I could go for a pina colada

Has Earth shifted closer toward the sun? Are scientists just not telling us? Because it is insanely hot out there. It's been up in the 90's for the past week or so, but what kills you here is the humidity. It's still not as bad as I remember one Columbia, South Carolina being, but it's still oppressive. The temperatures have been so high so consistently that our house is getting a lot hotter even with the air conditioning on. Our second floor is like a rice cooker right now. Wubby comes upstairs when we're up there, but you can see in his eyes that the thought of moving from room to room is exhausting. He just lies on the cooler hardwood floors in the hallway and looks depressed. Poor furry guy. I would not want to be wearing a fur coat in August, that's for sure.

We escaped to the cool confines of the movies the other day and saw Mission Impossible: 3. It was actually really good! I thought it was better than the first two. If you can get past Tom Cruise's kookiness in real life, it's worth watching. Hey, speaking of which, have you read the reports about Mel Gibon's DUI arrest this weekend? There's another crackpot. Can somebody please explain to me what Mel Gibson has against the Jews and what Tom Cruise has against psychologists? It just goes to show you don't really have to be smart to be a movie star. Heather Graham, I'm looking in your direction....

Ralphie likes to collapse on the air vents when he's really hot. I feel so bad for him and that smushed in little face of his.

J and I sometimes talk about shaving Wubby to offer him some relief. I don't know if the coolness of that outweighs the humiliation of being without fur though...?

My mother-in-law has her big fat furry cat, Molly, shaved in the summer and the difference in Molly's general outlook is noticeable! She almost has a spring in her step. They shave the cats usually to look like a lion, the hair around their face and feet is still there, but the mass around their bodies is shaved. Is Wubby just an inside cat? if so, you wouldn't have to worry about teasing from other felines! :)

That's true. He is an indoor cat, so he'd just have to get used to us seeing him like that. So Molly is obviously happier when she's shaved? This is something to look into!

Yep, they actually do call it a 'lion cut' and alot of people do it for their cats, and even some of the small furrier dogs, in the summer time to give them some relief. Ralphie is a pug, he would just look stupid like that!
