the grooming kit out and charge it up he's very good about it, he lets me trim bits off here and there all the time so I'm not for seeing a problem ( famous last word's) we'll see scrumptious snoop Ness

A trim in the garden for Snoop? I think he'd enjoy that
