Dog Picture of the Day

Trey and I were lucky enough to escape to LA to go to Hank's wedding this past weekend thanks to Ann and Rachel. They divided and conquered and each took a kid...Meredith was also super amazing and stayed at our house to watch the dogs for us and because of those three amazing women, we were able to fully enjoy our quick trip.
Thanks Gals!!

Today was a beautiful sunny day. Kat came over a little before lunch with her dog Royal and we sat in the backyard watching our silly dogs play together...then we went to Blue C for lunch. It was the perfect lunch for a warm afternoon.

Penny and Tank spent most of their day outside wrestling or lounging in the sun.


August and Hazel both slept in a little this morning due to the fact that I turned my alarm off...all was well though as they only arrived a few minutes late for school. It felt so naughty for them to walk up to the school after everyone had already gone to class. I think it started them out on a good note.
Both kids came home happy and hungry. After a quick snack they ran outside and started playing with our backyard neighbors. August climbed a tree, Hazel slid down their slide. They played outside until dinner and then after dinner...they went back outside. It's been just great.

Then did come in for a quick break to attempt to do some origami...it didn't last long as both of them became very upset that they could not figure out the directions.

The day started COLD but the sky cracked at poured the sun down on our thirsty skin. The dogs have spent a record amount of time out in the backyard. Tank does this funny thing where he'll run laps around the yard. Penny only wishes she could keep up with him and often tries to cut him off through the middle of the yard...it's quite entertaining to watch. While Penny can not run as fast as Tank, she is quite crafty at escaping her backyard confinements. We had the side fence barricaded for a while but had to move things in order to mow the lawn. I thought that maybe she'd gotten a bit too big to squeeze through, alas, I was wrong...I'm comforted by the fact that she's escaping only to run up to the front door.
Hazel loves the sun almost as much as Tank and Penny do. Immediately upon coming home from school she retreated to the yard and began building things for fairies. I gave her some string and this is what she came up with:"It's a fairy suntanning thing."

Hazel snapped this shot on Easter while Penny slept.

Penny likes to take naps on my shoulders during the day...it's a good thing she does this cause it makes me think twice about giving her away to the highest bidder...she's driving me nuts right now!

Tank is going in to see the vet today because he has a cut in his ear that just won't heal. He continually scratches at it and shakes his head and last night it started bleeding again. Dang dogs cost so much money!! But they're so cute together, huh?

Come on now...they're cute together, huh?
Tank is so patient with his little half sister. She loves to climb on him and nap throughout the day. She's real good at doing this head tilt thing...it about drives me crazy with the cuteness!
