It's not really that hot here yet, if we're looking at the temperature scale -- low 90s as the highs, seventies as the lows. But the humidity is smothering.
I walk the dog at dawn, when the day is still cool, but even then the humidity is a killer. Also, it soaks the grass at the dog park so that my shoes are wet all the time. (Yes, I only have one pair of shoes. I do have Birkenstock sandals also, but I don't like to wear those to, say, the library, because they make me trip on the stairs.) I suppose I could buy a second pair of shoes.
The dog is still not sure about the dog park. This was only our second day, since he just finished his immunization schedule on Monday. At dawn there are no other dogs there, so it's not that he's overwhelmed by other dogs. Just the new place. He was a little braver today.
Anyway, the weather site says a HEAT DOME, with high heat and humidity, is going to lay down on the SE half of the US for the next ten days, and Arkansas is in the region being DOMED. Ugh.
Thirteen more weeks of summer.

I think your dog is cute, good luck with everything!
Also I’m in Massachusetts and we are preparing for 100 degree weather early next week with plenty of hot weather this weekend and all week too. I just hate it actually. And I’m surprised how folks dont really know how to slow down and take care of themselves during this shit weather.
Heat index of 110 today

It's only in the low 90s here, but yeah, humidity jacks up the heat index.
