Hot Summer Day Siesta

Summer here are hot! When the temperature gets so unbearable, all I want to do is sleep. My walks get cut in half because I simply refuse to move.

What dog in his crazy mind would want to walk on hot pavement or on dry, prickly, dead grass? I, for sure rather stay inside relaxing, than suffer from that extreme heat.

This is me taking a siesta on a summer day. All my play buddies are keeping me company and once I wake up feeling refreshed, I will use some of my energy to play with my toys.

Work is for humans, belly rubs are for ME!

Having a dog life is the best thing ever. At least at my house it is.

My owners work, clean, cook and exercise, while I play, eat and get taken out on walks.

On the days my mommy stays home and works from home I'm her constant companion. While she types away on her computer, writing articles, proofing webpages, creating newsletters and maintaining her sites, I lay next to her and beg for her attention.

Most of the time I get it. She pets me, gets me treats or tells me I have to wait until she has some free time. I don't mind waiting for her because I know that once she has some time for me, she will rub my belly and that is what I like the most.

I'm always ready for a belly rub, if you can't tell from the picture.

Get me out of the water

Bath time is not my favorite time, but I know it must happen.

I usually know when bat time comes. I mean, it usually happend on Fridays or Saturdays, and when mommy goes into the linnen closet, I know it is either to change the bed sheets or to grab my towel.

When I'm in the bathtub I stand still and stick my head out. I don't know why, but sometimes I feel I might drown, so I'm better off sticking my snout out the tub.

Mommy is very gentle with my baths. She signs to me, and massages my body. The shampoo she uses on me smells really good and is dog save, but no matter what, once bath time is over I run all over the house and rub my body against any soft surface I find.

I guess bath time is not that bad, I end up smelling good, feeling soft and being super shiny. I just wish it didn't have to happen every week.
