fridays with asa: for khyra and cousin merdie


friends, it's abysmally warm today, and quite frankly, my little grey cells are ill prepared for the task of blogging.  all a canine desires to do in extreme weather of this degree is quietly lounge, partake of refreshing drinks, and perhaps masticate on a bone every once and a while.  as such, i have elected to post my best amphibian-esque pose in a tribute to khyra and cousin merdie.
wishing you an afternoon of continuously restorative air conditioning breezes.
xoxo,
asa

addendum:  my apologies for the lacking quality of the above picture.  it would appear that my mom is also negatively impacted by soaring temperatures since she could not recall the location of the camera and utilized her blackberry as a last resort.

Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra and Khousin Merdie By Proxy
PeeEssWoo: The khrakhkberry khomes in khwite handy sometimes - since it is ALWAYS by my mom's paws, if she wants to snag a shot of the moment, she'll use it - she does miss that this 'Curve' doesn't have the flash her previous one did

That's an excellent position to maximize the cooling effect but it works best on a tile floor.

Your picture is probably better quality than what my mega cheap camera would provide!

Nice froggie doggie there.

We hear you on the heat - just oppressively hot here too. Lots of time spent on the cool floor or in front of the a/c vent.

Hope the weekend is cooler.

That Friday Froggie pose is one of my favourite ways to lie to, while I wait for better things.

Have a great weekend,

Unknown said...

LOL Your mom is so funny. The heat must be crazy!
That's a wonderful amphibian picture. What's even more amazing is that you managed to hide your front legs amazinly! Now you could be a frog-dog!

The Daily Pip said...

That's quite a pose! Do you do yoga?

Your pal, Pip

houndstooth said...

A most wonderful tribute to Merdie - I swear she is the most flexible doggie in blog land!

Golden Samantha said...

Your mama has a wonderful sense of humor, Asa and Booker! There are priceless shots that have not been captured cause Mom forgot her camera and doesn't even KNOW how to take a shot with her cell phone heheh! (She needs a grandpeep to remind her how!)
Hugs xoxoox

PS LOVE the froggie pose Asa - great one!

Dear Sweet Asa, we always enjoy your intellectual musings on life. We would encourage you to look into some good air fares and travel up here to Alaska where the air is always refreshing! xoxo Auntie Ina and your Cousins, Ginger, Toby, Jeter and Glamorous Diva Halle xoxoxo

D.K. Wall said...

Excellent froggie doggie pose.

Dexter said...

Yuh, seems like dogs and humans alike suffer from the weak mentals during prolonged heat.

The frogie pose is excellent for maximum privates exposure to cooling floors. Of course I, Mango, am unable to enjoy such a position being somewhat stiff of joint. Sigh.

Slobbers,
Mango

George The Lad said...

We have a little of that oppressive heat too, coupled with some loud and obnoxious storms. Stay cool, Asa and Booker Man. We'll catch up some more when the heat passes!

BRUTUS said...

I totally hear you Asa! It's the same way here, and mom drug me to a dog show - we were under a roof, but no A/C!! At least it looks like you got to take it easy!

Life With Dogs said...

Is it just me or is this heat wave causing serious brain drain?

Road Dog Tales said...

We think maybe it was the heat that fried our 'puter! We're still using a borrowed for a while.
Stay cool!
