We're meeeeeelting

[m.e.]

It's 93 degrees (feels like 103, thanks to humidity). This is Maine. Our bodies just aren't used to temperatures like this...

:thud

The cats look like they've been poured onto the floor. The bunnies are seeking shelter in my parents' air conditioned room. It took Peanut over twenty minutes to recover from the move. They're in a dog crate with the same grass mats, the same blankie, the same toys, same water bottle, a slightly smaller litter box. But any change is a radical change for her, and she rolled several times trying to get her bearings. She'd try to fall asleep, then have a vertigo attack when her head listed to the side, and it would start all over again. Poor baby. Even so, the move was worthwhile to keep them alive, and they're snuggling together enjoying the cooler air.

Now we wait for the thunderstorms to roll in and rid us of this perpetual sauna.

Hope everyone's staying cool and comfortable!

I hear you! It was about 96 here in MI and we're not prepared for this either! We get spoiled bc it rarely gets this hot.

Luckily,I have air so the buns are nice and cool...but its just terrible when you have to go anywhere! Hope your buns are adjusting to the new room..Im sure if given the alternative they would be giving you kisses for moving them!

Stay cool!

101 here in LA, with 98% humidity today. Wheeeeee! :thud

 

[peapoo_bunny]

really hot here to.. its been aweful.. especially when your parents take the two nice cars and leave you with a car that doesnt have air and the windows dont roll down:disgust:

It was 100F degrees here in CT yesterday and they said we will be up that high today too. All my rabbits have been in my basement (all 33 of them) because I can't leave them outside. They live in hutches in my backyard but there are NO trees so they have no shade!

All the males are spraying and thumping! All the girls are thinking, "Stay away from me!" I feel sorry for them all but at least they are out of the sun! Hopefully, I can put them back tonight!

We just finished with our heat! Hooray! The building I work in isn't air conditioned except for the offices, break room, and one tiny lab. It was so humid here that the little lab was coated in a yucky film. The printers jammed every time we tried to use them, even with dry paper from another area. Water had condensed on the ceiling and dripped onto one of the computer monitors and shorted it out!:shock:

Thank goodness I have central air at home!

 

[JimD]

....we broke a record high at 100 yesterday.

...and it's suppose to be hotter today.

:toastingbuns

 

[bunnydude]

How's this for scary:

I heard on the news yesterday that more people have died because of the US heatwave than have died in the Israeli-Lebanese conflict!

 

[jordiwes]

We had our heatwave and now we are back to our mid 70s with cool breeze. ahhhhhhhhh. The bunnies are sooo happy to be cool again, I've seeing more binkying then I have in a long time!

Don't mean to brag .

 

[peapoo_bunny]

it cooled down here today...its pouring rain..the most rain we've had in a long time...its flooding:bunnydance:

 

[JimD]

...it's 95

 

[Bassetluv]

It reached sweltering temps here the other day (117 deg F!), and I have no A/C. The most I can afford is a bucket of ice with the dog sitting behind it panting...:brat:

Bunnies have been staying in the basement, which remains quite cool throughout the summer (it's almost like one of those old-fashioned cellars that houses used to have). Of courseRaph and Annaget ticked off because they want to be outside, but I don't want toget home to findjust a puddle of fur where two bunnies once were, so indoors they come.

And for the past few nights we've had some wicked thunderboomers!! Oh, and in the outlying areas of Ottawa, down through parts of southern Ontario, they were on tornado alert. This summer is provingto have some crazy weather...but despite it all, I love it. :bunnydance:

Sharon, you had to bring 33 bunnies indoors??? YIKES! :shock:

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

Its 97 here.

 

[Starlight Rabbitry]

Yes...there is really no room downstairs with all the cages set up. I have 6 folding type cages that I bought from Walmart and 2 dog crates set up and about 4 carriers with the dividers taken out. Everyone is angry because the males want to breed the girls and fight the other males. It is kinda funny except when you hear them thumping in the middle of the night.

Good news is that the heat is supposed to break tonight so I will be kicking them back outside to their hutches around 10pm tonight! They will be sooo happy!!! Me too!! :bunnydance:

However, it is much less stressful than having to worry about them in this heat. There would be no way to keep them cool!

Where in the North Carolina are you? It must be the western part of the state. Im in the sand hills and not rain yet. Still 98.

 

[myLoki]

97 here too.

It's Texas though. We're used to the heat. Itterriblyuncomfortable, but fortunately it doesn't kill us.

I remember when I lived back in the Rio Grande Valley. We had a heat index of 120 one day. Now that is truly killer heat. It's just so humid down there being so close to the gulf.

I hope everyone out there is staying cool.

 

[Pet_Bunny]

We're a cool 19C / 66F right now.
Suppose to rain tonight and cool down to 9C / 48F :shock:

And we are having a rabbit show this weekend.
Don't you wish you were bringing your bunnies here.

Rainbows!

Now.....where did I put my flying monkeys?:witch:

Haley,
You say it's been hot in Michigan? Noooooooooo . . . My boyfriend and I are heading to the UP to visit his parents and (mostly) to escape the heat here in Pittsburgh. Oh well, at least the lake should be nice . . .
