Heat wave

The heat was supposed to start Saturday. It wasn't so bad though on Saturday. Riley and I made it up to Fort Foster in Kittery, Maine, to join 55 other Berners at the summer picnic. We haven't been to this event since Riley was just a 12 week old puppy! It was the first Nashoba Valley club event we attended and we received an award for youngest puppy. So the picnic this year was fun. The weather was warm but not unbearable. I got to meet and hold several new puppies. One was only 8 weeks old and just a sweetheart! Near the end of the day, several of us and some 9 Berners headed down to the beach to let our furkids romp on the beach. Riley would be the only Berner who did not love the water. He was content just to sit up on the rocks and watch everyone swim, jump, and lay in the waves. It was quite a site to see.
Since Saturday, the temperature has risen up to 100. Riley has not been out on a walk. It has been quick bathroom walk in the AM and one in the PM. I worry about his weight and his mental status. So this morning, we went for a nice walk at the Paine Estate. He got a chance to stretch his legs and do his doggy thing. He looks much better now. Hopefully this 100 degree weather is over and done with.
