omg! i need to rant/vent! last night was h*ll!!! i don't know if anyone else suffering from the heat wave had this problem??
buttt... well it's been REALLY bad heat/air here on cape cod, like i can barely walk 100 yards without having trouble breathing, and i'ma healhty 23 year old! so... i haven't taken fumble for any extensive walks (our usual 1-1.5 mile walk) every day... and last night was h*ll! i think a combo between not being exercised, the heat, and horrible air quality got to him! he slept a grand total of 1 hour! 1 hour!!!
needless to say, i'm sitting in my office irght now drinking an energy drink, that will be followed up by an XL coffeE! i feel so bad for him! he slept a little at the beginning and then i heard him panting/tossing and turning.. then at 2:30 am he started crying, followed by yelping/barking.. i got up and decided to let him out, maybe he had to pee, then i got him some ice cubes and put him back in his crate..
----crate interuption here- he still sleeps in his crate, won't not sleep in it! i've even tried leaving the door open, and that doesn't work because he sits there and pants away looking at the dooor as if to say "what? what's going on"? i think he likes to put all his weight through his front paws on the door and stretch (so that's my crate rant) any suggestions to maybe get him used to sleeping with the door open are openly welcome)-----
and then again, at like 5:15 he started crying again.. so i let him out and then left him in teh hosue and put up our gate in front of mine and stacy's doors... well barked up a storm there. i even tried to ignore it, but with renters in 50 yard distance, i didn't think it would be so smart to have him barking till all hours of the morning..
sorry! just needed to rant! today the heat is supposed to break at like 8 pm, which probably will still make for anohter long night, because i dont' want to walk him in the heat today and then the thunderstorms that they're planning on all day after 6! hopefully tomorrow will be betTER! ~ maybe as a suprise i'll wake up extra early tomorrow morning and take him for a walk before the sun rises! who knowS!! sorry again! my tab energy drink is making me want to vent! lol!!
