Fun in the sun

Today was such a hot day. Since we don't have a pool I sometimes let the kids turn on the hose while they jump on the trampoline. Or they'll spray the slides on the swing set and slide down really fast and see who lands the furthest away from the bottom of the slide. Natalie and I had doctor's appointments today and when we got home the boys were already outside jumping with the water. Natalie took one look at them and went outside in a flash.


Cole ran over to the door as soon as I opened it to take pictures of the kids. He loves to come inside. When he's wet. And muddy. And smells like a nasty wet dog. Not happening. He was sad and wouldn't look at me while I took his picture. I had to clean up after his last trip inside while he was wet and muddy. He ran in, ran across my freshly mopped floor (of course), ran to the family room, sat down until he saw me approaching, then ran to the front room where he stood and shook himself off all over the carpet, the end table, the coffee table, the piano, the front door, the lamp, etc... It took a while to clean everything up. So I wasn't going to chance him coming in again while he was wet!


Then my cute little Smokey. He's our miniature schnauzer. He was supposed to be an inside dog, but he decided that he preferred being outside. He loves to roll in the water. So his fur gets all nappy. We decided that we would keep his coat short during the summer to cut down on all the snarls. When he's fully groomed he is so cute.


Here are the two dogs when they're groomed and looking cute.

You're right - Smokey's hair sure is nappy when it's not groomed! I really only liked him when he was a little puppy.... he's too spunky for me. Calm down Smokey! But nice hair cut!
