Doggie Bath Time

Saturday was a nice hot, sunny summer day. The perfect weather for a front yard bath for the dogs. It's funny because they both love the water and love to swim, but get so nervous and antsy when it's time for a bath. I guess water is more fun when it's on their terms!



Jonah was the first to get a bath. He was shaking like a leaf when Bryan started to hose him down. Smile, Jonah!

Next up was Hannah. She HATES getting baths, but I'll have to admit that she did really well this time. Usually she runs and hides under the truck when we pull out the hose, but this time she only tried to escape once.


The escape attempt. She thinks we don't notice her slowly inching her way away from us!




She loves to play in the towel.



After their baths they are both really frisky and love to run around the yard like maniacs. A refreshing bath has got to feel good on their skin (and it definitely is better on OUR noses).


Time to chew on some sticks as we dry off. Thanks for giving us a bath Dad!

Smile, Salem!

I went to visit the Mauldins on Saturday and asked Lauren to snap a picture of me and Salem. We gave it three tries before she started to get fussy...

Attempt #3

Oh well, maybe next time! Too bad I didn't get a picture of her big smiles when I was playing with her after this. She is such a sweet baby and she sure does love her new swing! Can't say I blame her because it looks so relaxing :)
