Dog Days of Summer

Literally we are in the dog days of summer.

Now that Cutie E is walking with confidence on uneven ground the doggies have no escape from an eager toddler to to play with his puppies.

The boys are surrounded by three dogs, so lets meet them.

Our pup, Abby is a bit of an old lady at 8 years old and refuses to be within arms reach of our little guys.  Cutie E tries so hard to play with her, but she won't have it.  Our little grump is not pictured.

Zoey is a love.  She loves to cuddle, go for walks and be spoiled.  She does not enjoy little fingers grabbing at her.  Hopefully her tolerance of sticky fingers will improve over time.

Mention a walk and Zoey is the first one to the door.  With summer weather here we are spending more time outside and on occasion the doggies get to join us.  On this evening Cutie E discovered that He could hold the leash and take Zoey for a walk.  In reality Zoey was dragging E around the yard.  Listening to him giggle as he chased Zoey was adorable.

This is Kaia.  She is quite special.  I don't think there are too many dogs that will allow a toddler to pull themselves to standing by grabbing tightly to their fur.  Zoey does.  As a matter of fact she lets E flop on top of her, pull at her tail, poke her face, roll over her and rough house like she's a sibling.  She tolerates all of it, she even shares her bed with him.  These two are buds.  Check our their morning hugs.

These doggies are so well loved.
