Dog days of summer

The dogs are looking forward to cooler weather.

Bonnie worked all summer. She's had some sunburn because nothing can keep her indoors.

She always has time for Frisbee or to amuse herself.

She learned a new line dance...

Chloe got a summer haircut. She's 6 years old now, this was her second summer getting cut. Alabama is awful hot for a dog with such a thick coat. It seemed to build her self confidence, but she had to fight off her nasty roommates. They kept mounting her that first week. Everyone wanted a piece of the new Chloe!

It's called the fox cut. Foxy Baby!

She still sleeps in her favorite spot. She and Sam both have a favorite vent.

Toby always finds a spot of shade or a lawn chair.

This post was inspired by a poem I remembered from my childhood.

Sunning

Old Dog lay in the summer sun,
Much too lazy to rise and run.
He flapped an ear at a buzzing fly.
He winked a half opened sleepy eye.
He scratched himself on an itching spot,
As he dozed on the porch where the sun was hot.
He whimpered a bit from force of habit,
While he lazily dreamed of chasing a rabbit.
But old dog happily lay in the sun,
Much too lazy to rise and run.

— James S. Tippett

I hope your dogs are having a good summer.

  1. these dogs are so adorable...
    specially Chloe, she's so beautiful...
    it seems that all of them have fully recovered
    from their past...
    thank goodness and to all those people who rescued them...

  3. I have a loer-boy Toby that looks just like your Toby, but his hair is not as long! I feel the same way about my Toby that you do! He was sent from heaven.
