Clear Skies

July 24, 2009

Young Bailey has taken over an important job that has been left vacant since the Diva left us in January.   Windy had a thing about Planes flying in our air space, she took her job seriously and would bark and chase them out of our yard.  It was a funny thing even ending up as a quote in a national dog magazine.  The last few days Bailey has been watching the planes that fly over our house.  We are on the flight path, not really low but you can hear them and see them.  Bailey has started barking and following them across the yard until they are out of our “air space”. 

It makes me laugh and cry, I’m glad to know our yard is once again safe from the airplanes.

Feeling better

July 20, 2009

Seems like everyone is feeling better around here after the weekend.  We had Watermelon Sunday and everyone enjoyed it.  Still some coughing, PJ, Lindy and Wicca are still coughing and Wicca didn’t feel good yesterday but today was better.  I’m hope we are past the worst of it.

Coughing and snorting

July 16, 2009

Poor Solstice dogs, looks like we have a case of Kennel cough at our house.  Charlie’s mom Cody’s son Ryan got two rescue Sibe, Sibe crosses and somebody had the cough, Charlie must have been the carrier.  Charlie sent last some time over here right after the 4th and then hung out with us on Saturday.  Yesterday PJ started coughing so I’m expecting the other to start any day now.  I had it at home once before years ago when I had a GSP rescue that brought it home from the pound, but there were not as many dogs at my house then only 3, now there are 6 plus the Flea next door.  Guess we will wait it out.

A Frost Report

Hey it’s me Frost!

I has been so hot at home that we aren’t doing much of anything.  Saturday Mom took us to the Farmer’s Market.  We hadn’t been in a couple of weeks and everyone was glad to see us back.  That was the extent of our travels this weekend.  We did have Watermelon Sunday today!  Mom bought us a Watermelon at the market, we love Watermelon Sunday.  We also got tomatoes from one of the vendors, special ones just for us dogs.  We love to go to the Farmer’s Market.

 Today we hung out, got in the pool and our neighbors came over for dinner.  I aways go and bark at them thru Grandma’s gate.  Larry doesn’t care, he always talks to me and their gang barks back.

We are hoping for a break in the heat so we can go do stuff, maybe then I’ll have more to report.

Trying to stay cool!

Happy 4th of July

July 4, 2009

I spent the morning at the 4th of July parade, not as a watcher but as a walker.  State Farm had a group in the parade and I volunteered to be a part of it.  The dogs weren’t invited but there were plenty of them there, it was fun to see all the people out with their families including their dogs.  Ginger and the Flea went to watch and pick us up at the end of the Parade.    We had a fun time, maybe next year the dogs will be invited.
