The weather this Memorial Day Weekend consists of torrential downpours and uncomfortable heat. Harley is so over the heat.
I just took the dogs on a five mile dog walk. I think we spent about half of the time allowing Harley to cool down as I played Angry Birds.
Walking Harley-Scalia is rather difficult because he stops every two blocks – sometimes in crosswalks. I also learned the hard way that there is no way to scream at a collapsing dog in the middle of the street without looking batshit cray.
Toward the middle of the walk there was an uncomfortable moment when a horse-drawn carriage came down the road. Harley wouldn’t move because he was overheated, and I was scared that that the dogs would try to lunge at the approaching horses. I envisioned my dogs scaring the horses, the horses flipping out, and then the entire Quinceañera party in the carriage flying onto the pavement.
Sure enough, the dogs pulled toward the horses, but luckily they don’t bark, so I don’t think the carriage riders noticed. The coachman shot me the stank eye though.
I think I’ll wait until nightfall for the next walk. Hopefully it’s not storming and all the horses are gone by then.
