The dogs just adore their yard with the fence. They run around playing; are able to go inside or outside whenever they want (per hubby - "they do what they wan!"); and tumble about with each other. It is great to see them enjoying themselves.
I would like to get some dog agility equipment back there for them, eventually.
Mr. Cheesers is coming along quite well. Hubby got up last night for the 3am & 6am feedings; thank goodness. Because I was out of it with a few baby aspirins. In the photo of him/her you can see the pretty little pink feet & the cute little ear. It has still not opened its eyes yet. From what I ascertain from sources, kittens open their eyes at 10 days. We have been massaging him, and Angus even gave it a tongue bath, so the poor little orphan is getting its share of mothering.
Friday late afternoon, we got the bikes - along with Bravo & Isabelle we went down to Farragut Park to ride. On our usual course, we noticed that horses had torn it up more than usual. All the downed trees have been taken off the trail so it is cleared. But it felt more like an off-road motorcycle track than anything! But it was fun to get out to ride. Both of us felt that we were in poor shape from the winter; the dogs were also totally exhausted. Isabelle had foam coming out of her mouth, Bravo looked beat. Poor guy. He needs the exercise to lose the extra weight he packed on during the winter months.
Afterwards, Greg went down to the shop to work with the guys while I went for walks with the dogs. Hubby came home at 9:15 - quite late.
We actually slept in until 8:15 Saturday morning; then went to get lattes with all the dogs; and then came back to clean up the yard. I am picking up all the sticks and branches. Then will mow it. Next week sometime Joe (our friend) is coming with lots of dump truck yards of fill dirt for the back yard & the circle drive. Then Dave (the landscaper) will get the grass going, the pond finished & plant my lilacs. It will look fabulous.
Also cleaned out Angus' kennel & bedding. I hope to do some vacuuming, too. Already got 3 loads of laundry done. Kitten bedding, our clothes, & towels.
