Dog Days of Summer

These guys totally destroyed my lawn about two years ago. It was a little shabby to start with, but still ... I laid new sod last year. It's a little patchy this spring, but lookin' good, all in all. The dogs are allowed to play on the lawn on the weekends only. And then, they go all out ....

And the paddling pool came out for the first time today. You can see Gabe waited for about 2" of water before the first dip.

Archie is not a paddling pool guy. Here he is puzzling over how to get the ball out ... Gabe eventually hops in to retrieve it for Arch.

And we have a very special guest with us today: Miss Kona! Miss Kona's people had to go out of town for the weekend and their petsitting plans fell through, so Miss Kona came to stay with us for two nights. She seems to be handling her own mini-break with great aplomb.
