We discovered today that Jack's cheeks turn tomato-red when he's exposed to hot temperatures outside. The picture above was taken after we came home and he had a chance to cool down, so there's much less redness. It's weird because I don't even think he was that hot when we were outside; we were in the shade much of the time, and his skin didn't feel too warm.
Andy and I had taken Jack and Louie to the "Taste of Randolph," a street festival in our neighborhood. It was pretty warm outside (high 80's), but nothing too extreme. We'd only been outside for about 15 minutes when I noticed Jack's cheeks. We stayed at the festival just long enough to grab some food--Jack enjoyed some pizza and chocolate-covered banana.
Louie was also pretty wimpy in the heat. If he would have just drank some water while we were at the festival, I think he would have been fine. But for some reason, our dog who will eat trash and sticks, is extremely picky about the water he drinks. Several of the vendors at the festival had doggie water bowls out, but Lou turned his nose up at all of them. So by the time we headed home, he was a panting mess. We must have been a sight as we walked, what with Jack's flourescent cheeks and Lou lagging behind us with his tongue lolling out of his mouth. Anyone who looked at us must have thought we'd been dragging them around in the heat for hours.
Here's a couple other pictures from this afternoon. Jack likes to climb on Daddy's bosu ball.
He's also a big fan of Lou's dog bed.
And finally, a little plumber's crack to round things out.

Both Aaron and Adam's cheeks turn bright red when they're warm. It's quite the indicator!
