Beating the Heat (9329 views) My nephew took this picture of his French bulldog, Stella, and her best friend, Rudy, the Golden, trying to stay cool in the summer heat.
This is my neighbour's nine-year-old golden retriever, Santana. He comes over regularly for a doggy treat and is super friendly. We recently adopted a kitten from the SPCA, Charlie. Santana and Charlie tend to only meet through the window. I snapped this picture as they were gazing through my window. It seems they want to meet "in person" but Charlie isn't allowed out!
