Our Creatures (Great and Small)
Here are some pics of what our pets have been up to.
Dakota had her first bath at the self-service dog wash. This will be a nice option in cold weather. She wasn't crazy about it, but it was easy to use and very convenient, especially since we didn't end up with suds and dog hair all over the house!
Not many days afterward, Dakota came to the door looking like this--excessively happy and covered with mud! I told her to show me what she'd done and she brought me to the muddy hole she just dug and rolled in. Uggghhh!
These pictures actually don't give you anywhere near the idea of how filthy she was. She got a bath from the hose this time!
At the end of the swimming season, one of the nearby pools has a special party just for dogs. They call it the Dog-pool-ooza. Dakota thought it was a riot! She didn't spend much time in the water (next year we'll bring toys) but she had a blast playing with her doggy friends. Some of her pals from the kennel were there and she was delighted to see them again. There were even vendors with all kinds of dog treat samples and coupons.


Let us not forget our dear Slippers, who was helping me make Carson's new curtains on this particular day. Sometimes the way she sits makes me wonder if she was a rabbit in another life. She is a good kitty. She follows me around to tuck the children in at night. She curls up with Spencer and sleeps with him for a while. She also "catches" her toy mice and takes one to each bedroom. Then when I go to bed she comes to spend the rest of the night with me.
It's not a great picture, but there was a beautiful rainbow one evening. We could see about 3/4 of it from our backyard. I love that fresh feeling in the air after a good rain.
