The Heat........23/24 of 31

What does this picture have to do with heat?  I'll tell you.  Central Illinois is experiencing a horrible drought.  We haven't had rain since maybe early June.  Our grass is brown and dried up and feels like hay on your bare feet.  The crops are a wash this year and it's so miserably hot no one really wants to be outside, for very long anyway.  I fully anticipate my power bill for July will be close to $400.  Ugh.  But the heat is hard on our puppy.  She loves to be outside with the boys but what happens is she runs around then drinks too much water and throws up.  At night after everyone has taken a shower - a cold one I might add she "parks" herself just like how you see her above.  She does everything she can to get on Mike's lap (we don't let her on the furniture, although from the picture above you can't tell that, jeez) and then she tries to maneuver herself so she is touching Jay too. She is so cute.
