The weather has finally cooled off. We've actually had Fall weather. The dogs are Very Happy!! Ever since Mikey arrived here, its been too hot in the middle of the day. Since it has cooled off, I find myself coaxing him to come outside in the middle of the day. "Come on out, Mikey, its not horribly hot..." At first he wouldn't come. I'd have to put a leash on him, and bribe him with treats. He's getting over his belief that it is painful to be outside in the middle of the day. Poor thing, he sure did hate it. In fact today, I looked around and wondered where Mikey was, and there he was outside. All by himself, outside in the early afternoon.
