Many of you know that I recently (May) moved back to California in the high desert. An a 'out of season' hot spell came roaring down right behind me. My "little trailer', now named MY LITTLE TRAILER, is set up under some huge Tamarisk trees, and my son experimented immediately with ways to keep YO! and Fire cool, as 3 dogs camping in MY LITTLE TRAILER (hey, it's not THAT little...30 footer LOL), was a bit small it have the three of them in, yet testesteronely (I love to make up words) separated. Well, he, the smart (genius) son (not a doctor nor a lawyer LOL) has this Evaporative Water Wall set up in a corner of Yo's and Fire's run that throws out beautifully cool air as long as they need it. He has a curved wall (actually an old dinghy LOL) upright on its side to capture the air and give them a place under the Tamarisks to enjoy their day. No way were these guys going to suffer with the weather. Nice son. PlentyPretty, the CalicoCat and Dreamer spend the heat of the day in the cool trailer with me. Well, DaCat, 24/7. Can't let the screech owls see that one. Or the roaming Feral MommaCat. And yes, at one time, I was a Stupid Dog Owner, but never would let my dogs suffer, no matter how stupid I was and learning not to be quite so bad anymore.
