This week has been a long and steamy one, but the great news is it’s the weekend, Wheated is finally open and serving fabulous pizza, and next week is a short one. Stay hydrated and take a dip, throw on a jaunty accessory and your perfect shade of lipstick like msdmonez‘s dog above, and get ready to have an awesome Saturday and Sunday–and remember to keep your creatures feeling their best in the heat, too–oh, and tag your local animal photos #ditmasbark! See you in July.
