Pickles is worried.

Perhaps, he says, perhaps tomorrow will be better.

Even Ash can recognize

the end of summer when it is nigh. Consider those rosebuds gathered, people.

More Kev!

Because he is simply too cute.

*cough*

Sorry for the hiatus! There were bunnies and they chewed through cables and it was all bad and...here. Have Lucy and Pickles, with Mera's butt intruding at rear (hee!)

Lucy loves making friends.

The friends, on the other hand, are frequently overwhelmed.

The dog in the middle looks a bit taken aback.

Which is a frequent reaction to encountering Bella and Chubbs simultaneously.

Gratuitous end-of-summer pool shot

Lucy will be quite sorry to see the end of all that sun.

Meet Kev!

Kev is a retired racing greyhound brought to our attention by Fatima over at Greyhounds and Friends. He was her foster dog for a few days, before retiring in style to a family who adores him. Way to go, Kev!

And another gratuitous Kev picture, just because we can:



Aw...

Partying is a young dog's sport

Oh Bella, take a time-out. Break time, lady.

Don't worry, guys. There are more treats in the bag.

Chubbs and Pickles focused on the party favors.

Oh he had a great time.

After all, Leo turned 11 and kept right on going. Happy Birthday, Leo!

This is how Cartier parties.

Seriously. He's having the best time he can manage.

Lucy makes a friend

It's hard to say who's more startled here, frankly.

Go for it, guys!

Some toys are just dangerous, y'all.

He's an action pug!

For about 12 seconds. Then he lay back down, his chores for the day completed.

Behold! The power of the treat.

I feel like this about the long weekend. Woo!!!

"You and what army?"

At Trishelle's first vet visit (she was a rescue who'd very obviously never seen a vet before), we had difficulty persuading her to exit the carrier.

Leo will nurse on Bobo if he wants to

As is the privilege of an 11-year-old bulldog.

Oh the humanity

That's right, Pickles does love his baths. How can you tell?

Ceci n'est pas un chien

Um...short-eared bunny? Earl says "non".

Only known still picture of Lucy:

Seconds later she was a little red blur in the distance.

Puppy drama makes Leo itchy.

He could do without all these whippersnappers, let me tell you.

Samoyeds!

They're saaaaaaaaaaaamtastic!

Arty Neo

Neo has a sudden urge to take up knitting...

Kaytee has questions.

But mainly she wants you to know: her ears really are as soft as they look.

Dude, it's not the weekend yet.

Wow, TJ. Looks like someone needs to be cut off.

Yes? May I help you?

Retired racing greyhound for the win.

Daisy Smushface

The much loved, much-missed Miss Smushface.

Differing attention spans

One dog is captivated by the camera, the other by my steel-toed doc martens. It takes all kinds.

Those are their good sides.

Mera, being quite forward, and Ash (age 12) lacking the energy to.

What the...hey now!

Sorry about that everyone. Hang on, let me find the reset button.

What? No. No! I don't want to.

Fine, mother. Whatever. Hi Internet, my name is Pickles, and I'm a pug, and I was told I have to be on this blog so that it's not a constant stream of Lucy pictures. Also, the rabbits are holding Mera hostage. Which, I guess that's not good.

Can I go now?

Lucy has reckoned without Milo.

Milo doesn't even need to say ha. He's not letting go of that rabbit.

Lucy says "ha!"

They'll never catch her. Never! And she knows it. She's kind of a punk.

Oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind Mickey!

I can't believe you woke him just for that song.

Back itch? Sunstroke? Only a Frenchie knows for sure.

You know, when you get to be Ash's age, committing to this type of pose is an undertaking. It took her seven minutes to get back upright. When interviewed, she confirmed it was worth every minute.

Cockapoo! It's just fun to say.

The 18-month-old cockapoo Leo. With Lucy's butt in the background because she is such a little lady. Sigh.

Hey, do you hear that?

No? Possibly your ears are not as large as Trishelle's. She can hear *Sunday*, people. No stunt ears here.

It is way too hot out there.

Lucy recommends you all stay cool like she does. Ice cream is good for Boston terriers and other highly frenetic dogs. Just ask anyone who's tried to catch one once they start running.

This blog needs more fluff.

What's that you say? Too many short-haired dogs? Never fear, the Pomeranian is here!

Oh it is so perplexing. So perplexing.

Bella is puzzled. Those fish on the bottom of the pool won't come when she calls them.

Are you still here?

Mera is watching you. Some day, she might blink. Then where will you be?

Leo is made of awesome

Leo is excited to be upright and outside. He's 11, and loves to see the summer through his good eye.

No room at the inn, bub

Lucy is trying to stay cool in the heat, and she is completely uninterested in whether the other dogs manage likewise.

Random Rabbit Saturday: Princess Biteypants

The dogs will return as soon as I can convince the Princess to change the darn password back. Sigh.

Bella is having a nice time, thank you

Bella is enjoying the summer just as much as she's enjoying a turn in the spotlight. She hopes you enjoy your weekend, party people.

We've all felt this way from time to time

Lucy the upside down Boston terrier wants you to enjoy your Thursday just as she plans on enjoying hers.

Mera sees what you're doing there

Mera is very curious about her turn at stardom. As an 8-year-old French bulldog, she likes to stay current with the Interweb.
