It's very hot out...

...and I'm wearing a fur coat.

Oh, please don't get me wrong, unlike those radical anti-fur folks, I actually like my fur coat and I wear it proudly.

But when it's +30 C, suddenly wearing a fur coat isn't such a great idea.  Mom is taking me to the groomer for a haircut next week.  She tried hard to get me in this week, you know, during this heat wave, but seems all the other dogparents thought the same thing and there are no open appointments.

Now, there is one teeny-tiny salvation in all this:  Our new house has CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING!!!!!  Mom is a little worried about how much it will cost so she only has it set at 26C (80F) from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.  Today she got a little daring and dropped it to 24 (75F) 'cause she had a really bad headache and upset tummy due to the heat.  The previous owners installed a non-metric thermostat as they preferred the F scale to the C scale.  Mom knows metric better so she had to write out a whole bunch of temperature conversions and tape them to the box.  Which is kinda good for me 'cause now I can tell you the temperature is both scales :-D

Mom's computer is dying a slow and rather painful death.  It's a Dell laptop she bought almost 5 years ago but now can't run half her programs 'cause even though it was kick-ass computer when she bought it, seems 512 MB of RAM isn't cutting it anymore.  She bought a co-workers' MacBook (2006 version) as a filler/travel laptop and is suddenly very much becoming an Apple fan!

I don't care which computer we use, so long as she doesn't forget to upload my posts!!!!
