Baby has pretty brown eyes.
We had a quiet Sunday morning. After some yard time, breakfast was served in the main dining room.
The boys seemed to be in the mood to kick back and relax.
Gizmo was good about going into his crate today.

The boys were excited to see me this morning. After a break, while Baby and Woody ate breakfast, Gizmo opted for some petting and a light massage. he’s become very comfortable lying down beside me to get petted and rubbed.
When it was time for me to leave, Gizmo was not too keen on going into his crate. I finally had to sit on the floor until he came over and laid down beside me. He then let me pick him up and carry him to his crate and didn’t fuss about it. I think he is just trying to get away with what he can with the sitter!

This afternoon I was close by and had some extra time so I stopped by a little early and enjoyed spending it with the boys. They took a break while I picked up the yard. It is getting hotter again and they were ready to go back into the a/c. We watched tv together and socialized with the boys taking turns coming to me for petting. They are all fun to care for and play with.

Woody & Baby greeted me at the door with lots of wet kisses. Gizmo remembered me after a few minutes and was very friendly. They all had a break in the yard and then came in for dinner.

After dinner we played in the yard some more. Woody took interest in a fallen branch and broke a piece off for himself.

Baby and Gizmo were also checking the ground around the fallen tree limb.
We retired to the living room and a little TV time for the boys until it’s bedtime. Read the rest of this entry »

Today started with some play time in the yard followed by breakfast.
By midday Luke was ready for some more play so we spent most of our time playing frisbee in the yard.
I turned the TV on for some company until I returned in the evening.
This evening was much cooler and less humid so we lengthened our walk by about 50%.
Returning home, Luke cooled off lying on the kitchen tile while I prepared his dinner.
After dinner we retired to the living room where Luke laid down to get a little lovin’ and a light rub down. Then it was TV off and Luke settled in for the night.
I love how Luke carries his frisbee.
We had another good day. Luke continues to impress me with his manners and spirit.
Now where is that frisbee?
While we were playing with the tennis ball, it bounced against the wood fence and went under the chain link fence. I searched for it but it eluded me in the vegetation. I replaced it with another tennis ball later today. I think Luke was happy to have it back.
He had some HGTV for company during the afternoon and evening.
In the evening we walked the same route but in reverse. Luke was very interested in a rabbit scampering through a yard. We made it back home just as the rain began.
After a cool-down rest, Luke had dinner, another break, then it was tv off and bed time.
Luke is such a good boy! He is a pleasure to be with.
We had a nice walk around the neighborhood while it was dark. We did about a two block square.
Returning home, we rested and cooled down for a while before dinner. Luke is a very lovable guy.
One final visit to the back yard before I left. And I prepared Luke’s kong with some treats too.

Humans and dogs all had a great time at the annual Paws in the Park! event on June 19th, even though the last hour was rained out!
It was nice to meet so many dogs and their guardians.
Congratulations to Amy Casey and Daisy from Overland Park who won the drawing for our prize basket!

Our second visit today was full of play time in the house since it was raining. Storm had a quick break outside. We then played inside until it was time to take a nap.
