Time4ANap Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Mark and LaVida decided to get the sunbathing in early this morning before the temperature got too hot. This afternoon they are both sacked out in air conditioned comfort. Quote Camp Broodie. The current home of Mark Kay Mark Jack and Gracie Kiowa Safe Joan.

Perfect for walking hounds or working outside. The hounds are KNOT morning people (neither is their Daddyman). We've been lucky enough to be able to walk right at sunset most evenings as the sidewalks are still cooling off enough to be able to walk. We probably only have a few more nights of evening walks before the sidewalks will retain the daytime heat and temps will still be too high to walk after sunset. Once the continuous heat starts, we use a laser thermometer to check the sidewalk temps before deciding if we can walk. Most of the time we can't. Quote Camp Broodie.

We do three walks a day no matter what, although I do make adjustments for conditions. Today it was around 70, but seemed warmer because the conditions changed so quickly. Opal, who is nearly 14, didn't want to join the others at lunchtime. I took her out separately. She turned back as soon as she was empty. Then she wandered around the edges of the yard for quite a while eating tasty spring grass. The leaves are coming out so she had a fair bit of shade during her wander.

We are just about at the point where you have to finish your walk by about 6:30 AM to be comfortable. Any later and the sun is high enough to make the walk way too hot. Quote Camp Broodie.

palmettobug Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I can deal with dry heat, at least the sweat does something! 5 years in south Texas, good times!

Getting up early enough to finish by 6:30 am wouldn't be on my agenda either. All my current sheep houndies love spring grass. So does the woolly dog, but she vomits, so she gets yelled at when she partakes.
