Anyone else and dogs ready for fall?

Yes! It's been 110+ around here and it's making the thunderstorms HORRIBLE. We've had two power outages, 3 electrical storms, and two tornado landings in the past two weeks! Screw this! I just hope a hurricane doesn't get in the gulf...because if so, I'm out of here. Fall doesn't start until November here, and we don't really have a Winter.
I haven't minded this summer; even with the super hot days we've had, both Meg and Gusto will still go on a decent hike/swim. But this is the first year I've ever been dying for it to be over. Gusto can't compete until at least November, and I'm twitching waiting for it to get here! Forget fall - bring on winter!
Now that Finnegan is three, and has truly inherited his full coat that his grandpa has, and being black factored, he abhors hot days. He lasts ten minutes at a time on 30 degree celcius and hotter days. And I've yet to get him to like being in water. Therefore, unless I hose him, which I often do, hot days are annoying for the both of us.
I am so jealous of all you northerners. One day I will move up north. I love winter and hate the heat. Oklahoma is not the place to live for that.
Temp this next week is over 100 all week.
My dogs do okay in the heat if I give them a lot of water and a lot of breaks but I miss getting to go hiking and stuff.

Ugh, today is gross. It's "only" 85 but the humidity is sooo gross. It's just so sticky.
I would love to live in Colorado one day. I loooveee it there weatherwise. My uncle lives out there.
Jackson would stay out in snow all day long. But in the summer, the only way he enjoys being outdoors a lot is if he's soaking wet.
The only thing I dislike is getting dark early. Really depressing.

This 74 degree weather is just killing me Completely serious - anything near 80 is a heat wave, and 70s is uncomfortably warm. I'm not enjoying the clear skies and harsh sun, either. We did have some drizzle a day or two ago, though.
Low 60s, overcast, and breezy is my ideal. And Trent's a winter/snow dog at heart!
