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!

This is a Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Thanks to BlogPaws for the hop. Head over there and see what they are blogging about.

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.

Happy Wordless Wednesday

These are actually pictures from several summer’s ago.
Same long tongues this weekend.
The girls were just pups back then and the docks were upgraded years ago.
Summer time fun!

Independence is not something to be taken for granted. There are so many people to thank for the wonderful life I are able to have. Thank you to all the people who fought to give us the freedom that we so enjoy here in the United States. Happy birthday to the USA. Here is hoping age brings wisdom in 2016.
Enjoy your weekend and remember to keep your pets inside tonight and turn up the music really loud to drowned out the fire crackers.
