Animal Crackers - Summer Cut

Howdy 

 This heat is unbearable! It has been over 100 degrees all week. I do not do well in the heat. But the attention has been more about our fur children - first up Miss Libbie.

 At her age she doesn't like the heat either. So for only the second or third time in her life we decided a summer hair cut was in order. She has always slicked off and a good brushing and her fur was stunning and cool. But she just wasn't loosing it this year so a haircut was needed to make her feel better. She wasn't happy about it at first. Being blind and nearly deaf it was confusing - but she soon started enjoying all the attention. 

 

Ok, so it is not a professional cut. A "Mom" home cut. But honestly she looks adorable and is loving how much cooler she is. She had a cut, a bath and then got her toes done. A Libbie Spa afternoon! She seriously does look so cute! 

Now the entire time spa time was going on - Chica was in total hiding. She goes into total panic mode when that word bath is mentioned. Much less the hair cut or toes! Good thing she has lost her winter fur and has such silky thin hair, that she isn't as affected by the heat. But she did end up getting the bath - 

"Dad" says to her "Chica you may be a pretty little girl but you are no Lady" LOL she loves to get dirty! She is getting older and greyer, but she is still such a pretty girl. 

Now I went out to snap photos of the outside fur children. It wasn't that late but man it was already so so so hot! 

Black Jack said nope not leaving the shade! 

 

"Dad" got his pen all mowed this week and it is turning that summer shade of dead. But it still has some hints of green, and now more feed is brought in. But at this moment... shade was all that mattered. 

I made sure to check on Darlene - as our grandma on the farm she really doesn't like the heat that much either. But she has slicked off and most of the time stays in the shade herself. All though she did come out for some much needed scratches and loving! 

For an old lady she still has her looks!  I spent most of my time outside with her. She got a full body rub done and lots of chatting.

 Now I did a chat with the little chicks as well. All though they are not so little anymore. They are growing so fast! 

They are all so pretty. And some have some really striking colors!

"Friz" is getting some really long feathers on those cute little feet. She is one of the smallest in the group, but tries to hold her own with the bigger girls.

 

 

She is a cutie isn't' she?? 

 

And one last photo today - despite the over 100 degree heat we still have tomatoes! Are the plants getting long and and and well summer looking? Yes, but Hubby still has tomatoes turning red! And they are so so yummy! 

 

A great treat - garden tomatoes with cold cottage cheese is my favorite! 

Hope you enjoyed - and hope you are all doing great this weekend enjoying some furry or feathered friends!
