That's interesting and explains why Rodney climbed on a table and meerkated towards the ceiling fan sniffing like mad. So it wasn't to cool himself down but to investigate where the blowy air came from. He then looked at me and blinked with one eye which always cracks me up.

Ralph may like a bit of cucumber or watermelon in this weather as a snack. I find that ours don't eat as much when its hot but then again, i'd rather have a salad than a sandwich or an icecream, preferably.
