Dennis' Day Off

Here is the gallery.

I try to think of the dog's perspective. A new dog will come in not sure of his environment then loosens up over time. It is wonderful to see. Dogs that come regularly know the dogs and environment and have familiar faces. It's like being invited to a party with long lasting friends or finding yourself just meeting everyone. Every dog finds their enjoyment as all our dogs are quite welcoming. I love that about them. 

I think Nathan took a video of Misty, Elvis and I think Mr. Bean - 2, I believe. I will upload them in a few after I do this blog.

It was really hot today but the dogs enjoyed going in and out. I hosed the deck and tiles many, many times so their feet was always cool. 

There is one dog, who will go nameless that I am combing out a couple of times a day as they keep going into the pool. We are ALWAYS out with them so it is not an issue but he's a water dog and well it is hot!

I put a ton of ice cubes in the bowls and they LOVED it. Of course the water went every which way but they had fun pawing it and trying to grab the cubes. The dogs love creativity. I do too as I experience it through their eyes. 

Tomorrow we have the family here at 730am into the night and on Saturday we have the grandkids here till 10ish as our daughter is throwing a birthday party and we are babysitting. Then early Sunday they depart, I think. Then we resume our regular schedule. That means I won't feel totally exhausted. Imagine that. I have gained perspective on what exhausted really means. LOL
