Mysti had to have her turn at the digging too...

A chase game is about to start again - can you see how I know??

Yup! Here they go!

Simba is smart! Hid behind the chair... so Mysti went right back to her digging...

This is why they do it - nice cool place to rest in the heat... but sure makes for lots of baths!

Back to the pups at play now...

Oh, oh! Is that Simba digging now, too?? lol... Don't worry - they DO forget this and it is easily correctable, if they do dig and you don't want them to - ask me how (notice I moved the digging from my gardens to the rock area - where I prefer it)

Darn pesky squirrels tease my pups all the time! lol

Mysti and Simba playing chase...

Come on Cassie - you come get me too!

No? Okay... I'll dig with you again...

Do it again!!

Come on Mysti... Lick my toes again! lol

Oh, Andre was in his glory... Sweet giggles abounded!

Mysti is smitten! Cassie just wants those wiggling toes... ha ha!

Awwww... So sweet!

Ha ha... settling in for the big toes!

Some friends came to visit...

My dear friends Steve and Naimh came to visit, with my proxy grandchild Andre...

Niamh just adores puppies and I sure miss her living next door!

Ha ha... think she loves them like little babies??

But watch what is going on here...

Yes... the puppies discovered some bare toes!

Simba and Cassie cleaning up the peanuts he broke out of the shell...

Ha ha... the other pups were all trying to get up on the table ledge here

The dogs were all "guarding" the pups while they played...

Bella was totally engrossed in chewing her foot, for some reason - nothing wrong...

Simba watched carefully as his "sister" Halley started digging...

Simba

The pups got spunky when they came back into the air-conditioning...

Simba was having fun playing tug with them.

He came outside with me, when I went to feed the blue jays - ha ha...

The little monkey wanted the peanuts I had put out for them!

This is my daily offering to the squirrels, chipmunks and birds - they love peanuts... and obviously, so does Simba. Wish I could have gotten a better picture, but it is kind of hard to do...

A Mother's love...

Love this shot... total patience and devotion... It was so hot and Cassie just draped herself over her Mommy...

Yeah - and Brandy looks so fussed, eh?! ha ha... Her pups could do ANYTHING to her and she would not complain.

Mysti was under a lawn chair...

Tiggie too, but Cassie wanted to play with me after I "woke her up".. Cute!
