Play date...



So, Blue and Get Em got together today for some zoomies, Venus showed up later to join in the fun. We got the usual questions, what kind of dog is that? why does his chest look that way? (little kid, he wasn't sure why the ribs were visable) We had a good day! We were out there for a little over an hour. Toni mentioned she always brings Get Em over to the pond to cool off. Blue had already laid on the collapseable water bowl to make a puddle for himself to lay in, I thought he would like to go and cool off in the pond. After a breif meeting with a few children on the way to the pond (Blue was not too much involved in the meeting), we made it over ot the water. Blue and Get Em walked around for a little while and then this happened:




I knew he was probably getting a bit warm, but didn't think he was going to immerse himself into the swampy goodness of the pond we walked to. He laid down for about a minute, got up and walked a bit futher. He found a sink hole a little bit further up from where he laid down, this scared him a bit and I pulled him out of this before he got too deep.


Needless to say, the ride home was lovely! Nothing better than having a wet, sandy, swampy dog in the back of the Jeep, but damn he is still good lookin'! haha I am glad we met this morning because the afternoon got a bit sticky and gross. The rain brought some nasty humidty.

OMG Blue looks so relieved in that first picture. Too funny. I bet he really liked that!
