Louise stands at the edge of the deck for the longest time. I guess she is surveying her territory. On the other side of the pool is a busy bird feeder and there is always a lot of activity going on. This is a really good vantage point from which to see if the villainous squirrels are stupid enough to come into the area. I feel sorry for the squirrels in our yard because when I let the dogs out – zoom, zoom, zoom – they know just where the squirrels are going to be and they run them up the trees, fences, and power lines.
I love this shot because it really shows off Louise’s milky rear toes. The nails are white in those spots and black everywhere else.These are truly the DOGDAZ of summer.
Have a wonderful black and white Sunday!

If It’s a box – then I sits!
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

I want to be as close to Mommy when she is working as I can. So I get right under her chair. Sometimes she doesn’t realize I am there and she rolls on me…. Ouch!!! It is worth it to be with her all day, don’t you think? – Sofie Bear

Sofie has very little patience in this terrible heat (105F degrees (41C) again today). I really cannot blame her, but I thought it would be cute to match her impatience with the impatiens plants. Another name for them is Touch-Me-Nots. That kind of describes how we all feel in this heat.
She’s losing her impatiens. Mommy made a funny. She was not amused.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

It is 105 F degrees today (41 C).
Nine doesn’t understand that he would hate it outside.
So, he is giving me that look.
You know the one.
The look that says, “how come you and the dogs can go outside but we cats have to stay indoors all the time.”
I hate when they give me ‘that look.’
Sorry lil’ boy, it is for your own good.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Dog-gone it’s hot! These must be the DOGDAZ (dayz) of summer.
We have so much fun swimming with Mojo and Zelda in their dog pool.
Those Labradors love to swim.
Lulu will not get in the water, no matter how hot it is. Maybe it is because she is more of a Hound dog than a Lab. Who knows? She hates to get wet.
Sofie love love loves to get down and splashy. It takes 3 days for her Sheltie coat to dry but she doesn’t care. BarkOutLoud!
Have a great Wednesday!

Mom keeps taking us for walks on these terrible hot and humid days when all we want to do is sit in the grass and pant. Doesn’t she understand that dogs are not meant to be outside on days like this. She should move somewhere that the weather is always nice, like California. We hear that you never have to cancel anything in California because the weather is always beautiful. But then again, we also heard the ground shakes sometimes and there is drought and fires and mud slides. I guess a few humid weeks in the Mid-Atlantic may not be so bad after all.
What mischief did you get into today?

Sofie is getting ready to help with the raspberry harvest. They came about a week early this year, I guess because of the weather being so mild. The birds hide in the hedge and disappear them very quickly if we don’t get out early. Every morning when the dogs and I check the pool, I have a pre-breakfast of fruit right from the bush. I got smart this year and put a bunch in the freezer for August. Have a wonderful Sunday!

One of my all time favorite K8 shots of Noel. Hard to eat when you have 6 vultures waiting to pounce on whatever is on your plate. Sometimes I think the cats are worse than the dogs. The dogs understand ‘leave it!’ I haven’t been as successful training the cats.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

I could say nothing, because it is Wordless Wednesday and this picture could stand on it’s own, but I want to tell you what this picture means to me.
——————————————-
Gosh, how I miss you Squash E Bear.
I miss our cuddles and our long walks, just me and you.
I miss the way you would know exactly where I was at all times, even when your eyes could not see anymore.
K8 was right, you were an angel in fur sent especially for us.
Thank you my lil’ man, for sharing your time with us.
We still miss you, even all these years later, every day.
Your passing was the reason I started DogDaz.
You are part of my soul, forever & always.
