Poor Mo-Mo... He just did not want to go to bed... So he got groomed first.

Brandy's girls with elastics in their hair!

They both have her adorable long black lashes...

Welcoming Simba and Halley to the party...

Yes, I know... most people think I am crazy, but it really is a lot of fun too! And it is not like it will last forever... by Sept, my house will feel very empty!

Pooped Pups!

Then they all just crashed! ha ha... Tiggie on the big dogs mat...

Mysti and Cassie pulled the blanket onto the floor to sleep on it...

Brandy just crashed on the couch...

with Bella on the other end.

and Amber got up in my chair....
As for me... now it was time for me to clean up the place a bit, get some laundry done, do dishes, my goodness but they are distracting little fellas!

The Party Moves indoors!

Figured it was time to bring them in from the heat and the dust...and the play continued!

Oh yeah, let's all get in on the action!

Woof! Get down here...! They can be so demanding... ha ha...

Even Bella played nicely with them...

Think they are starting to run out of "steam"... Look at the way Mysti is lying there! Wish I was that flexible... lol!

The back yard is a busy place these days...

Brandy and her babies ... They are so like her! Cuddly and sweet...

MoMo joins the puppy play...

Wish I could post videos for you... it is so fun to watch and the pictures just don't do it any justice!

Ooops!

It was really hot out, so I decided to take them down to the water... Only to find out (too late) that the water had grown a bunch of green stuff since I was last there... Yuck! As you can see, Bella went right in to have a drink and the pups followed right behind her... lol

What is it that makes outdoor water so much more appealing than the tap water from home?? ha ha... Mysti and Cassie were sure loving the water... Tiggie is off exploring with her Mom.

Okay - time to head home... Mysti is swimming now and Cassie was just lying on the bottom of the water, enjoying the cool water, but I have LOTS of bathing and brushing ahead... groan...

Taking the pups to the quarry...

My dear friend Lesley came over to help me take the pups for another outing...

Oh! Did they have fun..!

They ran their little hearts out...

So much to see and explore, and they stayed close to the big dogs so that was great!

Come on - catch up, so we can keep going...

Poor Brandy... Those pups still torment her...

Not that she seems to mind...

Ooops! Now what have you got Mysti?? ha ha...

Guess she must have been thirsty - and it was me who was silly enough to leave my glass on the ground (good think it is acrylic!)

Hey! Come back out here and play! No hiding under the bush!

Playtime...

Bella and Amber showing Mysti and Tiggie how to play like big dogs...

Ha ha... as you can see - Cassie found the hole again... Cooler there!

Taking a breather...

Bella was minding the babes...

Kind of funny to watch them all keeping an eye out for danger...

The pups were playing peacefully...

Till "someone" heard a squirrel!

Then they all had to go to the "vantage spot"...

The table is "Amber's spot", not safe for drinks! lol

Then they were back to playing - with Bella... if you can believe that! They are okay in her books as long as they do not try to nurse from her...

Little pooped puppies!

Mo-Mo has a real practical long hair cut - belly, head and feet clipped short to avoid mats and tangles and long on the sides to "feel" like a Lhasa - he has a beautiful, soft coat.

Ha ha ha... Mysti knows how to stay cool on hot days!

Tiggie was trying to tell Mysti that she is the boss... Bossy is more like it... This should be fun when the other bossy one gets here (Halley) ha ha...

Cassie is still working at that piece of landscape fabric... lol

What are you two up to?? Yoda and Tiggie were in the cool shade under the back steps...

Oh no... lol Look what the pups did... he he... They are just helping me out - Digging holes for the plants I expect to put here after they are all gone...

Loving every minute of the cool dirt too!

Do I have to get out??

Okay, so maybe we can tug out the landscape fabric for you?? lol...

Ah! They DO provide me with so much entertainment! BTW - Did you notice that Mo-Mo and Tiggie are here now?? Yes - glutton for punishment - there were four dogs and four pups...
