| Who ordered this HEAT!!!!! We live near the ocean and NEVER get the temps. we are having the past couple of days. Today is 110 degrees and the girls and I are about to croak. I have all shads down but it keeps getting hoter. We don't have AC, in fact I don't know anyone who does because of where we live. I think I should put them in the tub and give them a nice cool bath. Who else is having unusually high temps? Here is where the girls are now: |

| Those poor babies!!! I am afraid this summer will be a HOT one! We have our days here...it will be chilly and storming and then the next day, so hot and humid, it is miserable. Even in the pool, you aren't cooled off. Why no AC?

| awww poor babies! I wish I had some of your heat. It was hot here last week but drastically cooled off this week. Actually its been 'perfect' weather wise, but Id like it a bit warmer personally!

| So sorry you're having a heat wave on the west coast. We've cooled down a bit this week, right now it's upper 80's but all last week was in the 90's. We haven't had any rain and we're in an extreme drought in our area of NC. Pray for rain in the south and cooler temps in the west.

| I would put them in a tub with a little cool water. They would probably feel better.

| We are already in the 90's. I'm sure the electric co. loves it. Our electric bill for July completely doubled for what it was last month. Hate to see what its going to hit before its over. We had some high winds last week and our electricity was off for almost 20hrs. I am so glad we keep our house cold because it helped for awhile. |

Yesterday and today, it's thundered and rumbled only to get a few sprinkles...just enough to get the car dirty! We've been burning up and I hate to see our next electricty bill. Last month, our bill was $160. This month, we paid $250. I bet it's close to $400 next month.

| The only fan we have is the ceiling fan in the breakfast room. I gave the girls a bath and me a shower but it just didn't do the trick. I don't ever remember being so hot. |

I can't even imagine being 110 with no AC. low 90s are about as much as we can do w/ no AC.

| We are! Yesterday it was 122 here. Today so far I've heard 118. I hate this time of year here. It's 100 deg by 9 am so it's really hard to get out and walk or do much of anything. It's going to stay this way for a few more days too.....UGH!!!! Luckily, we DO Have A/C...and it runs all day and all night...love those electric bills for these next few months

| My dogs are having cabin fever today -- puppies as well as adults. Way too hot to take them out to play (107 today). We have AC, and it is bearable inside, but the dogs are getting cranky from being cooped up. Don't know what I would do if we didn't have A/C. How long can you stand in a shower, especially with all you dogs?
