The heat is on…

Written By EDD Jordan

It’s no surprise that July is hot. As I write this, we’re under a heat advisory. My author signing planned for today has been rescheduled for August. See my Events link for all my upcoming signing events. On a positive note, this provides me with more time to write and create additional art pieces to sell!

Tala is not happy with this heat. She enjoys her daily walks in the very early morning as soon as dawn arrives. Her evening walks are not as comfortable, but we do wait until the streets are in the shade of the setting sun. During the day, we limit her walks to avoid her injuring her paw pads on the extremely hot pavement. She has come to enjoy the kitchen’s air conditioning even though she would love to be running in the sunshine. Her health has had a minor set back after it appeared she was beyond her earlier issues. She is back on Rx Clay for a short time to hopefully resolve her issues for good. Tala is in great health otherwise so we’re confident she’ll overcome the minor issue she has. We have learned her favorite activities, besides napping most of the day on the kitchen floor, is playing ball, stalking bunnies to watch them bound off, and eating ice cubes as treats. Her greatest activity is one she accomplishes without even trying - providing heartfelt joy to everyone that meets her.

Tala’s safety reminders: don’t leave animals in cars - minimize time walking on hot pavement - have plenty of drinking water available.
