Although this morning is cool, we've officially reached the dog days of summer. I'm up bright and early every morning, (thanks to the soft woof of a certain white dog standing on the floor at the edge of the bed) and the dogs are walked and home well before 9AM. It's the only way I can do it, because once the sun starts creeping higher in the sky, it becomes much too hot to exercise the boys.
So, in the morning, while the backyard is still in semishade, you can find them running around like crazy: tearing in and out of the bushes with the occasional thump of a clumsy black critter flying into the (thankfully) sturdy fence. The POD is the boys enjoying their last bit of outside time before the yard is fully engulfed in sun.
After some morning play and a nice walk, the boys are ready to beat the heat by settling down in their comfortable air conditioned home. So until about 5 or 6 pm, when daddy gets home, this is how you'll find them:
Trust me, I appreciate a long quiet day with sleeping children, but you can only imagine the energy they have come 9pm when the shade and cool air begins to return!!! Ah well, what's another short walk around the block at 10pm right?
