Dog Days of August

What crazy weather we are having. Hot Hot Hot most of the day with afternoon sprinkles and lightening storms. Yard is in dire need of a mowing. Weeds love rain, so they are in their glory. Heat and rain have turned my flower beds into weedy, petaless mud pits. YUCK!!!

Speaking of dogs... and ya knew I was gonna right?? Here are Cookie's 3 month old pictures.

COOKIE and KAYLA

SHE IS NOT the ugliest dog you have ever seen... and YES... she WILL grow into that head (sorta). humph!!!!

My son's neighbor is convinced Cookie is a freak of nature.... a cross between a German Shepard and a RABBIT!!! He refuses to believe this is a real dog breed. Nor could I convince him she carries fairies on her back...and has a Fairie Saddle to prove it. Oh well...what's one more person in my life who thinks I need to take permanent residence in the Pysch ward!!??!!.

Awwww....poor Cookie.... ya'll are gonna give her an inferiority complex.

This photo is a favorite of mine. It was taken at Garden of the Gods and where we were the weather was bright and sunny. In the background, over the mountains you can see the dark storm clouds rolling in. Typical Colorado. Not much news this week. Nothing of importance has happened. We have had afternoon storms everyday... just enough drizzly rain to get things to damp to be able to enjoy the outdoors (not to mention lots of accompanying lightening).

No posting would be complete without a photo of COOKIE! Here she is at 10 weeks old. Bless her heart, I haven't broken the news to her yet.... she is never going to grow into those ears. LOL!!!
