Holy Hot Tamale Batman!

For my fans across the U.S., here’s a little update. I live in Texas and the summer weather is hotter than a Texas tamale. I’m always befuddled (word of the day) as to why humans go swimming during the hot months of the year but they don’t think about what dogs want and need to cool off in the heat.

Dogs love to romp in a cool pool just like humans. In fact my buddies in the video below love to slide down waterslides before leaping into the pool.


Now, maybe your humans are thinking it’s too expensive to put a swimming pool in the yard and the public pools aren’t so keen on dogs visiting the premises so where is a dog to go for some swimming fun? I’ve got just the solution: a pool designed just for us created by: One Dog One Bone. Look at the photos below and you’ll understand why I’m so excited about this spiffy swimming pool.

So, here’s my lesson of the day… Summer isn’t just fun for humans. It’s also fun for us. On the other hand the heat is tough to take without plenty of water (for drinking) and downright unbearable without a recreational water source. It costs so little to make us so happy and while playing in our keen ‘bone’ swimming pool, we promise to keep you entertained too.

Okay, here’s the question of the day from Cisco who asked: My pal Alley (yes it’s spelled that way) and I love to eat but we hate our food so my mom and dad promised to buy new food. We’re thrilled but is there anything they should know first?

Dear Cisco:

Don’t suddenly switch foods. It can really piss off your stomach. (I guess it’s okay to say piss off in my blog.) What they say is to use ¾ of your old food and ¼ of your new food. Do this for two days. Then ½ and ½ of each food for two days; then ¼ of the old and ¾ of the new for two days. That should do it and you should be able to avoid any stomach problems from switching to a new food too fast.
