How to beat the heat in McKinney, Texas!
Texas summers can feel like it's as hot as the surface of the sun!
We have found a way to combat thi
s oppressive heat! A highly specialized, personal misting system.
Our two Golden Retrievers, Bailey and Baxter, are so glad that we built them their very own swimming pool!
Once a week, we take time away from Real Estate to beat the heat.
It starts the moment we turn on the outside speakers. Their excitement starts to build. Once they see the bathing suits, the barking to go outside begins. We gather our belongings, towels, sun glasses, and a good book. With a quick stop at the dog drawer to pick out a couple of choice tennis balls.
You'd think that it would be hard to stay cool in this Texas heat ... not at our house!
Our low rent misting system runs on renewable energy!
It works like this.
I throw the ball.
Two dogs jump in the pool to retrieve it.
Two minutes later, they are back with the ball.
Then they shake all that cool pool water all over me and my paperback book!
It's all fun and games, but there are several challenges.
Shielding the sunglasses from the "misting system" so I can still see in order to read.
Throwing the ball again and again and again without going over the fence.
If I don't throw the ball, it gets nudged into my ears or face ... not so tasty!
Finally, wearing them out ... never happens!
Cell phones do not seem to survive our ritual. Several have met with an early end!
We love to beat the heat together this way in McKinney, Texas!
