Lazy Weekend

Last week, we were housesitting (and dog/cat/bird-sitting) for my aunt. She has a pool, which is always nice when the weather is super hot! So Sadie and I (and their dog, Harlie) enjoyed a nice lazy weekend by the pool. I took some pictures of the dogs, and some came out really well, I think! As you can see, Sadie is quite confused as to what she should do after that first step...she just keeps sticking her paws out and feeling nothing but water. So I had to pick her up and put her in so she could swim a bit. But she wasn't much of a fan of that lol. And I wasn't able to get a picture of her swimming. (When I tried to video her swimming, I dropped my cell phone in the pool. Awesome. At least it wasn't the DSLR though!) Enjoy the pics! We hope you are keeping cool this summer!

Doggie-Sized Pool

I bought Sadie a wading pool at PetSmart recently (it even has bones as a design element haha)...but she just doesn't seem to get it. I will put her in there on the hottest of days, and she just jumps out! Silly girl. She is still slightly confused by the actual swimming pool as well (but that's another post entirely -- to come soon!). Here are a few pictures of her in the wading pool. Note her confused facial expression!
