Hot, Hot, Hot!

A very hot day today. The dogs couldn't spend much time outside during the day but they did take a quick dip in the wading pool. Tamber jumps right in this year (last summer she was scared). Colin hasn't climbed in by himself yet but he stays in for a bit when placed in the pool. (sorry - no pool pictures available)


Tamber and Colin sometimes enjoy a little tug of war.

We took a nice walk on the Chesnut Mountain trail in the evening after it cooled down a bit. The dogs still got hot but they enjoyed the walk. We managed to avoid too many tangles in the flexi leads. Actually, they walk surprisingly well together - one is usually content to follow the other in single file.

Tamber likes to watch over Colin when he's in the pen and we are out of the room. If Tamber stays where Colin can see her, he stays calm. If Tamber gets out of site, Colin starts jumping and Tamber soon returns to calm him down. Today she didn't need to bark at him - just come in room and he calmed down.

There was lots or running and wrestling again today when Colin was out of the pen. It gets a little wild at times. We'll have to get a video of the running soon. So far no fights - just spells of furious wrestling but when we thought things might get out of hand and told them to stop they settled down. They frequently tussle but then they calm down and rest or sleep together too.
