Dog Days of Summer... literally

Today was a day spent with the dogs. We ventured as a family (this happens rarely now as the kids get older) to a dog expo. There was every type of dog imaginable, with owners to match. It proved to be an interesting day. Unlike our first born dog, Molly was actually sociable! To the unknowing observer she was the best behaved animal a person could wish for. (I think it must of been the heat, she was too hot to argue) Lil Bit thought it was the best day of her life, with more butts to sniff then her nose could handle. Yes I said that! As a friend of mine once said, a dog's driver's license is located below it's tail.

The heat was intense with little or no shade to be found, so Blaine and I parked our butts in a small shady spot and let the kids roam (kids meaning children and dogs alike) It was like people watching but they had more hair and four legs. Kyra attempted to teach our dogs how to traverse an agility course. Blaine and I had a great laugh watching, she was great at the course, going back and forth through the zig zag poles, over the jump, through the tunnel. Now I will tell you I am talking about Kyra, not the dogs who thought it was all a joke. Molly looked at Kyra like she was a crazed lunatic. Lil Bit thought the tunnel was a great place to find shade.

After a few hours in the heat it was time to head for home, did I mention the trip back meant a long hike uphill to the van? What was absolutely hilarous? Molly would not walk back up the hill, she planted her butt and would not budge! Blaine ended up having to carry her up the friggen hill! Can you say "princess"! Oh also, she is Blaine's pet! I just have to shake my head and laugh to myself, its pretty bad when you have to carry your flippin dog uphill!.. lol

Alas, we finally made it home where everyone except Kass and myself proceeded to lay down and have a nap!

Ahhh the life of luxury, if only I could come back as a spoiled dog!
