I spent a messy 30 minutes this afternoon and the dogs are all bathed. They don't get many baths, but since it has been so hot I figured this was the time to do it (starting tomorrow we have some rain in the forecast with cooler temperatures). They might get muddy but for now they have clean coats down to their skin. It only takes a few minutes per dog with the hose and a pressure nozzle out in the yard. Lots of treats offered after they all stopped running around the yard like crazy things.

I visited two grocery stores this afternoon and at both I bought a bottle of corn oil. It seems to have almost vanished from the store shelves. Lots of Canola (Canada Oil) and vegetable, but almost no corn unless it was in gallon containers. Another victim of the supply chain. The second store had plenty and oddly, the name brand was less expensive than the store variety. The grocery store trips now have to be in the window between about 8:30am and 2:30pm because there are several schools that I have to avoid because school started this week. A new charter school has managed to tie up the main boulevard in my area (parents picking up kids creep along in lanes on both sides of that street plus on the feeder street closest to it.)
