Hot weather has arrived!

Frito was born at the beginning of summer in June, but this summer is truly her first experience with extreme heat, something that NYC is not short of this year. Living in NYC is challenging when it comes to finding ways of keeping your dog cool and occupied. Fortunately the area dog parks have pools/watering systems of various designs to at least give the dogs a chance to exercise and keep cool at the same time. Unfortunately, at the beginning of summer, the parks department can be a little slow at turning the water on so I was forced to improvise in the meantime.

Frito wondering what I am doing with a water bottle...


Attack of the water bottle!


I accidently dropped the water bottle on the ground and suddenly the tables turned and it was the water bottle being attacked. Note the tooth marks on the bottle - whoops!


Several days later, the parks department finally turned on the water at one of the dog parks. Frito had never been in water other than the rain, of course, and when she has been bathed. She was not sure what to make of it at first, but was soon running and jumping through the water.
