Sizzle, Sizzle………..
I don’t have much to report for this installment of Monday Mischief.
The sizzling temperatures has kept the boys mostly confined to the comforts of the AC.
They can mostly be found keeping cool on the tile floor in the basement.
Or sucking up as much cool air as they can from the vents, leaving not much for the rest of us.
They are looking a little rough around the edges because it has been too hot to get them up on the grooming table and they are missing out on their nightly walks because the evening temps have not brought much relief at all.
We do have our evening playtime sessions, inside of course.
And I even made them some cute little ice cubes shaped like dog bones and paw prints from candy molds.
Fill the candy molds up with water and freeze.
They didn’t last very long and the boys didn’t seem overly impressed.
But……..they were cute and that’s what really matters.
The temps are suppose to get back to normal this week so I am hoping that we will be able to back to our normal routine.

July 9, 2012 at 11:29 pm (344 days ago)Leroy and I were able to get out for a walk tonight! It was so nice! It was a little too hot for Sherman to go though. Leroy tolerates the heat better than Sherman.

July 9, 2012 at 6:02 am (344 days ago)My mischief post is about the same as yours. lol Dawgs just laying around, (only I didn’t have any cute ice cubes). Can’t wait for Fall this year.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:30 pm (344 days ago)LOL, the cute ice cubes I think were more for me than them:)
Emma
July 9, 2012 at 7:04 am (344 days ago)We have been way too warm too but the heat finally broke a bit on the weekend – I learned to sleep right on top of an a/c vent – it may freeze my internal organs but it sure feels good! Stay cool! Emma
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:30 pm (344 days ago)The heat broke for us to yesterday….but I’m not sure how long it is going to be that way! Stay cool!

July 9, 2012 at 7:25 am (344 days ago)Can so relate to the heat wave. We finally had a break on Saturday. Oh was it lovely!
My dogs and everyone else’s dogs were wired and running around like crazy at the dog park that morning. I hope you all get out soon. It’s sad to think we are stuck inside all winter and now have to face being inside during the summer. Hang in there Sherman and Leroy!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:31 pm (344 days ago)I know! Although I think I actually spend more time outside in the winter now that I have that dogs then I do in the summer!

July 9, 2012 at 9:30 am (344 days ago)Much the same here, we have been cooking too. At least last night the temps were not too bad and we all had a decent walk. We are all hoping for some more relief from the sizzling heat.
The boys still look gorgeous to us.

Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:32 pm (344 days ago)Except for tonight I haven’t even been able to get the dogs out for a walk!
I hope you get some relief from the heat too! Bring on the snow!
Roxy the traveling dog
July 9, 2012 at 9:55 am (344 days ago)Ugh….we hate hot temperatures too. Thankfully it’s nice up here.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:32 pm (344 days ago)Lucky dogs!
Jodi
July 9, 2012 at 10:12 am (344 days ago)Poor puppies. I know I have been walking mine early in the mornings and eve then I am a dripping mess when I get home. Thankfully it is a bit cooler today so I hope to have an enjoyable walk tonight.
Keep cool!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:33 pm (344 days ago)Alright, I just pictured you dripping sweat!
Bassetmomma
July 9, 2012 at 10:31 am (344 days ago)It’s been hotter than heck here too! Sherman and Leroy definitely had the right idea. I think your ice cubes were so cute! Fred and Gloria have been going through lots of ice cubes but I’m sorry to say they are the boring square ones! LOL!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:34 pm (344 days ago)Thanks! We usually just have the normal ice cubes too. When my husband saw me making these he thought I was crazy!
snoopy@snoopysdogblog
July 9, 2012 at 10:44 am (344 days ago)Hey Guys,
I’m digging those ice cubes, I just get regular, boring ones here!! Doh!!
We’re lucky, cos even if it gets over 100F in the day we don’t get the humidity and it’s cool in the mornings and evenings, phew!
I guess the plus side for Leroy and Sherman is no grooming – Tee Hee
Wags to all,
Your pal Snoopy
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:34 pm (344 days ago)The humidity was horrible this weekend!
jan
July 9, 2012 at 10:51 am (344 days ago)When my dogs complain about the heat, I remind them that they are not Newfies with the heavy coats.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:35 pm (344 days ago)LMAO, that’s a good one!
Two French Bulldogs
July 9, 2012 at 10:54 am (344 days ago)You guys are smart hanging out on that cool floor.
Benny & Lily
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:35 pm (344 days ago)They are!
Nichole
July 9, 2012 at 10:57 am (344 days ago)Hey, where did you get that bone ice cube tray? We have a tiny one that came with Freezy Pups (http://www.lapdogcreations.com/2011/09/review-giveaway-freezy-pups-kit.html) but I love those big ones!
And we don’t have much either today… going to post now!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:36 pm (344 days ago)The mold is a candy mold that I bought from a local store. It’s for making chocolate but you can use for a lot of other things too!
Hawk aka BrownDog
July 9, 2012 at 12:01 pm (344 days ago)Hi Y’all,
If my Human had a bigger house we’d invite y’all to swelter in the mountains where sweltering is 80′s, normal is 70′s.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:36 pm (344 days ago)Awww, that’s a nice thought Hawk! Thanks!
houndstooth
July 9, 2012 at 12:34 pm (344 days ago)Yeah, Saturday was really miserable here. We were so glad for a break on Sunday! I’d almost forgotten what it was like to be outside without feeling like I would turn to ash.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:37 pm (344 days ago)Saturday was horrible! and we had a party too which made it even worse and the sir conditioner couldn’t keep up! I was a bit nervous!
caren gittleman
July 9, 2012 at 12:36 pm (344 days ago)those ice cubes are the CUTEST!!! Hasn’t this weather just been awful!!!???
It has finally cooled down in Michigan, bet it has there too!
I just subscribed again, hope it works this time!
xoxoxo
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:38 pm (344 days ago)Yes! Awful and awful! It has cooled down, at least for now!
sprinkles
July 9, 2012 at 2:28 pm (344 days ago)I feel their pain! It got up to 104* yesterday, supposed to be 106* today.
I saw those dog bone ice cubes on fb, they’re so cute! Doubt my dogs would be all that impressed either. I put regular ice cubes in their water sometimes and they don’t even seem to notice them.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:38 pm (344 days ago)OMD, that is hot!
Blueberry's human
July 9, 2012 at 3:14 pm (344 days ago)Oh dear – with those thick fur coats I can’t blame them for hijacking the vents! We had a little break in the weather last Wednesday, but we have heat warnings again and will probably continue on this path for many weeks. Stay chilly dogs and humans! Those ice cubes are so stinkin cute I do believe they probably provide extra coolness than regular ice cubes!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:39 pm (344 days ago)LOL! That’s what I told the boys when they looked at the ice cubes! Their extra chilly!
Amy@GoPetFriendly
July 9, 2012 at 4:35 pm (344 days ago)We’ve been staying with @ThisOneWildLife and their Newf, Shamus, was looking a little melted last week too. Fortunately we’re having cooler temperatures this week – I hope the same for you guys!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:40 pm (344 days ago)I have seen Shamus before on Kim’s site, he is so beautiful! I hope the cooler temps come in fast for him!
Jessica @ YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner
July 9, 2012 at 5:33 pm (344 days ago)At least their “mischief” wasn’t tearing up your house
I bet it is hot anywhere you go with all that fur.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:40 pm (344 days ago)You can say that again!
Sage
July 9, 2012 at 7:03 pm (344 days ago)They knew where the best place in the house was! Yay for floor vents.
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:41 pm (344 days ago)Double yay!
Julie
July 9, 2012 at 7:26 pm (344 days ago)It’s 85 in Portland, Oregon and THAT is too hot for Cali – we have the air on, and she is hogging all the cool air! Poor pups – I hope they get some cooler temps soon!
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:42 pm (344 days ago)I love how they think the air is just for them! The other day I was wondering why it felt so stuffy in the kitchen and then I noticed that it was because all the vents were covered bit dogs!
Colby
July 9, 2012 at 8:35 pm (344 days ago)Those bone shaped ice cubes are way too cute. I just found out that Apache loves ice. I’m going to try and get some of those candy molds and make a bowl of bone shaped ice cubes before Apache starts guide dog college. I hope it cools down out there for you guys.
Happy Monday!
Colby
Jen
July 9, 2012 at 11:43 pm (344 days ago)Thank you! Sherman likes ice more than Leroy, I don’t think Leroy gets ice:)
Kari
July 9, 2012 at 9:15 pm (344 days ago)we aren’t supposed to get below 110 this week
