Happy independence day from Tyler, Heidi, and Robby

We just enjoyed the 4th of July. My fur kids do not think much of the fire works. However they did pretty well considering how long they lasted. Tyler spent much of the day in the wading pool, Heidi on her step surveying the back yard activities and Robby as usual in the house. He is such a people dog. He always wants to be with us inside.

Animals are such unique creatures. They can tell you in a minute what they want without saying a word. How do they do that? Somehow you can just read them! They have me well trained. They are the loves of my life. They give and they love so unconditionally.

Summer of the dogs











It is summer time and oh how the dogs love the outdoors. Tyler is my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier who is actually going on 3; Heidi is my 10 year old Chow and Robby is a Jack Russell that I am fostering for his human dad who is in the military. Tyler my oldest Jack loves to soak in the little yellow tub which we refer to as his "tea cup." Robby who is nine, is a very active Jack and gets along well with Heidi and Tyler. They bring me such joy. I can be having the worst day and one look at their faces makes me laugh and all is well with the world.
I often wonder if animals notice things that we change about ourselves. For instance, I had my hair colored the other day. When I came home I wondered if they were talking about me! They probably said " OMG! What did mom do to her hair? And she thinks that looks good??? maybe they don't notice things like that. Just once I would love to know what my animals are thinking. Animals are much smarter than people give them credit for. Guess I will never know huh?
