Posers

Some dogs love to pose - I guess like humans too. Not me - get that camera away from ME!

Here is the gallery.

It has been a day. Let's start with the good - it was hot and I swam. LOL. The dogs laid out and watched me and no one wanted to swim too. I actually wish they had. Did finally get them all combed out. 

I just laid on the raft and then the sun went away but oh boy it was muggy as hey. Dogs enjoyed it despite the heat. We put out huge plant saucers with water in it and a few decided to stand in it. 

We had a rabbit come out and oh boy some of the dogs thought that game was fun - the chase game. 

Now the not so good. Dennis was watering plants and tripped over the diving board. He fell on his tailbone and as he was falling clothes and all into the pool, he tried to break the fall and ended up with a swollen wrist that blew up. I now have to do the dishes. It is his right hand. He is bruised rather badly. I said ice but did he listen? Sigh

We also had changes that I had to do all myself with pups. I am so behind as I have extra on my plate. 

I think I am going to change our name to the Klutz family. 

On a good note the dogs LOVE LOVE Dennis so they knew he was hurt so they tried to kiss him up. Aren't dogs wonderful? They genuinely care. 

We had a ton of play today but no more run game for a bit. Dennis said he is going to try hide and seek. We shall see how that goes. He is like me. He can be down for the count but keeps going. It's interesting how Butch and Olive was so attentive to Dennis after the fall. Sure all the dogs congregated around him but those 2 were very attentive.

It was a day... yes a day. It's not over but we need to learn something from the dogs. They always manage to have fun!

Wishing Dennis a speedy recovery! Love how these havanese are so in tune to how we’re feeling. They are so lovable.

Late in reading your daily blog, oh no, not Dennis too! I'm thinking he should wrap the wrist a bit too, it might heal more quickly. But the bruising will take it's own time to heal.
Yes, the Klutz family, for sure.
