It has been beautiful the last few days, but already getting hot. The dogs aren't running as much for some strange reason. They lay around the yard like so many fur covered speed bumps.

Here is another picture where they are arranged in a circle. Hmmmm, I wonder if this has any relation to crop circles.

The other night, cheryl got up for something, and when she came back Mr. Dawg, Prissy and Apache had moved so that she couldn't get back in the bed. Rather than wake everyone up, she went and slept on the sofa. Here she is being woke up by Mr. Dawg, among others. Note Pea Pod saying it is too early to be up.

Yesterday she only went to clean and feed. When she came home we went outside to play with the dogs.

Some of the dogs didn't notice her at first and conitued playing in the shade. (Smart dogs!) Inky went over and got their attention.

They saw the fun and joined in.

After Mom went in they calmed back down and most went into the shade to cool off. Prissy was standing in the sun and I noticed that all her old injuries seemed to be standing out. Strange that the scars seemed to disappear quickly just after the accident years ago, only to reappear now.

Ebony was in her usual contemplative position in the shade. What she is contemplating is how to get the birds! -- Between the dogs they get 6 a week. I think Ebony gets most of them by simply sitting quietly until one lands just in front of her, when she seems to explode into activity.

Earlier, when I tried to take this type of picture, saw me kneeling and decided it was time to play with dad! This is a slower moving version of her bird attack move, with the tail up instead of down. I also got licks instead of bites.

Later that night Mommy zonked out while watching TV. Poor Inky, even mom uses her for a pillow!
