SNOW IN APRIL – DOG PARKS AND SWAMP COOLERS

Snowing in April

Warm Weather is Bad for Berners
It had been warm here in Albuquerque – highs in the low 70s. But Bernese Mountain Dogs were originally bred for Bern, Switzerland, and Bern’s summer temperatures rarely range above 75 degrees. I didn’t want our Berner Taylor to cook if it got any warmer. So I called Academy Plumbing and Heating to get our swamp cooler ready for summer. When he was done, my service guy Phillip said, “OK Mr. Bohrer, your swamp cooler’s ready to go. Just keep in mind this is Albuquerque, and we still could have freezing weather.”

That was around April 1 – no fooling.
