Since we never really had a winter this past year, this summer is hitting us hard too. It's been close to the 100s here lately.
I got away from it and went to Tahoe for a week and it was still unusually warm up there too. Along with hail and rain storms.

The cats are shedding TONS due to the heat. The dogs are ok. They have a pool in the backyard and Zoee takes full advantage of that. Taggart thinks it is just a LARGE drinking bowl.
He'll get in if we coax him, but otherwise he just drinks out of it.

I really wish there was a system in place to bring water from the areas that are flooding and have horrible weather out to the West where we are having drought issues. So bizarre!
