Oh boy what a hot weekend. It's been boiling for days now, far too hot for a black-furred quadruped to enjoy himself but boredom got the better of me and I just had to get out and about. I headed to the calm waters of the C&O canal down near the Potomac river. Ok so it wasn't any cooler and despite the warnings of dangerous heat and rabid animals I did manage a nice stroll along the towpath and a little dip but don't tell anybody that as it's not allowed. If I thought I was hot spare a thought for the mules that were pulling the boat along. I know my nose is like a million times more sensitive than a human one but it didn't need my supersensitive sniffer to figure out working mules in 105 degree heat equals a monumental whiff. Poor guys, surely there's laws to stop the exploitation of animals in this country isn't there?
