Heidi Chronicles Part 4

[Daisy and Delilah]

Hi Barry, Mom and Heidi!! Great pictures and stories, Barry. Heidi, you are such a versatile entertainer. Always busy. Never missing a beat. I can't believe you chewed up your collar. Silly girl. You can't go for walks without one.
Barry, I'm so sorry to hear about your Uncle. Poor guy just can't win. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Be a good girl, Heidi. Keep Barry and Mom safe. Your job is guarding the house. I'm thrilled you aren't scared of thunderstorms.

Heidi having a snooze by the chair late Sunday afternoon and on her walk today.We had Steak and fried potatoes on Canada Day,Heidi does not like the barbecue as soon as she sees it,she starts barking at it and I have to bring her in the house.I thought I had a problem with the camera yesterday,the lense didn't come out when I was trying to take a picture of Heidi on our walk Sunday,if i had the right bill with me they could know I have a warranty, they tried that with just a phone number ,couldn't find it,I figured out the problem,the battery was dead,I had to wait until the light had shut off to charge it,fine now.Heidi saw no dogs on her walks yesterday and today,heard fireworks last night,didn't bother her her.Heidi had her look out the window then on a walk, mom and cleaned a flowerbed after that,Heidi has spent most of the day down here being cool.She had her morning snack,,has had two snacks tonight,had two refills of water,asked for it,sitting now chewing on her bone.Still warm and humid here for most of the week.Elyse,I know there were storms down in the U.S. power is out in the Midwest including parts of Illinois,so if I don't hear from you for awhile,I will know why.

Hi, Heidi and Barry! It's nice to be inside and cool on a hot day, and to have a drink of cool water whenever you need one! Cassie is under the love seat (one of her favorite spots) as I am typing this. I'm glad the fireworks didn't bother you! Ours are tonight but I think they've been called off because everything is so dry. Heidi, I love your full tail! You are so cute, as always!

The storm from Sunday just clipped my neighborhood. It rained hard briefly, but we didn't lose our power. I have friends from church who did, though. The storm was stronger north and west of here.

Miss Heidi! I wonder why you decided to stay out in the sun? I'm glad you are back inside where it's cool. We got a definite cool-down yesterday into last night, and it is noticeably cooler today. So I hope the switch in the weather reaches you today. Happy Sunday, cutie!
