3.1 miles walked again today. UGH Index back up to over an 8 when I began and over 9 when I finished, and climbing! Clear blue skies but super high humidity and almost no breeze at all - YUCK!

Pool felt great, though, esp. wearing my 2-piece suit I bought last week. I also water-tested my 2 Lands End tankinis over the weekend and they passed with flying colors. They don't seem to dry as readily as my other suits, but then again, they DID get rained on.

Today is a household day and I MUST groom my doggies!!! Must, must, must!! I've postponed the grooming for too long now. They need their dose of Frontline and I refuse to do that until I get them well-groomed, so I've got to get it done.

Also on the doggy front...I discovered my dogs' food manufacturer is changing the formulation! What that meant immediately is that I went to PetsMart and they were basically out of the dogs' food! I talked to a manager there and she told me that the new product "display" would be up in a few days. That doesn't help. While my dogs weren't out of food yet, if I had to change their food, I should be slowly transitioning them right now. And, I was unprepared to make an alternative selection right then, as I'd like to go back and check with Whole Dog Journal.

Well...decided to try a brand that I thought was on the WDJ list as being a better food, and when I checked back at home, I was right. So, we're transitioning now.

Life was a whole lot simpler when we just bought what looked good at the grocery store. LOL! But these days, with all the recalls that have happened, I'm much more careful with what I'm feeding these two. It's just a bit aggravating when a brand I've been feeding my dogs for over 5 years makes a change in such a manner as to allow major pet stores to completely run out of the food - of either formulation!

Well, gotta run. Oven is getting cleaned and I've got to flip the shelves that are outside in the sun getting cleaned with a spray and the sun's natural heat.
