There were four seasons where I lived. Summer, summer-er, summer-est and then floods.

I haven't been alive long enough to see the floods but the summer experience was at its peak. At night my family would bring out the Ice box which let out cool air. For this they had to close the bedroom doors. That means I can't go out to pee!!

They had a solution. There was a cardboard box opened and lined with newspapers. It was kept in the corner of the room so that I could use it to pee at night.

This was ok sometimes but other time I couldn't make it till the box. This resulted in middle of the night clean up sessions.

It was very amusing to watch Anna step on the puddle in the middle of the night. She screeched so loudly and hopped into the bathroom on one leg to wash it off before proceeding to mop up the floor.

This went on for a while until I learnt to hold my pee until morning.

The nights went in smoothly but the days were hard. My fur was getting thicker and this made matters worse for me because it was really hot!

But Mama had an idea. Iced water bottles!!

That's right! Ordinary bottles filled with water and frozen..... I used this to cool off.

I would roll on it and hug it and push it around, it was fun! I even boxed with it :P

Soon it became a routine that I would get the water bottle everyday after lunch.

Sometimes they would give it to me twice if I was cranky or they wanted to distract me when we had visitors.

I have got to say.... that was an evil genius plan! 😜
