At the beginning of every summer I think my dog is starting to finally grow out of his puppyhood. As the days grow longer and hotter, he gradually loses a lot of his energy and behaves much more calmly. He still likes to run around and chase his ball but his stamina is significantly reduced from his normal amount.
However, it's just a trick that the heat is playing on both of us and, alas, he is still the same crazy young pup with an unlimited supply of strength. The last few days have been closer to normal temperatures and consequently his energy is back to his normal level again. Maybe he'll never slow down entirely but at least his rate of teaching lessons remains consistent.
