I am back, with my ears fully healed. Apparently, judging from the noises the DogParents were making, there was some yucky stuff going on. All good now. Those dog biscuits at the vet's are awesome. 

Liz, Sophie and I just finished thrashing the Snake, so a group nap is in order. The Dog Days of August call for dedicated napping and more lounging around than usual.

I admit, the backyard pond looks great, and the neighborhood labs take flying leaps into their backyard ponds, but I don't care for it. Too much muscle weight and head bone up forward, slender legs and paws, and Olympian weightlifter body fat, lack of. I know a lot of boxers swim, but not I.

I have been known to lounge by the backyard pond. The girls get onto the top step so the cool water hits their bellies. I watch.

Stay cool, my friends. Keep your fur fluffy.
