The Dog Days of Summer are not all they're made out to be

Today Mom left me in the kitchen with a bowl full of ice cubes, but even that didn't help. It was so hot. So hot that I lay on the kitchen floor and dreamt about being a hairless dog. She had sprayed me with water before she left, but I'm not overly fond of that. When she came home, she took me outside and dunked me in the pool, but that didn't help cause the water was warm. So she brought me in and turned on all the air conditioners.  After I ate my dinner, Dad gave me the best treat ever! It's called frosty paws. I can't believe that they've been forcing me to eat lamb and rice kibble when this exists! It's the best food ever!
