He's a Real-Life Hot Dog with a Cold

It was so excruciatingly HOT!! and humid and muggy yesterday that walking outside felt like waltzing right into a hot oven. My whole family's been feeling the effects of the hot & humid weather we've been having, but none more so than ma pauvre chiot (my poor puppy as I call him). He has his own room (yes it's true, in fact's he's got two mostly all to himself), but only one big fan, which doesn't do this horrid heat any justice. So yesterday I decided to give him a nice cool bath as a treat. You could tell he really enjoyed it. He got very quiet, cracked his famous doggy smile and wagged his tail happily. I dried him off thoroughly and gave him a treat for being so good. But this morning when I wake up all I hear are doggy sneezes, one after the other after the other. Mon dieu! Ma pauvre chiot has got the sniffles! Cute as doggy sneezes are, it worried me. Guess he's more sensitive than I thought.
