Bugs

Nothing like a few bugs to ruin a perfectly good picture!

In the River

I went for a walk with the girls today during my split shift and brought along the camera as usual. This time I was so hot, I joined them in the river. I tried not to think of the waste water treatment plant a few hundred meters upstream of me as I waded in the river. It never seems to bother Coulee or Lacey so why should it bother me. Right? I got some cute pictures of the girls though, so it was worth it.

The Look

Three Woofs and a Woo took pictures the other day of her dogs just as she was throwing the ball. I thought I'd give it a whirl today at work with Coulee.

It was funny, but not nearly as funny as Pixel.

Mosquito Hell

Amanda, Sandy and I went for a walk tonight. I think we should have a new rule. No more than 2 dogs each! We only took 6 dogs between 3 people and it was awesome! The dogs were all very well behaved (except Vito and his big mouth) and no major catastrophe struck us.

Pixel and Lacey had lots of fun wrestling. Click on the image to see those pearly whites large.

The expression on Pixel's face, is definitely screaming fun. ;)

Mira was posing pretty for the camera.

I brought two toys so Coulee wouldn't be the only one to actually play with a toy. Wicca managed a gravity defying retrieve.

Mira kept stealing the ball.

Vito moped on the shore.

Sandy was the only one laughing - she used bug spray. Amanda and I will be scratching all night.

Lacey was the only one brave enough to do what the rest of us were thinking... ;) (That is Vito's tail you see! What you don't see is him barking at Coulee.)

Pixel managed to get covered in dirt.

Lacey made me happy to have purchased a new collar. I bet Amanda was wishing she had bought one for Pixel.

And Coulee... Well she spent her evening fetching and having the time of her life. But we've all seen enough photos of that.

Roommate

We've had a roommate these past few weeks that I've neglected to blog about. The best kind of roommate a girl could ask for. Her name is Jackie. You may recognize her as one of the foster dogs we used to have. Her family went away for a few weeks and we jumped at the chance to visit with her again.

She has been a complete angel. She is great with Lu (she gives her kisses whenever she gets the chance), she is quiet, she is snuggly and best of all, she loves Lacey and Lacey loves her.

These two would play morning, noon, and night if they had the chance. I think the only reason they aren't playing right now is because Jackie is exhausted from 5 full days of daycare!

I'm sure in an hour or two she'll be rested and ready to go.

Jackie and Lacey are pretty evenly matched in their wrestling (or maybe Jackie lets Lacey win sometimes. I wouldn't doubt it).

You'll notice a distinct lack of Coulee in these photos. Coulee is too busy obsessing at the toy she has dropped at my feet to bother with the wrestling.

Lu

Some days I forget how beautiful she is.

Grey Day

It is a grey kind of day.
