When they said it was up to 105 at about 5:30 I brought the dogs in for a while and we all stayed quiet and tried not to warm up anything any more than it already was. Supposed to be just about as hot again tomorrow. When I let them out, after about an hour, the sun had shifted behind the trees some and they were so happy to be out the ran around like crazy things and probably warmed right back up to where they had been. ;-)

I made an appt tomorrow to see the nurse practitioner at my GP's office. I'm not going to let the poison ivy get so bad this time before I get something to treat it. Every year I get it a few times, as I did this weekend out picking grapes. It drives me nuts for a few weeks (at most). I actually tried spraying my dog's Rx on the stuff today--it seems to have helped. I guess if my GP can't help maybe it's time to refill my dog's Rx for her topical steroidal spray for her allergies.

(I know, I know. But the vet uses some of this stuff on himself--the last ointment I got for the dog's sore toe, he said he uses it on himself and it works great. I need to find out more about this spray and if he uses it.)
