Dog Days of Summer #28 - Running/Jumping

For today's topic, we decided to try a horse of a different color!

This is Baron, our Friesian stallion, showing off his best moves!

Look at me!

He's a high stepper!

...and of course:

Jumping!

Dog Days of Summer #27 - Eyes

We happen to think both of our boys have beautiful eyes, but Monty manages to be very expressive with his.  We dug through our archives and found this photo that makes us smile every time we see it...

Please can I has my toy?

Do you know how hard it is to resist those eyes?

August's Bark Box has arrived!

Our Bark Box has arrived!  This is now the third one we have received, and I think our boys are really starting to understand this box is just for them. 

Come on, Mom!  Can we please open it?

This month's box was full of interesting surprises!  We had our usual treats...

The Elvis - Banana & Peanut Butter Turkey Bacon treats...

Milk-Bone Trail Mix

...and an antler!  Sam pulled the label off so quickly, I'm not sure where it came from!

Sam enjoying the antler - if you look closely, he has a little bit of the blue packing paper in the corner of his mouth.

What's this?

Monty was excited by this months toy - a pink Flying Pig!

This one is mine!

We are so happy with our Bark Box's!  We enjoy having them come in the mail and opening them with the boys is so much fun!

Monty in the movies...

I thought I would try putting a slideshow together.  I posted a slightly different version on FB (my first attempt with a lot of errors).  This is attempt two...

The music is "Home" by Phillip Phillips.

We do love our boy Monty!

Sometimes all you can do is try...

I know, it seems kind of silly when we have a perfectly good pool in the backyard... 

I bought the boys a play pool.  We keep the big pool blocked off - the filter system can't hold up to the copious amounts of fluff Monty leaves in the water.  So I thought I'll just buy them their own personal little pool and they can get it as dirty as they want.

I should have known better...

Um, no....

We weren't surprised by Sam's lack of interest.  The only time I've seen Sam happy to be in water is at the lake or in very large puddles.

We were surprised by Monty...

My ball is getting wet...

Must... not... be... seen... in "Dora the Explorer" pool....

Honestly, Monty tried his best to not touch the pool.  ...and yes, it is a "Dora the Explorer" pool.  We might not have had this problem if I had bought the "Spongebob Squarepants" pool. 

Rosie is Riveting...

Sam here.  Sam take over his blog.  Again.  Is his blog, after all...

Hi dere!

Sam has important news.  It's true!  Sam's Oma went to place called the "Pound" and brought home a new cousin.  Sam not know what this pound is but from what Sam's Mom says, Oma is a hero.  Monty, who has been to this pound, says is true!

Sam wants all his friends to meet Rosie!

Rosie is Riveting!

Sam's Mom here...  Rosie is a 6 year old Chihuahua mix.  She is absolutely adorable, loves attention and has the sweetest personality.  More importantly, she took to my Mom almost instantly which is what we were hoping for.

As you can see, she isn't very big, but she has a whole lot of heart!
