Rufus is generally an upbeat little pup. He likes to romp around in the backyard, smell the smells, play with his sister, and watch the world from his smelling window. Rufus is an all-around happy kind of dog.
Occasionally, though, Rufus gets a touch of ennui.
It’s the heat. While Rufus is the kind of dog who loves being out in moutains of snow and ice, the heat is not his friend. Heat makes him hot and cranky. He no longer wants to romp and play. He just wants to lay around and do nothing. Hence the ennui.
How do our other pup friends handle the heat? Smalls, Kaya, Ben, Bailey, Ted, Foxy, Gus, and Zapp
Aww, poor guy! I hope he starts feeling a little better, even though the heat of summer probably won’t get better for a little while…

Poor Rufus! Go sit in front of the A/C for a while and you’ll perk up.

Aw, I just want to snuggle up to him and tell him it’ll all be okay! But then, that would probably make him more uncomfortable, what with the body heat and all.

You didn’t ask me but I will tell you that Rico does not like the heat. And yet he is Cuban – how does that work? He pants and pants and lies down on the tile or anything that isn’t carpet. If you try to take him for a walk, he finds grass, pretends to need to go potty and then lays down. Dead weight = cannot move dog.
