I don't know about the rest of you, but it's hot to beat hot here. My poor dogs just look miserable. I got their kennels covered with tarps and plywood to give them shade and have given them fresh water four times today, they still look hot! I can't wait for the Fall.

Its 95 here no telling what the heat index is. No sign of rain hasn't rained in a couple of weeks here. My dogs are just laying around but I hunt mine at night this time of year plus the coonhounds so mine ussually sleep all day anyways

We have 95 also. The grass is starting to brown, we could use some rain. So, if you have plenty send some our way. LOL

Yeah its way to hot up here in MO too I know how you feel and all I have to look forward to tonight is mowing. Its going to suck. lol.

Hot or not I am going running in the morning..lol...I know a spot even when it is as dry as it is now there is water. I will turn loose by 4:30am...

WEAR A BULLET PROOF VEST FOR 10 HOURS A DAY AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HOT IS. I BET DRANK 3 GALLONS OF WATER TODAY

beaglehandler, Try wearing one 12 hours a day...... My dept. works 12 hr shifts......sweat running down the small of your back under that hot thing and you cant even scratch it.......miserable I say....

DARRIN & BEAGLEHANDLER, TRY GETTING SHOT WITHOUT ONE.
NOW THAT'S MISERABLE. WEAR THEM IN GOOD HEALTH.

107 here in Eastern Washington yesterday. I have vines growing over my dog pen for shade and they ( Dogs)were cool. These vines work better than any thing I ever used.

We have one beagle here who is on the ground he has dug a hole I bet 2 feet deep and just lays in his pit ,,,we have been watering 3 times a day as well,,,,Take care Shannon

I've still been running them in the evenings when it cools off, they've had some really good runs when the air starts to cool as evening comes on.

I take water into the field with me. Some for me but most for the dogs and my 7 year old daughter who goes out each evening with us.

try keeping 60 acres of a college campus with: two ball fields and a soccer field , 4,000+ annual flowers, hundreds of trees and shrubs ,looking good in this dry, very dry( no measureable rain in three weeks) hot humid weather,90 degrees three days this week. I worked 14.5 hours Thrusday covering a special event. Our clear plastic cups, inside their clear plastic bags, laying on an aluminum table in direct sun got melted or warped all out of shape. I've been too tired to even think of running dogs

In eastern N.C. it does not cool off enough at night to even run . Got up yesterday to go to work and heat was in the 80s at 4 a.m. . I don't even want to get out in it I can't think of putting the out in it . I can not wait to it cools down so start running hard again
