Our walkies have been cut short by the too-hot temps and the IRRITATING bugs that buzz all around our heads. Mom has tried smelly essential oils and other stuffs but nothing works.
I can't wait to get home and into my cool house and leave the bugs and the heat outside.
Shortly afterwards comes my morning treat~
It doesn't keep me busy for long but it does make me happy☺
Mom says all the time, "Thank goodness for puzzles and books when we don't want to be outside"!
We are staying cool and happy and hoping that everyone else is too.
Love ya lots♥
Molly
No problem staying cool here Molly. Current temperature (midday) is 56F with 30 mph winds!
ReplyDeleteYour mom's puzzles look like lots of fun. You could make them more fun by hiding a few pieces when she's not looking. Don't tell her I said so if you get caught.
ReplyDeleteSome of the little old ladies at the nursing home have been making puzzles to pass the time during the quarantine.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. It's even miserable in the shade. I got bit by mosquitoes yesterday so I'm doing the scratching thing. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteI linked this post to Happy Tuesday.
Have a woof woof day, Miss Molly. My best to your mom. ♥
Hi Molly, I hope you get a cool walk in at some point today when the bugs have all gone in. We agree with you though, inside where it is cool and you can read or do puzzles is the best idea with treats of course.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I have bought a jigsaw puzzle to take away on vacation with us because of seeing your Mom do hers! I will show you some pictures when it is done.
Have a lovely day Hugs & Love Susie & Treacle.
PS sorry I have been late with my comments over the last few posts it has been quite busy here!!!!!!xxxx

ReplyDeleteOh I do love a good puzzle - be it jig or cross!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Puzzles sound like a great way to pass the time! We sure hope it cools off a bit(and the buggles go away) soon!
ReplyDeleteThose pesky oak mites are driving everyone crazy around here. We try not to walk too much at night because that's when all the gnats are out.
ReplyDeleteMom has done a teaCUP puzzle that was fun. She likes that multi-pattern one a lot - that must have been challenging.

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! It has been HOT here too! We also had a buggy Walk the other day. You have my full sympathy, friend! I hope you got just as many doggy puzzles as your human got people puzzles!
ReplyDeleteWe get lots of exercise early morning, so we are content to hang out the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteWe are very thankful for our AC cooled house too. It's been pretty hot around here lately so we haven't been spending much time outside. You look like you sure are enjoying that treat.
ReplyDeleteThese days going from the kitchen to the bed counts as a walk
ReplyDeleteThat biscuit goes well with all the tea served! I love that puzzle.
ReplyDeleteMolly I am WAY over Summer, C19, isolation, and chaos...I too am happy for my inner sanctum and hobbies. Yay for your treat and OMDs you mom's puzzles are just gorgeous!!! It would take me furever to do puzzles this intricate
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
Yes, we know just how you feel! I have found that the Badger insect repellent is more natural and works pretty well for me. But I think when it comes to the natural stuff, it just depends on the person.
ReplyDeleteNothing seems to keep away those pesky deer flies though, which come out as soon as it gets hotter, and they love to buzz around poor Luke. So it's shorter walks for us these days too.

I sure hope that your world cools down soon, Molly. I'm so glad that you have such a nice and cool home.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Cool is good! I like to lie on the nice cool tile and Dada's plastic chair mat when it gets a little too warm."
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "You dogs are crazy. Hot is good."
Chaplin: "The hotter, the better."
