My dog hops into any water source she gets close to. Sometimes good sometimes very stinky.Neversummerhttp://neversummer.nitebreeze.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-28857511497324095882012-06-24T17:18:24.738-06:002012-06-24T17:18:24.738-06:00I like your memories of summer.

And of course, it is on a lot of our minds now with smoke in the air from many Colorado fires around the state. Amazing how far smoke travels.<br /><br />The horses seems to fare well in the heat, with plenty of water and access to shade in and around the barn. I've thought about getting a stall fan. When Misty had her dental procedure last summer, they put her in a recovery stall with a box fan hanging outside. I found her standing right in front of the fan as it blew on her face. Looked like she appreciated the breeze. The dogs lounge around inside. Bella tends to seek out cool spots on non-carpeted surfaces. The parrots still have a heater in their room to offset the chill from the air conditioner. They like it warm.<br /><br />Summer of '69 - I was horse crazy and loved visiting my Grandma in Kansas and enjoyed riding farm horses that year. I posted a 1969 memory here: http://onceuponanequine.blogspot.com/2012/02/still-horse-crazy.htmlOnce Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-78962371150045870402012-06-22T15:26:25.670-06:002012-06-22T15:26:25.670-06:00Summer-- swimming!

So much to do before winter sets in and you don't want to do the work part because it's so much more fun to just get out and ride and enjoy the lovely days.<br /> Water- that's how I help my critters deal with the heat. I spray the horses down- they love it and will come over when I have the hose out and just stand there until I spray them down. I take the dogs to the river, or give them a tub of water that they can jump in. <br />Summer of 69- I left home.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.com
