lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) It's just too flippin' hot for walking the mutts the last few days. Can't go out really early or late on 'cause of the kids, so the dogs have made due with lolling about in the garden. Got shot of the kids this morning tho (thank Christ half term is over!), so took the dogs for a swim in the Calder after a breif mooch in the feilds I love my bitch Took them for a gander at the sheep Then sent them in to cool off Fishing ..? Tried to leave her behind but she wasn't having it I love the summer and the drier weather, tis great for taking pics but otherwise .... it's all a bit boring innit? How's everybody else's dogs coping with the heat? Hope you're being careful about heat stroke etc Edited June 1, 2009 by lurchergrrl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolfe 2 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah i agree with those sentiments.......too hot in the day to take them far.......my rough coated fella does suffer a bit in the heat........but his coat comes in handy on cold frosty ferreting days. Sooner have it hot rather than wet and cold anyday though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 My hairy black beddy/whippet isn't a fan of the sun, but the little JRT bitch is a bugger to shift out of the sun when she's in a comfy spot. She's broken coated too, but she's a tart for the heat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SportingShooter 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 It is damn hot here today too, but its a welcome change! I think we get our fair share of rain in these parts and it will be good to go lamping tomorrow night without the sound of "Squelch, squelch, squelch" all the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebolt 4 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 always take mine to the river trent for a swim about 7 or 8 at night in the day they have to make do with a blow up padderling pool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I was in Wales visiting family at the weekend, the air con and frequent stops did the trick for the dogs. Walked the dogs at 6am by 9am it was too hot for them. How do the sheep manage? lol The sun doesn't really effect me, but my partner has alot of skin cancer running on her side of the family. Its a little depressing coming back to flat land Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Where abouts were you Artic, looks like jolly nice weather you had! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 SS, yes it was lovely! My wifes uncle lives in Penrhyndeudraeth, lovely place. I had to go on the Ffestiniog railway. Its so amazing at any time of the year. My wifes uncle work's on the railway, "keeping it alive as they say" and too right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Nice pics artic!! I'm off to Wales with the kids and dogs in July for a little break, well looking forward to it. Not as posh as that place but it'll do for me @ LL .... I like the summer but I don't like super hot. Summers where I grew up where disgustingly hot which totally doesn't suit me, but summers here are ok. Being out with the dogs isn't quite so interesting as it is in winter, but there's a lot less mud on my floors this time of year I just keep hearing about people's dogs suffering heat stroke, so I only let them have shorter walks which isn't nearly as much fun. Keano, not really sure what the spot is called, it's on the Calder near Gawthorpe tho. Not a bad spot, but rife with bloody nettles! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Scuba1 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 If the weather stays like this for a few more days, I will be able to turn the heating off. ATB Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
