Out and About

We have been taking Mom for little walks at the park - SHE says we are taking small walks because of  MY arthritis but we really KNOW it is because she is just an old slow poke. As with most places we seemed to have got about two week of spring and now we are straight into summer with temps in the 90's and humidity at 70%. We try to walk early in the morning and stay in the most shady parts of the park but that is also where the mosquitosaurus live (giant prehistoric mosquitoes big enough to slurp the blood of a dinosaur in one gulp!)

  4. Oh, that spot under the trees looks like a great place for a short break during a walk! It is getting H-O-T out there...we have been walking super early in the morning and late in the evening to try and avoid the worst of it. Glad you are getting out to your park!

  5. How's Mom feeling? Hopefully the fact she's out and about with you is a sign she's feeling better.

  7. Snorts. Mom says she wishes the Mosquitosaurus would suck fat and not blood. Then *maybe* she would be a size 10 - snorts. Beautiful pics my friend! XOXO - Bacon

  9. Yes, summer is here too. How does the giant mosquitosaurus live in such conditions? Ours are so big and mean I think they could carry off a cow. So, we stays inside mostly now. Even the Bald puppy doesn't go out much. BTW nice boots! Mom needs to get some or some grips for Duncan!

  14. It's been so warm here that in the evenings, I've been tricking Blueberry to go into the sprinkler with treats to get her cooled down a bit before we even head out. It seems to really help. I don't really enjoy wet-dog smell, but in the summer, I'll allow it. :)

    Stay cool boys, and keep dodging those bugs.

  16. Oh well done you for taking mom for little walks in the park. Gotta be nicer than staying indoors all the time, despite the heat and/or mosquitosauruses.
    (or should that be mosquitosauri?)

  21. It looks nice in the shade and by the water. I have had to be inside for two days. A black bear swam across the Ohio River and is now in my community, so I have to be careful that I am not his lunch.
    Thanks for being a friend

  22. At first I thought you were walking around one of our favorite lakes! We have to walk slow when Katie comes with us because of her arthritis too, but Mom says it can happen to all of us, so we need to be accommodating. Beautiful dogs in a beautiful spot!

  28. Maybe the short walks are for your Mom's benefit too. It's good to start with short walks after being not well. Take care of each other, aye?

  30. We are lucky we don't get too many mosquitoes. Well, let's take that back. Mosquitoes don't like to bother Mom - they go after Dad something fierce...
