It looks sorta like Sammy has a vertigo problem...
But he's just getting his doggy shakes out before he gets out of the shady creek.
And Caroline finds splashing water onto her head the perfect way to cool off on a hot July day!The relaxing part of summer has finally arrived! And not a moment too soon.
Mom Update: Looks like Mom will stay in the rehab center until the middle of August since there are some obstacles in Mom and Dad's home that require her to be a bit stronger and more agile. Their bathroom doors are not even two feet wide which means she has to squeeze through with her walker sideways. This requires some more practice. She doesn't mind, though. She LOVES rehab, all the social things there are to do, the staff, the other patients. She's having a blast. Dad on the other hand, well, he's kinda sick of being alone and doing all the chores. But he's doing just fine. Mom enjoyed her Day Out at home for Dad's birthday party. She was surrounded by kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids for the better part of a day. Smiling, relaxing, talking, scooting around with her walker now and then - with supervision, of course - she was quite relaxed. Dad had a very happy birthday celebration. He was more smiley and ready to laugh than he's been since Mom fell ill. It was a good day all the way around! More later!

Love's the greatest gift.
Glad to drop in and find things sunny and warm.
I wanna splish splash!
Hi MM! Thanks for dropping by. I enjoy hearing from you always. Have a great week!
HLITTOMS: Come on up!
Sammy has very good manners. Hairry would go up on the bank, dripping wet, and roll in the sand or mud THEN shake. :(
It sounds like Mom is on the home stretch. Way to go! ;)
Enjoy The Summer!
Thanks, Tony! You too.
Tshs: Hairry is so funny!
Mmmmmm! Wet doggie!! A summer wouldn't be complete without a wet doggie!!
Perhaps your dad can get your mom a chainsaw so she could make the necessary house alterations as she goes along:)
Dad has a chainsaw, Mike, and Mom knows how to use it. I'd better keep this helpful hint of yours to myself - she's just liable to DO IT! ;)
I can't believe your beagle goes in the water. Our guy won't even go in the back yard when I'm watering the garden.
Hey Maureen! We were surprised, too, when Sam got in the water and swam around. He runs when he sees the garden hose come out for garden watering and what not. We've never sprayed him with it or given the little guy any reason to dislike the water. Must be a beagle thing, eh. And it must have been because it was so hot the day we went to the river - and because my daughters were in the water beckoning - that he was willing to risk all and get wet. A little tug of the leash was all it took and he swam around a little.
He hates having bath, too. Does yours?
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the concert - he really is so good! And yes, nice to have a new generation appreciating the boys.
