Hot Summer

It has been so hot lately!! Don't get me wrong, I love the summer, but it just seems to be hot-hot-hot. Because I work at home sans A/C I usually feel like I am the owner of a Turkish Bath House moreso than an Esthetician. I am really looking forward to some nice cool days and having the option of walking the dogs after 8:00 A.M. if I so desire I have found that when I'm really feeling the heat I like to think about cooler days and the Eskimo lifestyle.

I found this picture while perusing our CD's and it made me smile..........though when this storm hit I was anything but smiles. Tim was working in SanAntonio at the time and was due to fly home the next day, I in the spirit of solitude hadn't been the the store in a couple of weeks and knew that I had the potential to be hungry and alone for a few days, not to mention alone with 2 plump pooches.

Long story short I braved an adventure to Safeway and Tim had an invigorating 3 hour drive down from DIA. I still can't remember what I ate that day.....

So Pretty

Here we are at a super fun, Prom Themed, birthday party. It was back in May....almost 2 years ago....but hey, you rarely get a chance to get all gussied up!! I felt that we looked spectacular(without outshining the birthday beauty....Hi Jenni!)

Enjoy!!!

More puppy love

Because she is always in motion it's hard to get a good shot of how long her legs are......

Gunner Pork Chop

Gunner has gained some weight since the baby came home, so today he starts a diet. This is really quite a funny thing because for the first 5 or so years of his life is was a struggle to get him to keep weight on, but I guess that 7 is the magic number for him, he is officially middle-aged........and showing it around the waist.

Poor Pisty on the other hand has always gained easily, but the arrival of the baby has found her more trim. She is getting alot more excercise. Not to mention our squirrel, Willie Nelson, has been spending a fair amount of time out back taunting her.

And Quig of course is growing like a weed, and eating like a Hoover. She loves to gallop and pounce, and she is quite sure the world is her oyster.....I'm not inclined to argue the point........yet.

Getting Bigger

Miss Quigley is getting bigger, this picture is actually several weeks old.

We are enjoying her so much. She graduated from her Family Dog 1 class last week and did so with flying colors(in my opinion) Tim came to watch and he was very proud of her. Next step is Family Dog 2!!!

I truly love training with the dogs, it is so incredible to me when you really reach a point where you are truly communicating with your dogs.
