Murderous Heat

Woof! Dear Diary! I wanted to update you yesterday but the heat, oh the heat! True to the forecast, the temperature was at a murderous 42 degrees! Bush fires broke out in some places and there were reports that at least 10 homes were destroyed! I felt like I was surrounded by active barbeque pits! The evaporative cooler at home was crap! I had to practically glue myself to it to feel the, oh wait, I wanted to say cool air but it was just hot air being blown around! Mommy and Daddy, like the others, sought relief in the malls where they said the air-conditioning there was strong and, most of all, FREE (are they cheap skates or what?). Anyway, they were there for a long time and when they came home, Mommy complained she couldn't stand the heat again and they took off to the movies. I think they went to watch a show by some nanny whom they thought was convincingly hideous with her warts and bizzare buck tooth. Anyway, when they came home again, I gave them ugly looks because they haven't brought me out for 3 long days. They reckoned it was too hot to go out but I didn't take no for an answer this time. I mean, The Herald Pee & Poo wait for no dog and they archive every 3 days! Just like they enjoy human tabloid, I like my gossip lampposts! In the end, they relented! Dear Diary, humans are so easy to manipulate. Heh.
