We get plenty of 'cool' but very muggy fall days where it might never top 70degs, but the high probability of rain or thunder drives the humidity up and together they really put stress on the dogs.<br /><br />Got back from the cool of Arizona yesterday, left my own little rocketship out there for the remaining six weeks, and am excited to see how much polish Bill can get on him in that time.<br /><br />AndrewAndrew Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204944202954520498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177950893772260581.post-74419933305893369822010-07-28T12:08:34.986-07:002010-07-28T12:08:34.986-07:00Good post and I hope a lot of people read it.

Early in the morning and late in the evening for short periods is the rule during hot weather.<br /><br />I was over at Maurice's last Saturday and he just received some 8-9 week old quail. He's not working them at all for fear of stressing them too much in this oppressive heat we're having. It's not just the dogs that can suffer.<br /><br />I am done with summer and we're not even in August yet. I can't remember ever looking forward to fall and cooler weather more than I am this year.Mark Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105837142551567890noreply@blogger.com
