It has been so hot in MN lately that Maggie has not been able to go outside as much as she would like. The past few days have been cooler though, she is enjoying one her favourite outdoor activities, sleeping in the sunshine.

does Miss Maggie go fishing in her pool for the turtles 🐢 and fish 🐟 after sleeping in the sunshine, ballerina?
her beautiful, shiny black coat must certainly attract the heat - so she’s gotta’ cool off a bit, right?

nas She didn’t swim this weekend, but most days she does fish in her pool for the turtles & fish. Her fur definitely attracts a lot of heat.

I've had two black dogs a lab and a poodle.... both like Maggie LOVED sleeping in the sun...... we called it "doing the black dog thing"
The BEAST and his family are in the mountains this week. There is a HUGE fire #DixieFire in CA that had our cabin under Ready evacuate orders in the Ready, Set, Go series. So for the past few days it's been tense. Now it's just smokey as the amazing firefighters have it under control so far......
The picture is of the BEAST enjoying his cabin experience...

I’m keeping good thoughts for you, kaschu, and hope that your cabin remains standing... stay safe, and keep us posted when you have time...
btw, in the picture Vinnie the Beast looks like he doesn’t have a care in the world - guess he’s leaving the worrying to y’all...

Keep being safe Kaschu...Glad the beast is enjoying the cabin experience. Sadly my cousins house in Vermont burned down in a fire this past weekend and the cabin was the source of a lot of fun for all of us through out the years until they sold it last year.

Buck is meeting my #1 daughter and her hubby for the first time today... so to keep him from getting too hyper when he sees his “Auntie” & “Uncle”, #2 gave him some naturally calming chews...
man, those things really work! he looks pretty calm in this pic! 🤣 View Attachmenthmmm, maybe I should be taking some of those pills... (I know Maxine could definitely use some of them! 😉)
nas
Yes... please share those chews..... I know some humans who can use them....

My vacation was cut very short when the sheriff's department drove through our cabin community and told us it was time to leave as the #dixiefire was thinking of running to our direction. Since we had been on a "Ready" setting for 3 days we were living out of suitcases and most things packed just ready to put into the car, we put them into the car and left. No idea how the cabin fared last night.... or if it will be there for the next set of visitors.... my son and his family were supposed to start out Saturday but they have chosen to go camp in an area that isn't on fire.
On our way home stopped by to see my son and his wife and their new family member. He is a real cutie but had been there for just a couple of days and was unwilling to share. He is 13 weeks old and 32 pounds!! Please meet Theo

I’m sorry to hear your cabin is still in jeopardy, kaschu... 😕 I heard on the news today that the Dixie Fire is the 6th largest in the nation right now... I’m glad y’all got out safely...
your son & family are wise to camp in a 🔥-free area, but are there really any left? it seems like most of California is burning down...
OMG, what a pretty baby Theo is!!! look at the size of those paws!!! 😂 he looks like a German Shepard - is he? and what did the Beast Vinnie think of him?

Thanks Nas.....yes Theo is a German Shepard. Both parents are Shepards they aren't papered but dad is supposed to be HUGE. Theo is going to be quite large.
Theo didn't think much of Vinnie, he was not aggressive, but not backing down, we kept them apart and sync'd potty breaks for the afternoon and evening....
Then we headed home Thursday.... a long drive from Sacramento to Phoenix......

I thought he was a Shepherd, kaschu, but I wasn’t 100% sure... yep, weighing 32 pounds at 13 weeks, that boy is gonna be huuuuge like his dad! please be sure to have your son send pictures so you can keep us posted on his growth...
tho’ I ❤️ all dog breeds, I tend to favor the large breeds... it’s apparent that #2 has inherited my preference by her choice of the Gr8 Pyrenees Buck (and Bowie 😥 before him)...
now you’re back from California and you can relax at home in the “Valley of the Furnace” with our “150° temps”!!! 🥵

Me too - I gravitate towards retrievers. Although as I am older I am downsizing dog size. If they are sick or hurt or need to be lifted it is not as easy as it used to be.
Theo is adorable. Glad you are safe kaschu

so Buck’s first visit with his “Auntie” and “Uncle” went great! he got loads of attention, lots of belly rubs, and all the ❤️ he could handle - he was very happy!
until....
”Uncle” went into the bathroom and closed the door! well, Buck stood outside the door and whined and scratched at it... he was probably afraid that that man was gonna’ get into his bathtub, a.k.a., “the funny looking pile of snow that never melts”... Buck considers that his “Happy Place”, and nobody, but nobody, can use it - except when he lets mommy get in it to take a shower!
very protective of his territory, that Grandoggie of mine... 😂

Vinnie posed for this lovely picture tonight...
Theo from this weekend. Seeking shelter from the sun in the Jade plant. The maple tree apparently wasn't good enough for him...
