Summertime Snoozing!

It has been either super hot or super rainy here in the city, it is terrible to be a husky right now. When will autumn come? We can't wait! But in the meantime, there's a lot of this going on:

"Kiki, the chilly weather will come, but while we wait,
let's enjoy this cool tile floor and the AC!"

"Nala, we still have to get through August!
Can I sleep until September? I might try!"

Our favorite store!

Kiki here! Everyday, we walk past our favorite store that sells our fancy dog food.

When the store is open, we sometimes stop by to get a drink of water and a treat.
When it is closed, it is guarded by a scary beast!

"I see you Kiki! Don't come any closer!"

"A guard cat! So scary!"

"You're kinda laying down on the job there Guard Kitty!"

Our garden!

Nala here! Some of our blogging friends have beautiful gardens to show us. We thought we'd join in too! We have a tiny backyard garden here in the city, and our mom did not plant all of it this year to make it easier for me to go out and do my business, old gal that I am. But we have one plant we would like to show off, because it is so showy!

"It's our Lord Baltimore hibiscus! This is the first
blossom of the summer—there will be many more!"

"The blossoms are HUGE and pretty—but not quite as
pretty as me! And that concludes our garden tour!"

Play with me!

Hello! Kiki here to tell you that my best friend (other than my sister Nala) Agnes came to stay for a few days and she wouldn't play with me! When we were younger, she and I played and played and played some more. But now that we are, ahem, mature, Agnes is being a stick in the mud!

"C'mon Agnes,
lets have a little playtime! It would be so fun!"

"I'm being so cute,
how could you resist?"

"Hang out with me Agnes.
Us mature ladies need to stick together!

Cooling off!

Hello! Here in the city, we are suffering through our first heat wave of the summer with temps in the high 90s with lots of sticky humidity. Yuck. But a little girl who loves us brought us a present---our own pool! Now we are living in the lap of luxury! If we could just get mom, eh, the pool lady, to do our bidding!

"Ahhhh, cooling off my hot tootsies
in my brand new pool feels great!"

"I don't swim but I like to sun myself on the patio---
now where is the pool lady with my drink and treat?

"I have a house with a pool! But my pool badly
needs maintenance! Where is the pool lady?
