Feeling hot hot hot

This week has been incredibly hot. With temperatures at times reaching above 30C Senna has been extremely lethargic and has slept the best part of the week, not having the energy to do anything. She hasn't even really wanted to go outside, more than necessary, and the walks have been in slow mode:) We've been giving her ice cubes to suck on and I have been spraying her with a plant mister to keep her cool, something she quite enjoys. Everything that somehow involves water goes:) On Friday night we were all sitting on the balcony eating dinner, enjoying the warm evening. I took Senna in my lap to see if she still fit. I guess the picture says it all:) She is growing at an incredible speed!

Last night we went for a BBQ at a friend's place and Senna met her little dachshound for the sencond time. New place, new people, a dog and hot weather... needless to say the dog was done for it when we got home and went straight to bed. This morning she was still asleep when I got up at 7.30:)

Today we went to the dog swimming bay in Tampere. There's a specially designated bay for dog swimming close to where we live, where the dogs are allowed to splash around freely. When we got there there were already some other dogs swimming and enjoying the water. Senna joined in happily and had a rough and tumble with another puppy, same age as her. But she got tired quite fast and settled under a tree in the shade for a while to watch the other rascals play. It was a nice place to come and let the dog swim anyway.
