Waiting...

It is getting cooler here and I think all of us are getting impatient for truly nice weather to roll in.  We've had storms, high humidity, heat (it reached over 120 degrees this summer) and our favorite - haboobs.  We've managed to take the boys on two walks, which has been great since they have had no fun since Baron stepped on my foot.  They are short walks and slow, but they are still walks...

The boys are still looking for things to do.  Sam has taken up doing puzzles:
This would be easier if I had thumbs, you know...
At least the pool table is being useful!

  8. Haha - isn't it funny what Arizonan's consider "cooler weather"? How do you handle the heat with your long fur?

    Admit it - you're just eating the puzzle pieces. But you look like you are concentrating very hard. ;)

  35. Oh my goodness... what heat you have endured. I hope that it gets better very soon. Although it gets very very cold and snowy here in the winter, I have to choose that over the kind of heat that you're talking about in the summer!

    I bet that Sam is great at puzzles :)

  38. Ha! Ha! Sam - I love that picture! You're a very smart doggie to be able to do puzzles like that!

    I wanted to say thank you so much for all your lovely comments recently, especially when I had my glaucoma sickie. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to come over to say hello and catch up on your news. I loved your "Dog Days of Summer" photos!
