Hunter's Revenge

Blake and I have black lab, Hunter, that turned 6 years old this month. After thoroughly cleaning under cabinets, drawers and beds to get rid of any lingering dog hair that Hunter left behind this winter simply to mess with our allergies this spring, we decided to put Hunter's dog bed in the attic for the summer. Its been SCORCHING hot outside already this year, which makes me really nervous that its just mid-June. Although we've attempted to keep Hunter comfortable outside with extra servings of cold water, shade and a daily bath, digging holes in our yard seems to be the best cooling method for him.

Today, Blake noticed a damp water spot in the back bedroom ceiling and after checking in the attic, he determined that the water was coming from the air conditioner. He called a local A/C company and requested an emergency visit. The receptionist suggested that we turn the air conditioner off until the tech could take a look, in case we were freezing the unit. It is now 85 degrees and rising inside our house. Apparently, we are freezing out our air conditioner trying to over compensate for the outside heat.

We have decided that this mildly uncomfortable afternoon was just a nudge to remind us of Hunter's misery. Now with the house beginning to cool back down, we are ready to pull Hunter's dog bed back down. We give in...karma you win!
