Howdy! To add to the, "I hate summer", it's been so hard on my dog Chico who has congestive heart failure. He is struggling to breath and really has had me worried this week. I keep him in ice cold air conditioning but that brief moment he has to go outside to do his business wipes him out and takes forever to get his breath back again.
MerryCarey, we still love you for enjoying summer!

If I lived where you are at, I would enjoy it too!!!! =) Can I bring Chico with me for the summer to your house? He would probably feel better!!!
It has been an emotional roller coaster this week with my little doggy. I have taken him to the vet twice for his condition. We took him in Monday and the vet said all looks good considering what he is going through. I observed him all week and wasn't satisfied with what the vet said so we took him back Friday and the vet said he of course has a terminal heart condition but still holding his own and not critical. He didn't even charge me for the visit on Friday and he was swamped that day, he should have charged me double! lol. Bless his heart! I love the vet so this was no knock at his judgement, it was me being paranoid and unsure if Chico was really okay! The reassurance Friday was a help but I still worry of course.
