The Typist and I have decided to play this RevGalBlogPals bit together. See my answers first, then hers:
1. What's the high temperature today where you are?
Cub: Uh, hot!
Typist: The forecast is for 97 degrees, cooler than some recent days and some expected next week.
2. Favorite way(s) to beat the heat.
C: Either sitting on the top step of Ms. Lynn and Mr. Steve's pool, soaking up to my shoulders (Wet Dog Alert!), or stretching out on the cool tile in the front hall. OR, Frosty Paws.
T: My more selfish, sinful, and costly ways include cranking up the A/C and camping out under a vent, opening up the side-by-side freezer and standing where the door would be when it's closed, and turning the car's A/C on full blast even though I know it sucks power away from my dutifully functioning four squirrels -- er, cylinders. Less selfish, sinful, and costly, but also less available: wading in a chilly creek and falling down accidentally on purpose.
3. "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Evaluate this statement.
C: It's all of it.
T: I have to agree with the four-footed furry on this one.
4. Discuss one or more of the following: sauna, hot tub, sweat lodge, warm-stone massage.
C: I think those things fall under "Not for Poppies."
T: Sauna, no thank you. Hot tub, like 'em in the right weather (and this ain't it). Can't comment on the sweat lodge, but warm-stone massages are nice when they are a free upgrade from your regular massage.
5. Hottest you've ever been in your life
C: That time we were in the tiny room with zippers on the doors and windows, out by the lake and The Boy and I panted half the night and weren't allowed to go chase whatever was in the brush.
T: Ah, yes, the camping trip to Oklahoma. I think I'll agree with you there. (At least you didn't have you and The Boy panting directly ON you, like The Alpha and I did.)
Non-temperature related bonus: In your opinion... who's hot?
C: Rex and Tuxedo. But Tux was a little chunky the last time I saw him.
T: The Alpha, of course; also Nathan Fillion and I'm sure some assorted other musicians and movie stars I can't think of right now.

Oh now this wins the prize. Great post. I think my furbabies would agree with you on the pool, creek, or Frosty Paws.
It was really hot here today, but now we're having a thunderstorm, so I am headed up to the air-conditioned attic room with my boys.
OOH Nathan Fillion...good one.
yeah, camping in the summer is for the birds. or the dogs. i'm really quite lucky to be able to go there and jump in the water, then drive 10 minutes back to my centrally air-conditioned home to sleep. :)
We just watched an episode of Firefly last night, which heavily featured Nathan Fillion's, er, attributes. He's a cutie, but I liked him better with his clothes on...
Hey Cub,
Tell the typist to make ice cubes with beef broth. My mom person calls them pupsicles. They are yummy and cool.
