I can empathize with you @bigtom13! We just went through two weeks of 42-44C with 70 - 80% humidity every day. That is our usual before the rainy season begins in full swing. We have had Tropical storm Amanda sitting off our coast for 4 days and now we have Tropical Storm Crystabal heading towards us.
We had large dogs and a dog door when we lived on a farm in Canada. It ended up being screwed shut after a gaze (large group) of raccoons decided to raid the kitchen one night. Where were the dogs? Sleeping by the fire in the living room!
Our Monsoon season officially begins on June 15th. Generally, for me it's a time of relatively high humidity with impossibly high temps, up to 48C. Ugggghhhh.
We had raccoons but the dog took it on himself to keep them away from his food bowl, and consequently outside. But I was always worried about the skunks (we had a resident female) because the dog didn't mess with them at all after one engagement :)
Do you have any idea how much tomato juice it takes to deoderize a 160 pound Rottweiler?
Yes, I do! My Lab Newfie and the Mastiff Lab cross were very curious about skunks until that fateful first encounter. Both came running to the house, tails between their legs and howling. Te first gt it straight to the face and chest. The second full flank. Put me off from drinking tomato juice ever again.
