Hot Kamloops visit

Well, summer has barely started, and we're already into the heat. Richie and I took a road trip up to Kamloops to try and and stay cool and hang out by the pool. When we got there, there were already a bunch of doggies up there. Harley had just arrived, but Humphrey and Barney had been there for a couple of days already. Barney wouldn't leave me alone... even though he is a lot bigger now, he still behaves like a puppy and is either in my face, or busy at the other end.

After a while, he would finally calm down and leave me alone. Here we are, trying to stay cool on the tile. He would never go very far from me, and sometimes, Deb would have to put him in the house so that I could have some peace.

I noticed earlier that Barney got up on the roof of the shed. Not one to be left out, I decided to go check it out. It's really neat up there, as you get a bird's-eye-view of the humans and other doggies on the patio. Richie didn't like me being up there however, so I came back down.

The next morning, we went for a walk at the park we have been to in the past. It was nice to get our paws in the cool water, even though it wasn't that hot out yet. As you can see, Barney isn't allowed to roam free yet; his flock-guardian instincts tell him to try and find the boundary of his protection zone, which can send him wandering off, and he doesn't come back easily.

It got so hot up there, that we ended up spending the afternoons and evenings sitting inside in the air conditioning, which suited me just fine. But after three sleeps, we came back home.
