Do our pets think we control the weather?

[undeterred]

Its too hot today to go out for some exercise... but my dog keeps asking to go out. Or maybe he thinks I can do something about the heat...

1. You know those cheap plastic kiddie pools you see at home stores, Wally World, Target?

How many would you bet are purchased solely for the pup in the family.

5. I have one in the garage just for that purpose. They love it.

7. I tried that, thinking my dogs would love it. They would have no part of it.

They just stood around looking at it, as I tried to entice them into just an inch of water with toys. I even got in. But no way.

2. Why not?

You 'control' light and dark don't you?

6. I control the rising and setting of the sun

and thunderstorms too. At least he thinks I do.

3. They figure it out pretty quickly.

4. Sounds like a difference of opinion.

I knew it was hot the other day when my dog was ready to come back inside after all of five minutes of playing fetch.

8. Just wait til the fireworks start tonight

My dog thinks all those loud bangs are something I can and should do something about.

9. I always feel sorry for the pets in the neighborhood of the big fireworks displays.

The noise hurts my ears, so I can't imagine what it does to a dogs. Sure are nice to watch, though.
