Heat is on in July

Literally, Janey-Mac is in heat this month. Oh well at least she will be done before we go away mid-August. Phew! Hasn't been fun but at least the end is in sight. Miss going places with her. We were suppose to go to the Uxbridge Highland Games with her but we ended up not taking either dog. Which was all for the best because near the end of the afternoon, the skies opened up and it poured so much rain in the next hour that roads and homes were flooded. We enjoyed the games and there will be a next time. We saw and played with the Scottish breeds. We met some Joanne from Susan's wolfhound fun day with her collies. We met some beautiful Scottish Deerhounds and Dandie Dinmonts. The Gordon Setters were great fun and the kids had their fill of dog licks for at least an hour. I would say that the highlight was having the marching band come by while we were eating lunch under the trees and perform in the rain. Beautiful!!! Afterwards, my daughter was given the opportunity to test out the drums with both types of drumsticks. Very cool. She was thrilled. In spite of the downpour the kids loved the Scottish cattle and the vendors were great. We did some serious shopping. One golf shirt, one Irish t-shirt and Green Celtic hoodie (shhh - I know it's the Scottish Highland Games). A beautiful stone plaque with what else but the Celtic dancing dogs from the 7th century. Reminded me of Janey.

I've included some photos from the games and some photos of Janey with Uly. Earlier today it was very hot and humid. Uly went around and sat on every air conditioning vent he could find. He was too exhausted from being chased by Janey in the backyard to even bother lifting his head. He just smiled! Well he'll have to put up with a horny hound for one to two weeks more.
