I’m old and I’m tired, but most of all I’m just so very very hot. Couldn’t sleep last night because of the heat but today it’s so much worse. I haven’t been out yet but that’s ok, I don’t want to. I just want to find somewhere cool to lay down.
Here we go, the kitchen floor is cool. I’ll just lay here for a while......bliss.
Oh no, what’s this! My human says it’s time for walkies. I love walkies but surely not today! She has her thin clothes on and flip flops. I wish I could take this thick coat off and slip into something more comfortable but I can’t.
We start walking. Ouch! My feet meet the hot tarmac of the pavement and it’s burning! It hurts so much. I try to walk faster but I can’t and I start to pant to try and cool myself down. We keep walking along the melting pavement. Every step burning my pads. I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I’m in agony. Please take me home now. I didn’t ask for walkies.
Then my human stops to chat to another human. They chat and chat for what seems like ages, all the time my sore burnt feet sticking to the tarmac. I look up at her with desperate eyes, still panting but now I feel tired too. I feel hot from the inside out, like my insides are cooking. I need to lay down for a while and close my eyes.......
The next thing I remember is waking up in a beautiful field and it’s cool and my feet no longer hurt. My human is not with me but it’s ok. I know she didn’t mean for this to happen.
