At the mall with Natalia

I was at the mall on Thursday with Natalia and she brought her four year old son J, we hung out in the kids play area and chatted while he had fun.

Nat to J: stop growling at the little kids, they don't know you're playing

Nat to Me: I worry that other little kids won't know he's not being mean, he just growls because he's pretending to be an animal

Me to Nat: I know what you mean, Max (my dog) growls at people sometimes and its not a mean growl, sometimes when he's happy he makes a growling noise

later....

Nat to J: stop walking in front of Diana, she isn't used to having someone walk in front of her at intermittent speeds and weaving as they go

Me to Nat: Oh don't worry about that, Sadie (my other dog) does that all of the time too, at least J doesn't have paws for me to step on.

Yes, I totally went there and compared my DOGS to her child....TWICE...and her eyes didn't even glaze over, what a good friend!!

Hey at least I'm getting out of the house more, now I just need to work on my social skills a bit.

Its getting hot in here

Our air conditioner isn't working. Its blowing air but its not COLD air. We just had it repaired at the end of May and a new one would cost about $4000 that we just don't have right now. They will be here some time this afternoon so please send good thoughts for an inexpensive bill.

It was a rough night last night, we were quite hot and the dogs were so hot they kept crying to be let out of their crates to get a drink. Ken actually got up at 2am and got a cool shower.

Its another very raining morning here, we didn't get to go for a walk but the the guppers don't seem disappointed. I really think they just want to sleep. I can't even let them play in their pool to cool down because its raining so much. Poor babies. Yes they have their own kiddie pool. Its really cute, I'll try to take some pictures or video of them playing it in this weekend.



The rain has brought extreme humidity so here I am: 1. I'm hot, 2. I'm pretty sure I smell bad, 3. I'm miserable and 4. my hair looks like a frizz bomb. I guess the only good news is that I don't have much of an appetite with the heat. Maybe I shouldn't fix the air conditioner after all :-)

Here is Max trying to stay cool...
