Hot Hounds in the Summer

Yesterday was really hot and humid here. I took the hounds out first thing in the morning to play a bit.


They played for about five minutes before Gloria petered out and retreated to the patio.


Of course freak boy couldn't give up that easily and decided to charge me on the lawn.


It's hard to discipline a dog that looks like this, without laughing your butt off!


Thankfully he petered out before reaching me.


And when Mr. Dramatica lays down, he doesn't just stop and lay down, he stops and throws himself down on his side with a big umph!!
So while Freddie was acting like he was close to death on the grass, I thought I'd go and take some pictures of Gloria. She was happy to oblige although it's like she didn't quite know how to pose.


"Sitting or laying Momma? I don't know what to do.  I'm not used to the paparazzi like Freddie!"


She finally broke under the pressure, said screw it and laid down!


And this was how they spent most of the afternoon.  It was so nice and quiet.  Well, except for all the construction going on out front!
Our night was equally quiet watching tv.....


.....'cause this was Freddie after a day of sunshine and fresh air!! Yay! I love it!!

  15. I know I'm biased, but I think the "hound" group is the best at laying down.

  17. With all the blood rushing to his head Freddie is going to be even smarter! That charge - I'd love to live with this crew just to see stuff like this :-)

    And who can blame poor Gloria for getting worn out - I'm sure it's not easy carrying Freddie around on her back!

  25. Adorable pictures! I love seeing them play together.

    I can't help but laugh when Elka charges me as well, and I assure you, she doesn't peter out!

  26. Nice. Tired dogs are the best dogs! And dogs that have funny floppy faces are pretty awesome!

  27. I can just imagine the sound of Freddie plopping over on his side. Heat and naps go hand in hand along with a spritz of water every so often...oh and a fan blowing a cool breeze.

  28. I love coming here and seeing Fred and Gloria. You get these best shots of them every day. Fred always shows that he is quite a character with his facial expressions. I find myself laughing at them every time I stop by!

  29. OMD "Freak Boy" and "Mr Dramatica" you had me rolling with laughter! I am with Theresa above, I love coming here too and seeing Fred and Gloria and your photos. You make my day! I had nominated you as one of my favorite dog blogs too for the Nose-to-Nose....I was upset that you weren't a finalist. I nominated a few that didn't make it! Grrrrr....

  41. LOL @ Mr. Dramatica - what a clown he is. But I awwwwed big time over Gloria in her version of a puppy play bow. So cute! She does indeed know how to work a camera even if Freddie tends to hog it. :)

  42. I don't like playing much in the heat, but the early morning and evenings are nice for play... and sniffing for signs that bunny has visited again.
