this morning, weather guy says.
Sorry, today is the same as yesterday.
Hot, Humid, Uncomfortable, Oppressive, Dangerous
Again, I am warning you, your dog paws can burn in 15 seconds on our streets.
Vets are saying more burned paws are coming in.

NO RAIN! Sweltering 98 degrees humidity, it is all we can do to walk at daybreak. Heat Advisories, warnings of ER are swamped with heat stroke victims. |
Jackie's morning text message read at 2 AM, 101 degrees, I answered with it was 87 at 5 am.
I listened to Myra at Respice, Prospice and made coffee ice cubes, put in coffee and sicced my Super Bullet blender on it.. IT WORKS.. she puts coffee ice cubes in her Almond Milk, drinks it cold, I blended my cubes with Vanilla Soy milk and had frozen cappuccino. Beau gets ice cubes, he loves them.

Coffee ice cubes sound refreshing and cooling in such intense heat you are having.
I love your post today even though it reminded me of some very trying times of year in Greece - especially chilled coffee. I never took to it but city Greeks seem to live on the stuff.
Lovely illustrations!
Anything cooling is worth a try.
that is horrible with such high temperatures... we have the opposite... it has not even 10°c in the morning...
Awful temperatures you are having. I hope it cools down some. The coffee ice cubes sound nice, and a refreshing drink on a hot day. Poor dogs and their paws.

do the best you can - keep out of ER both for humans and dogs - gentle hugs

Methinks Iced Tea would work too... I always dreaded February in Sydney - that is the month when it seems the whole summer rolls up and superheats and meets with the damp encroaching autumn to create high humidity and ...yeeecchh..... YAM xx
Oh my, that heat. Be careful. I don't want to see you ending up in ER or Beau at the vet.
So you just freeze coffee into cubes and then blend them with your soy milk? I can't say that I've ever had iced coffee.
Now I really want a Bullit! I have had different ones over the years, but gave them all to Goodwill because I never used them. Now I want one, I smell a trip to W.M. coming up. I have been hearing here about burnt paws! I bet your air conditioner is working overtime!
The Florida weather can get too hot.
I hope Beau's paws will be ok, I have seen some doggies wearing booties.
The flavored ice cubes are a great idea.
Take care, enjoy your day!
It gets worse in some places. I read of people falling in Arizona and starting to “cook” in melting asphalt. Yikes! Iced tea is grand I am sure, but a chilled Vinho Verde sounds more to my liking!
I do not envy you those temps!
David is right about the melting asphalt, and I remember a few years back when the traffic lights began to melt. Just yesterday a sales clerk told me his friend in Phoenix reported his trash container was melting. How I stayed out there 17 years is beyond my comprehension.
So glad you like the ice-cube coffee-turned-cappuccino! More fun and lots cheaper than you might find in one of those high-end coffee shops.
Horrible x 100000 weather. It cannot leave soon enough either. Good idea on ice cubes for you and I know Beau loves his
Hugs cecilia
I guess I won't complain about our heat here. We have had temps way above normal for weeks and no rain to speak of....very unusual for us! Prayers for you and your temps. xo Diana
Same weather pattern up here in Texas! I am so DONE!!!
Even our cats aren't trying to go outside!
Yesterday we went to Aldi and I lingered long at the refrigerated area for dairy - just stood there with the door open pretending to choose my items while I was actually enjoying the COLD!!!
We are lucky, the heat is starting to break here as the riny season moves in, we're only in the low 90s lol...
Hang in there!
I've been thinking of you and watching your weather, it's horrible! I love the idea of frozen coffee. Hurray for creativity and blogging friends!
It has been too darn hot here too. That frozen cappuccino sure sounds good!!!
The weather is so hot. That is really hard on the pets outside. Even Adam and Gabby's fake grass gets really hot. I still have to try those coffee cubs in the almond milk. Glad you enjoyed it.
It gets super hot every summer, but this one is extra bad because it has lasted so long. We get those 105+ feels like temps here too. And oh the humidity is gross. We are all hoping to see cooler temps soon.

Great fun with the ice cubes. Poor puppy paws.
