A Cool Treat

We're all doing our best to stay cool during this early heat wave. On the way home from the grocery store I saw this herd of cows enjoying a cool dip in the pond.


They were standing in the water up to their bellies and seemed to be having a very good time.


For our afternoon outing I thought my pack might enjoy a cool treat. I opened a bag of baby carrots straight from the refrigerator, cool and nutritious.


I gave all my puppies carrots when they were little and starting to teethe. They were the right size for a little pup to chew on, cold to numb the sore gums and good for them. If they ate them, no harm done.


Evereyone gathered under the tree to see what was in the little box.


They have to sit and wait for their turn, no jumping on me and no acting rowdy.


I was surprised how gently everyone took their carrots from my hand. I had no bitten fingers.


There were enough for everyone to have several.




They're used to taking turns each night when they get their yogurt, so they were doing the same thing today.


Some of them wander away to eat their carrot, then hurry back into line.


Sky tries running from one end of the line to the other to get extras, but I'm onto him.




We're getting near the end of the carrots.


That's it kids. Some of them want to sniff the box to be sure there are no more.


Wow, those tasted great. Let's do it again really soon. How do you stay cool?
