Another heat wave has graced us this week. Temps made it over 100 degrees and it is way too hot for all of us who wear fur coats full time… especially black fur!

After watching several other dogs playing this weekend, i discovered a most delightful way to cool down ….. I just go have a seat in the water over at Derby Wharf. At first i was scared of the waves, but after sitting in the cold water they no longer seemed spooky. I have not tried to swim yet. (Of course Beta-chic is terrified i may swim across the channel to Marblehead if she lets me off the leash. She also has an annoying habit of hosing me down when we come home while mumbling something about stinky water and salt.) Humans do make such a fuss over the funniest things sometimes. I hope that she lets me off the leash soon just so i can try to swim and make her scream “Quan Yin come back!”

News is that Hurricane Earl is heading up the coast soon. I can only hope he passes us by. I am terrified of flooding and fire trucks. Perhaps it has something to do with being abandoned in the floods this year. It will be 3 months this weekend that i was transported up from TN. I do hope that the pet humans throw a surprise party with plenty of organic chicken and apple sausage for me.

Stay cool. Until my next post .. happy tails,
Quan Yin
