Summer Rain

We're getting a little rain this week - lots of clouds but just a little rain!
 
For several weeks now we've had so many thunderstorms come right to us and then fizzle out, bringing us just thunder, lightening, and a cool breeze.  This time of the year we'll gladly take any breeze we can get of course, but our plants sure do need the rain!
Well, this week we've been lucky and actually received some rainfall.


We've been babysitting our "grand dogs" the last two weeks. They'll be going back home on Monday. This is D.J., a lively little Jack Russel Terrier. She's a real sweetie!



And this is Jake, who will be 18 years old in November! He doesn't hear much and his vision isn't too great but he is still quite smart and knows how to get just what he wants from Grandma, like an extra treat or chicken broth on his food! He is a beautiful West Highland Terrier.


Hope you all have a nice weekend!

 

 

16 for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him.
17 He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
 
Colossians 1:16-17   New Living Translation

Dog Days of Summer!

With temperatures near 100 almost every day lately we have been staying inside a lot! It is just unbearable outside until about 7:30 in the evening. Then, like a bunch of bats, our neighborhood once again comes to life. We love sitting outside in the evenings to enjoy what little breeze might be coming through and visiting with neighbors. Just a little before dark we start our walk around the block with Sadie leading the way.

In the summer when the days are hot,
I like to find a shady spot,
And hardly move a single bit
And sit, and sit, and sit, and sit.

Doggies Love Birthday Parties Too!

When Mark and Jennifer were in for Thanksgiving we also celebrated a birthday - Jake turned 15 years old. We made doggie cupcakes and invited our friends, Jennifer and Michelle, who have two Westies each.  It was a lot of fun but impossible to get good pictures because of their non-stop doggie shenanigans.

Jake and Jennifer

He was pretty excited about his cupcake!

They all loved their cupcakes.

They cleaned up every crumb!

The non-Westie is D.J., a bouncy Jack Russel Terrier.

Kenzie is ready for another cupcake.

Finally all 5 Westies in one shot.  

This is little Jake after his big day - having sweet dreams of cupcakes.

Is she a mess or what? Our Chinese Tallow tree is losing it's little tassles and they get all stuck onto Sadie. She usually can't stand one to be on her but when she's playing it doesn't seem to matter.
