enjoying summer


Oh my, the summer is fading fast, and I don't think I have done even half of the things I dreamed about last winter. It seems as though every weekend we are doing as much as possible.. not that we aren't enjoying it, but there are just too many fun things still to see and do.

The next town down we went and saw this water skiing show. Boy, we're they good!!! I appreciate anyone who can stay up on skies, but the tricks that theses folks could do!!!!







I was pretty impressed when they pulled three people....












And then, they added more (it was a pirate theme just in case you couldn't tell). They did jumps and flips, carried more people on their shoulders....












and ended the show by pulling 10 people.












The next evening we had a big cookout at the farm with all my friends from the "service dog world". We thought that a cookout would be more fun that our usual "puppy training night".. not that we don't have fun there... but this was fun with good food!!!!









As usual, we had a nice big crowd. I wished our back deck had been done, but everyone seemed to have fun on the front lawn. It was my dream to have Tonka and Duke give some hay rides... sadly, they had other ideas.... oh well, maybe next year!!!!










We shared stories and talked dogs, and another evening went zipping by.....













A few stayed a little later, so we moved inside ahead of the bugs. Otis had the "job" of entertaining Abbie, who now has figured out how leashes work. Poor dogs, we have to hide the leashes, or they find themselves being towed all around the house by Abbie....







Nothing "better in the world" than tired kids and puppies!!!!!
