Two Dogs and a Towel


Hello!  These pics follow the interlude with the hose which I shared before.  Wally and LuLu got good and wet helping Rich wash the car, so after they (ahem) put the hose away they enjoyed a toweling off.  Naturally, it all turns into a game.  Everything is fun for these guys.

Here’s LuLu finally ready to settle down.  They’d had a big day playing in the sunshine.

We’re all enjoying spring here.  A little rain, a little sunshine. . . I’d better start planting up those pots so I can have some May flowers!

Two Dogs and a Hose


Rich washed my car the other day and the kids helped him put the hose away.  Usually they’re real gentle with it, but after this tug of war Rich said he hoped it wasn’t a sprinkler hose.

Wally likes to flip it over his back and wrap himself up in it.

LuLu is wondering where the water is.  See that little shaved patch on her foreleg?  That’s from the IV she had during her hospital stay.  She’s feeling much better now.

Of course, everything ends up in a big puppy pile.

They look happy, don’t they?  That’s all that matters.  Hope you have a happy day, too!

Spring 2015


Hello!  Long time, no post, but now that spring has sprung I’m feeling much more like being out with the camera.  Our little LuLu, as many of you know, had a bout of very scary illness, but she’s feeling much better now.  Here’s the little critter as we speak. . .

Oops, wrong end, but isn’t that the cutest curly bottom?  Here you go. . . she was after a ball.  Actually, she likes to pretend the ball went into the bush and she’s having a hard time retrieving it when, in truth, she put it there, herself.  Wally just wants to continue his game of fetch, but that’s what he gets for giving the ball to LuLu.  He’ll retrieve it for us, but he won’t let go of it (unless we’re on the back porch – there’s a reason for that, another story, another time).  Maybe we should try biting at his leg.  That’s LuLu’s trick.

Below is a vibrant color combo outside my kitchen door.  That’ll wake you up in the morning!

And here’s LuLu again with her raggedy tennis ball.  She’s under the smoke tree which is just starting to leaf out.

We’ve been staying close to home, increasing activity slowly.  Wally is showing signs of starting up with the colitis again, so I continue to watch closely.  Thank you all so much for your concern and well wishes.  Have a happy day!
