Hoping for the best for those who need good wishes and thoughts.
Here are some quick pictures taken a few days ago.
A butterfly invaded the yard and the dogs went after it. Prissy was the first to react. (In both pictures the butterfly is to the top left of the picture.)
Pea pod was the most ardent and persistant chaser.
Not all the dogs took notice of the butterfly.
Eventually the butterfly left, leaving Pea Pod wondering what to chase next.
While some dogs played in the heat, others took refuge on the cool tiles. Little did Mr. Dawg know that he would soon be disturbed by the terrible toenail clippers! (I can't beleive we left them get that long!)
With the butterfly gone. attention turned to whatever critters might be up the trees.
As before some dogs took no interest in this activity. Mr. Dawg was still sulking from having his nails clipped.
Ebony AKA doggy Bhudda was contemplating her place in the universe. Or was she just watching the grass grow?
Dottie was saying "Let me IN, I can't take this heat any more." Mr. Dawg was thinking that he would ignore us because we had clipped his nails. Apache was in her own little world and totally oblivious.
Long after the others had given up, Ginger refused to give up on looking for a critter in the tree.
Every few minutes she had to recheck that tree. Ivory was saying, "Give it up, there ain't nothin there." (She is fond of double negatives.)
Sweet Pea seemed to enjoy the feel of the grass on her belly as she ran through it.
I finally convince Ginger that there wasn't anything in the tree.
Pea Pod was disappointed that the butterfly did not return to play some more.
Ivory was just disgusted with the whole deal.
They all agreed that the day was not a total wasye because the Great Dane abandoned by being tied to our fence one night was rescued.
