The bored dog of Summer....

Summer in Arizona is no fun if you are an adventure loving pup.  We've reached the stage where the only way we can have fun is to drive north.  ...and we will admit - it's too hot to do even that.

While Monty is content to laze around the house during the day, Harlow lets us know repeatedly that she is bored.

It starts with a sad stare...

So bored...

 Which eventually she adds little sighs too....

Sigh...

...and insanely uncomfortable poses...

Ouch!

....and the teeth!  Have I mentioned she knows how to use the teeth?

My heart is breaking!!!

...followed by a full out "Da-Momma-I-iz-suffering" gaze...

...and yes, I'm looking up real estate in Alaska as we speak!  ;)

Peace has returned to the village - or not!

Happy Birthday Harlow!

Our little Princess turned three yesterday, and of course we couldn't let it slip by without having a little bit of a celebration for her.  Of course we started off with pictures...

Both pups....

...and a royal portrait in front of the castle.

There was also cake.  I tried an egg recipe in the oven, and while it didn't quite come out as promised, I think the pups were still quite happy with it.  I added a smear of sour cream to the top - something that Harlow is crazy for!

How cute are these crown and heart candles?

Both pups loved it!

Nom nom nom....

Nom nom nom....

...and of course, what birthday would be complete without toys?

I love their expressions!

The pups did some mad wrestling with their new toys, and later on, I caught the Princess taking a rest with hers...

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
