It's been pretty horrid around here recently, as evidenced by the chorus of flat sighs from Southern Girls. Hottest since 1908. But I can't even imagine how bad that must have been, with no cooling, no fridges, and no icecube trays in the shape of plastic penguins.
I came out of the (sweltering) bedroom into the (sweltering) living room this morning to find a listless dog lying on the floor, imploring me to make the heat go away.
He objected in principle to being dumped in the bath with the cold remains of my (cold) shower, but only for a moment.
'Oooh. Aaah. Mmmm, pleasantly interesting....'
And then the bucket of water was dashed over his head. Followed by wet dog racing through the house - oh well, it'll dry off in a jiffy. Like ten seconds.
So, that's why I was glad to have made Doggy-poles last night. Dogpops if you're Canadian. Dogsicles to the British, they are:
- dabs of vegemite
- scraps of ham
- slices of hot dog
Topped up with water and all frozen together in an ice-cube tray.
The little furry guy loves them.
PS - in case you don't consider this crafting news, the news is that the baby quilt is all finished and awaiting a photo shoot on the weekend before it's off in the post to Canada. We love the stripey binding!
The last photo taken; before the binding was on.

I so can't wait to see the finished quilt.
And just quietly those doggy-poles sound quite suitable for a pair of 2 and 3 year old boys. I might have to give them a try!!
Oh you poor dears with the heat. I have LOTS of ice to send you.
That little bird is ever so sweet as is the whole quilt. But oh that bird..
What a lovely treat for the fur child.
