I know you know this, but IT'S HOT! And apparantly, it was hot enough yesterday for the power co. to cut power to certain areas at random times so they could conserve or whatever they do that for. Anyway, our area (at least a 30 mile radius) lost power for several hours yesterday afternoon, and it got so hot inside that it was actually more comfortable outside. So around 5:30ish yesterday, Brett and I took Brown and Grey for a walk to the back of the property so they could do their business and whatnot. After a while, I noticed Grey was leaning when he stood still. I thought it was my imagination at first, but he really was leaning and after a little while he started to stagger. I asked Brett if he saw what Grey was doing, and he said, "No, he's about to lie down." I just stood there staring at him until he collapsed! My heart fell to my toes, and I was about to start crying and to scream at Brett to grab Grey and rush him back to the house when Grey rolled over and started rolling around on the ground! The moron doesn't know how to just lie down (I already knew that because he slams himself to the ground everytime he lies down), but with all the heat and everything, I really did think he had heat exhaustion! Instead, he just kinda has to lean into the ground when he goes to lie down and roll around. He scared me to death, and all he wanted to do was roll in something stinky!! *grumble grumble*
So just for good measure, we hosed off both of them and gave them a bath when we got back to the house. Neither one was thrilled about that, but they both like to be towel dried, so they got over it pretty quickly.
