Fido + Fluffy's #FreebieFriday Heads to the Lake

Well, there's no doubt that we're now smack dab in the middle of summer…temperatures have hit 100 degrees and continue to soar to that level every day. With a heat index pushing 108 degrees, we've been spending a lot of time enjoying our air-conditioning…but finally decided it was time to break away and cool off the old-fashioned way with a trip to the lake.

Our favorite local lake is Inks Lake, where a very dog-friendly state park makes Irie and Tiki's short list of favorite Texas getaways. While Irie and Tiki aren't kayakers like the dog we saw loving his time on the water, they like nothing better than wading in the granite-lined shallows…

…and watching the Canada Geese that winter here…but this flock seemed to decide that it would make a good summer home, too…

We hope you'll take time from your summer fun to enjoy our weekly Fido + Fluffy's Freebie Friday blog hop which we co-host with To Dog With Love and CatTipper! Some of the giveaways below are our giveaways–but others are found elsewhere on the Internet. If you're a blogger with a pet-related giveaway, be sure to link up! Please link directly to your giveaway, not to your home page. (PLEASE don't link to non-giveaway posts.) We post a new blog hop every Thursday afternoon at 4pm ET.

And please enter some of the giveaways! You never know when you might get lucky!
