But guess what? It’s in the high 90’s with high humidity now and for the next 10 days, supposedly! No rain in sight either. Whew! When you have an off-grid house, keeping cool is a struggle. We do have a small, window AC unit that Will put in yesterday. But it’s small and our house is medium sized. So, it doesn’t really cool it off but a few degrees. Will and Hondo go down to the basement, where he has a chair to sit in. Hondo lies on the cool floor. It’s 50 down there so they’re nice and comfortable.
On Saturday, we drove 8 hours down to the Wisconsin Dells to meet and pick up our new dog. Glitch, now named Gypsy as a glitch is a mistake and she sure isn’t that. She was transported up pony-express style, by volunteers for the Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Rescue (MAD), through which we adopted her. These wonderful people brought her all the way from Dayton, Ohio, making a one-day trip. I took our new girl for a potty walk while Will and Becky, the last gal in the transport team, unloaded her stuff (her foster mom sent her food, toys, a blanket, heartworm meds, etc. with her). Poor Gypsy was so scared of everything. Now she’s settling in and learning the ropes. Such a sweet, loving girl! She’s already learned to trot next to our solar powered golf cart and is in love with me. She even gives hugs!
Now folks, on a different note, everyone pay attention, especially those who may have emailed me! My email got hacked by someone impersonating me, saying I had fallen and “broken my femur” and needed surgery. The next email “I” sent was asking if folks shopped at Amazon, etc. Giant Red Flag! NO, I HAVE NOT BROKEN MY LEG AND I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NEVER ASK ABOUT WHERE ANYONE SHOPPED OR ASK FOR MONEY OR GIFT CARDS, ETC. NEVER!
If any of you have gotten this email, please delete it! This is so awful! — Jackie
She is sure cute! That ear, oh my goodness! I hope you enjoy her for a long time.
Such a Beautiful expression on Gypsy face Both are blessed with each. Such Wonderful people to foster,transport Hackers are an abomination. Take Care in this heat wave! Thank The Lord you have your basement. Remember, early morning s work. Staying out of the outdoors once heats up is a win win.critters need fresh water but humans can escape the outdoors to cool off with
My all time favorite Pickle juice! Take care Everyone
Here in Copper Basin Alaska we were sweltering in 75 to 80 degree the last three days (90’s in wide outnumbered hoop houses and green house). Today. It’s showers and 57 at 1 PM! Your dog looks great! My dog, Denali, who is 13 has been snuggling me all morning. Hope you all keep as cool as possible! At least it’s not full blown canning season; can it or loose it!
Jackie,
I got the email which said you broke your leg. They actually sent me the email address for someone that you supposedly wanted to have me send a $200 gift card to, and I looked at that and thought, I don’t think Jackie sent this. So I was feeling guilty about not doing something for you and I was scrolling my email when I saw this email, explaining this
whole thing. So, you didn’t fall, and you are ok? Thank goodness if that’s true. I would help
you any day but somehow that email just didn’t sound right. So no loss but a bunch of messing around for you getting your followers informed.

What a beautiful dog!! I think you will have lots of fun with him.
Oh that is terrible about the hacker. Shame on them! Yes its hot. I am in WI and get it after you!
Hackers are awful! My cousin had that happen too. I’ve heard on the news how much money they steal, and that there are often foreign warehouses full of trafficked people that are forced to scam innocent people. Such evil!
Weather here is hot & dry. Grass is crunchy. I’m watering what I can and trusting God will provide what I can’t.
Gypsy is a gorgeous girl, gotta love those ears!
I got that hacked email and sent you a condolence email. Sorry to hear you were hacked but glad no fracture. It seems everyone is getting “hacked” on the internet. We never had air conditioning for years. It seems the weather is warming up. I work in the gardens early and quit after a couple hours. I’m now enjoying a homegrown meal-hamburger/raw onio, broccoli, green beans. I listened to a podcast about the inflation with groceries. Prices are going up. We will all have to adapt physically and financially. Enjoy your new “companion”.
Amen to email hacks. I get the regularly from our “pastor”.
Keep cool . It is hot nearly everywhere.
So sorry about awful hot/humid! And how great you have another companion! Rotten hackers!
We know you are one honorable lady!
Keep your cool now!
