In The Company of Lions

It's been so hot and dry here this summer.  I still get out to soak in some sun, but now it's in smaller bursts.

I can't imagine my great, great, great relatives in Africa, out in that heat every day.  But it does feel good on my old bones.  I'll be 9 years old in a few days.  Mom says she can't believe it because I used to be such a little stinker, but now I'm a 'Goooood boy!'

My sisters can hang out in the heat all they want...

.... but I know the secret cool spot.  I'm no dummy and know the nice cool air from the machine falls right on my couch.   Aaaahhhh....
