And 100!

Tuesday we saw the hottest day in a long long time.  It was so hot, it made the rest of the days in the high 80's seem like a chilly day (almost, but not really).  On Tuesday it was projected to be around 107 degrees but I think it only got about 102 which is still pretty dang out!  I can not image with the desert areas were like the inland empire (aka Riverside) as that is where all the heat goes to get trapped between the mountains and just stews there, literally.  Had to run the AC a bunch of times but tried to endure as much as I could but the poor dogs were panting a lot.  So did what I could to keep them as cool as possible, even the nights were warm but mainly due to having next to zero breezes.  One thing to be thankful for, no fires as we quickly go into fire-season.

Weekly Update:
So with 4th of July coming up soon, I am trying to figure out how to keep my younger dog calm and not shake and be scared all night during the 4th of July fireworks (and weekend for that matter).  I close all the windows, turn music or a loud movie on (by the way a loud movie with big explosions does not bother him at all!!), a thunder-shirt and trying to cuddle with him.  But he still gets freaked out and trembles all night long, paces, pants and whines.  A friend of mine has the same problem with her dog (which is maybe a third the size of mine) and suggested calming treats.  For their dog he only requires one or two but I guess for mine at least 3 or more.  During Memorial Day weekend and Father's Day weekend there have been some light fireworks but nothing major.  I did try a couple on Memorial Day weekend and the results are inconclusive right now.  The fireworks were very scarce and stopped pretty early, like by 10PM.  So I hope these treats will do the trick, otherwise I am going to have a very restless 4th of July weekend.

At the movies:
New at #1 this week is The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard with 11.7 million to open. A very low number but possibly not many decided to take Dad to the movies for Father's Day.  Drop down to #2 again is "A Quiet Place: Part II" with 9.4 mil extra and continues to soar into the 100 mil world at 125 mil cume.  Drop down to #3 is "Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway" with 6.1 mil and will continue it's hop down the charts.  Holding ground at #4 is "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" with 5.2 mil as it passes the 50 mil mark.  Rounding off the top 5 and holding is "Cruella" with 5.1 mil as it continues the climb to 100 mil but unlikely will achieve it.
