Sofie likes to relax under the big tree in the mulched yard. No grass has grown there for a very long time. Not only is it fun to lie on, you can chew sticks at the same time.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Louise didn’t look much different in summer 2013 than she does today – taking her usual 100 degree nap on the deck.
Too hot to move much.
Enjoy your Sunday.

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!

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!

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!

Photo from back in 2012. Louise was hoarding the toys even back then.

We are digging (literally) the shade and trying to stay cool.
Mom said we can stay out until dark if we want.
She wants us good and tired before everyone starts shooting off fireworks.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

The girls love running around the docks.
In between boats are lots of hidden alleys with ducks, cormorants, egrets, and more.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Both dogs THINK they want to be in the bathroom with me whenever I go in. Sofie loves to sleep in the steam while I take a shower. Louise, as you can tell from ‘the look,’ thought this was going to be more fun.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

No room to sleep in my own bed!
Have a wonderful SUN-day!
