Week 33

Happy Tuesday and welcome back! We finally had a week here where we pretty much didn't need the air conditioning which hasn't happened in over 2 months now. It's been great to be able to do and enjoy more things outside again.  We'll take what we can get and wish for more to come.

Here are last week's pictures: 

Day 225- Monday, 8/12/24

Yay for cloud cover that looked cool and cooled things down quite a bit.  We got some sprinkles too but really not that much.  Our pup has been missing time in the yard that she can enjoy for more than 10 min without needing to retreat from the heat.  This whole week was a good week for that.

Day 226- Tuesday, 8/13/24

The shadows from the afternoon sun shining through my glasses on the counter caught my eye today and not long after that we loaded Bailey up in the car and headed to puppy class.  Last week it was canceled due to the heat but we got to go today.  She's now used to car rides and doesn't whine nearly as much.  It helps now that the car is associated more with fun outings and not just vet visits.

Day 227- Wednesday, 8/14/24

Rusty is so cute napping and perfectly positioned there on the landing of the stairs.  Even Bailey sat quietly below admiring him for a good bit.  Speaking of Bailey she has mastered using her paws and claws to hold things which is great like when you have baby that learns to hold their own bottle.  In this case she can now hold her own bone.

Day 228- Thursday, 8/15/24

Another beautiful cool day perfect for enjoying some Frisbee and a pine-cone snack in the yard. We have a large Monterey pine tree that supplies Bailey with plenty of pine cones when they drops on the ground.  She really enjoys hunting them down and crunching her way through them.  To me it seems like it would hurt and rip her mouth up but they don't seem to bother her or stand a chance against her power chewing.

Day 229- Friday, 8/16/24

TGIF!  Justin is chilling after work with the pup at his feet and tonight we streamed the latest Mad Max movie which I have to admit was better than the older ones that I never really cared for.

 

 

Day 230- Saturday, 8/17/24

Look at the low 80's late afternoon temp!  We have not seen that during the light of day in a really long time. Today in Justin's world he saved a praying mantis at work and then later back at at home ate a chocolate covered scorpion he recently bought at a candy shop.  For me today I enjoyed being barefoot in the backyard with the pup.  The cool grass feels so good on the feet and our grass is looking much better with more water and less heat--it's not crunchy dry anymore.

 

Day 231- Sunday, 8/18/24

John fried up some chicken tenders that we enjoyed for dinner tonight while Bailey napped on her now bigger bed.  She has gotten so tall and so long that we needed another size upgrade but this should be the last of that.  She's almost 8 months now and won't grow too much more or at least not enough to outgrow this bed.  What happened to our little pup?

 

All done and ready to start the next week. See you there.
