"EXTREME TEMPERATURES HIT THE NORTHERN FOREST!!"
Here I am thinking cool, but that sure wasn't the case here this week! Extremely hot weather with temperatures in the 30C range and with high humidity made the humidex readings in the low to mid 40C area.
Luckily the kennel area is in shade for the best part of the day being surrounded by the forest. Also, additional shade is provided by their dog houses that they can get under. The dogs are smart enough not to expend much energy and lay quietly in the shade. It is very important to ensure they keep well hydrated with these extreme conditions.
I also had to go for the monthly supply of frozen meat for the dogs on Tuesday, leaving here at 6am and returning here around 11am. The quick trip in the early part of the day that ensured the meat stayed frozen until placed in the freezers here.
We had a heavy rain here on Friday that helped relieve the high temperatures but did nothing for the humidity.
STAY COOL!
THINK WINTER!
Until next week.......
