“After months of home quarantine, it was great to get away for a little vacation. Lounging by the pool was exactly what I needed to recharge the battery.” -Lucy Wright

dog by pond
This is my pup Baloo! He stays cool wading in the duck pond in Phoenix Park or catching a breeze under a tree. Going on walks with him has also kept me sane as I approach my USMLE Step1.

Moose keeps cool by wading in (shallow) rivers and streams! Need to get this 3-legged good boy a life vest so he can float in deeper waters!

dog getting a bath outside
We became a foster family for this little lady a few days ago. She’s keeping us busy and this morning we attempted a shampooing. The humans cooled off as we got soaked; hopefully she did too!
