Full and Empty

The word for the day is FULL. The new Hospice House is FULL of patients, with no empty rooms and sometimes even a waiting list. My day is FULL trying to see all those people. The Living Room, Library, Screen Porch, and Sunroom are FULL of family members all day long. The parking lot is FULL so I have to be careful when I go outside with my coworkers. I wish my food bowl would be FULL more often, but my mom says I will get fat if I eat too much. I argue that with my schedule so FULL of activity, I don't think I will ever be FULL figured! But nothing extra appears in my bowl.

One thing that is EMPTY right now is the old Hospice House. Some of my coworkers went over and cleaned out the old rooms to make way for new offices. The administration building (where my mom is) has gotten very crowded. Some of the existing offices have three people crammed in, like a kennel! Everyone will be happy to spread out a bit and not be on top of each other's tails. There's a lot of excitement around the water dish about the move.

Speaking of water dishes, make sure your doggy friends stay hydrated during this heat wave. If your dog spends most of her time outside, make sure she has a cool, shady place to lay and plenty of water! Give your dog lots of water during the day, and keep the water dishes somewhere they can't be turned over. I'm so glad I get to stay inside most of the day in the air conditioning! All this heat and humidity make my fur frizz.

Bark at you again soon! Stay cool!
