What a horrible day (don't read if your too sensitve to dogs)

I came home from work last evening, and there is a hose with a sprayer shooting up into the air.
This is usually how the kid downstairs cools down in the summer, running in and out of the spray, wasting
water. But I see him walking around in his clothes. So I turned it off. he said his grandmother
did that and I should leave it the way it was. I said, 'like hell.' I hate wasting water.

Her theory, i am sure, was that the air would be cooled and the dogs would be happy. I have discussed this
with her before. The one thing the dogs are most scared of is the hose. Spraying water into the air and onto
the patio is PUNISHMENT. Not only does it banish them to their doghouses in fear, (a damn hot place in 104
temps) but it's not like they are going to lay down on the wet patio even if they would get near the hose.
So I filled up the wading pool, put a big fish tank pump in there to shoot water into the air, and put a fan behind
all of that. NOW THAT WORKS, and it doesn't waste water. I hate to see dumb people owning dogs. Not that
the guy you are talking about is dumb, but in general, not making damn sure they have water no matter what
odd thing might happen to throw a kink in your best laid's, is pretty bad in this heat.
