eve Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Sorry, haven't kept up. I am frying here at 32C and meant to be 36C tomorrow. I think I might actually melt. I want to be back in Scotland where I can cope with the temperature. Remind me of that in November when I'm complaining about the cold, wet weather lol. Glad you're feeling a bit more positive Suzeanna, you're always in my thoughts. I wish I could help. Hope your finger heals quickly Jazz. Sounds a good plan for the rail Yantan. Sending good thoughts to all. Will try and keep more up to date xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ruby took Archie down to the park after tea so he could have a paddle. All he did was run, yes run, round like an idiot and he refused to go in the river. 15 going on 2 and-a-half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 It's meant to be 31 here tomorrow..and then storms and heavy rain likely for Friday. Don't know what's worse, last time we had prolonged heavy rain we ended up having to get the fire brigade to pump water out of the gardens, and our conservatory and kitchen were flooded! Thanks Eve, I'm feeling much better today. Must be all the good wishes floating through the internet! Candy won't go in the paddling pool I got her, won't go in the brook which runs through a little park just up the road...she'll splash through puddles though and she did go in the sea. We've noticed part of her nose looks very dry and hard and now it's peeling, do you think she could have burned it when we were on the beach and she was digging in the sand, or should I take her to the vet? doesn't seem to bother her at all.

griff Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 She could have burnt it, do you think vaseline could help? You know like after we have a cold and our nose is all dry and sore?? Eve, sorry you aren't enjoying the heat..I am! Hope you get your rain owl so there's less watering for you to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Agree with Griff re Vaseline for Candy, or Sudocrem - that's my cure for all ills, skin wise. Griff I like heat but this is just stifling. No air at all, feels like we're suffocating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted July 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 its worse here today, far too ruddy hot rosie is home. doesnt want any food, but her ad is up for rehoming. luna is so good at looking after the fosters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I would use coconut oil for a dry nose, not vaseline or sudocrem in case she licks it. Vaseline especially not good to lick as containing petroleum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Will be nice when new patio is in and new path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Who are you going to bury under the patio Griff? Archie and I are staying put today because it's gone hot and there are far too many people around. I see on Twitter and Instagram that lots of professional dog walkers are cancelling walks through the day and calling very early for some dogs and doing just comfort calls for others. Very sensible and its good to see them putting the dogs' welfare before profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Lol...at this rate both lots of neighbours!! I hated having to take my 2out in the heat yesterday but if they wanted the loo...had to be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I did put some Sudocrem on her nose..not easy, she doesn't like her head handled..and she promptly rubbed it off on the duvet cover! I do have some coconut oil, I'll give that a go. Cloudy here with the sun only coming through now and again, so not as hot as I'd anticipated. I took Candy to the field at about 7.40 and she went tearing up to two jrt's whose owner was working on his allotment and was actually playing with the younger one, play bows and everything. First time I've seen her play with another dog, she either ignores them or tries to get away from them. If I had more certainty about future events I'd get another little dog for her as a pal but since if I kick the bucket before Philip gets to retirement age she'll have to be rehomed it wouldn't be sensible to have two of them.

griff Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Suzeanna... you are like me, too stubborn to give in so will be around for agggeeess yet!! Do you think maybe you could ask the man if he is up there regularly would it be possible to let the dogs have a play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Good idea Griff, he's there most days. Have you heard of the MP Dennis Skinner? The Beast of Bolsover? This bloke is his brother, but seems quieter! I take back what I said about it not feeling so hot, just went outside to get the washing in and it was like walking into a furnace, and the washing was so hot you'd have thought it had just come out of the tumble dryer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I think Dennis Skinner is a hoot in Parliament. He's not afraid to voice his opinion that's for sure! It's gone really hot here too. My neighbour just called me to the door (our front doors are side by side) and as I stood talking to her in the full sun I could feel myself starting to melt. Archie has laid most of the day under the big pedestal fan which is partially angled toward the floor so he catches a nice breeze. He's between me and the fan so I am also benefiting from it.
