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!!
