Dog days of summer are upon us

I came home from work at lunchtime today to walk Bella, but at 100 degrees, it is just too hot outside for her. We walked one block, then when we hit a shady patch, she lay down in the grass and refused to budge. 'Til I said, "Wanna go home?" Then she bounded to her feet and turned around, intent on reaching air-conditioned comfort as soon as possible.

Poor girl. Dave left on a road trip this morning and she will miss him. They are best friends. This morning, when he got up uncharacteristically early to pack, she became kind of agitated watching him. Even went upstairs to hide under the bed at one point. While he's gone, she'll have to spend more time in the crate than usual, and more time at doggy daycare, and more time with me. We will get along fine, but I know that when Dave gets home she will all but explode with joy at seeing him again.
