Summertime

Lazy days for the dogs, though I've been super busy! Between those pesky grad classes for that Masters degree, family visiting from out of town, etc., I'm still waiting for vacation to start! Ha ha ha! Good news is that the rain we've been getting has to have helped the fires burning around the state. It's almost cool enough to run dogs...though with temps ranging around 55F for lows are still a bit warm for the dogs to run unless they are going through lots of water. Aw well, August will be here before we know it and fall training will get into gear.

The boys are doing well, growing and learning so much each and every day. Sometimes I wish I could just freeze little moments in time, keep that special smile, that little kiss, etc. Those moments will always be in my heart...but these guys are growing so fast. Devlyn starts the 2nd grade and Conor is already 15 months old, toddling everywhere, fearlessly climbing stairs (just about giving his mom a heartattack!) and already showing a love of dogs. Of course, his name is Irish for 'lover of hounds,' so it's quite fitting.

After losing Kaiser, a friend reached out to us in our grief and presented us with a young, vibrant, new little guy to help with the sorrow. Thus, Brennan has come to live with us and has fast declared Devlyn as his Human. This little black dynamo has us wrapped around his paw.

Pictures will follow in a bit. Gotta go get some homework done while Conor naps. Cheers all!
