Perfect days to take the kids swimming!

Even when your kids are Dobermans.  Oh, they love going to the lake.  First they need to run around and check out the entire area.  They are well behaved and if they go near private property, I just yell "Ah, ah!" and they turn tail and come running back to me.


YEAH! Let's go swimming!

Even after her difficult day, my Jenny still loves going into the water and chasing a stick.  In fact, I have noticed that she is willing to go deeper.  Maybe it took swimming for nearly twenty minutes for her to realized that she could do it.  Are we that way?  Do we need the difficult times in our lives for us to understand that our comfort zones should not limit us?


My Jenny cools off in the clear water.

We are needing to drive further away to find a lake that has clear water near the shore.  We have been going to Goodners Lake to find a clean place for the girls to go swimming.  Or should I say playing "water fetch".


Gammy she broke my stick

 They fight so hard over the sticks that they usually break a couple of them as they run back and forth.  They are very competitive and yet at the same time they have that look of innocence. 


We got the new stick! MINE!

 My favorite time watching them is when they get hold of the sticks side by side and look like a pair of horses preparing to pull a wagon.  I wonder how they would really holster?  Hmmm.


I'm not letting go! You let go!

Before and after swimming time, well that is nap time.   My Jenny, has confiscated mama's puppy pillow - the one that I made for my nephew Isaac and Duchess thinks is hers.

My spare bedroom got cleared out and the bed put down.  Duchess has claimed that bed as hers to rest on.  Aren't my two girls the sweetest girls when they are dreaming?

Yes, even when your kids are Dobermans they need a break from the heat at the lake. And for a week like this there isn't a cool time of day to take them out for a walk.  My tiny little air if fighting to keep it 77 degrees inside.  The nice thing is that it is taking care of the humidity.
