Can we finally say that it’s fall yet?

I don’t want to jinx it or anything, but I gotta say that the heat this year has been BRUTAL…and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter what part of the planet you live on.

It’s just been hot, hot, hot all over the place.

And that’s why I, for one, am more than ready for some cool weather.

But before we dive headfirst into fall, let’s take a look back at how terribly hot it’s been this year.

1. You gotta protect those paws!

The dog seems happy about it.

2. This is such a bummer!

You won’t make that mistake again, will you?

3. You know it’s really bad when you celebrate like this.

But you can’t really blame the guy, can you?

4. Don’t even think about going barefoot.

Australia just gets the craziest of…well, everything.

5. Come on inside and take a load off.

You did your good deed for the day.

6. That’s when you know it’s really hot.

Hot in the shade, huh?

7. Even the moose are having a hard time.

Thank goodness for nightfall.

8. That bunny sure needed a drink.

Way to help them out!

9. Do what you gotta do.

Whatever works, right?

10. Buddha’s had just about enough of this.

He looks like he needs a nap.

11. That dog needs a haircut in this heat.

Sweet relief!

12. That looks nice, doesn’t it?

Good boy!

How hot did it get by you this year?
