Venerable seniors deserve all the extra cushiness
Sometimes Bedja lies down by himself on hard surfaces but then I move him to something softer.
(Here) it's enough to just begin saying the words "Do you want---" and both head tilt and the "WHAT?!-OF-COURSE-I -do!!" -face is a givenRipley normally, eye boogs and all

Ripley when I start asking her questions. She head tilts, especially with words she's never heard.
"Do you want to go to the park and get some pizza?"

I can never decide which is worse, the heat or the rain. It's either slogging through muddy, slippery surfaces or dripping in sweat. Poor Shylah needs a pool to cool down.Same here. It's really hard to work Ripley in any kind of sun for any little length of time. Doesn't have to be very hot even, just sunny.Not bad when you want them to chill out but hard when you are trying for that last rally leg! A run took me only 2.5 min and she was checked out.

For a Doberman the heat is worse. Kaiser can do anything in any weather conditions but not heat. A pool is a great idea! Kaiser enjoyed his even when it was empty

Yeah, I'm really considering looking into it...my family will think I'm crazy, but oh well. Shylah is always trying to fit herself in the water bowl after playing or working in the sun for the last hour. Especially when cool for us is 75-80°.For a Doberman the heat is worse.

It’s just a cheap plastic kiddie pool. I know your selection of stores is probably rather different, but this was in the children’s summer section of Walmart and couldn’t have been even $10, maybe even $5. Maybe Amazon ships to you?

Oh yes! That would work beautifully. Thanks...I'll probably see what is available here, but that is an excellent idea!

Tried again in the early evening. So much more responsive! Went from many sloppy mistakes and wondering where the heck she was mentally to being in tune with me the whole way! Had to retry one sign for -3pts because she stopped to itch herself and forgot what we were doing and that she was supposed to auto sit lol. But soooo much better!!Same here.

Took her to our property and the store on Friday but went in our other car so she got to ride in the back seat. I think she really enjoyed it

There is a big willow tree that has been at my state park forever. Often times you will see people go underneath the leave and hang out. Although I have gone there almost every day for over 13yrs, I have never went inside.
Well I did yesterday with Jasper. They cut a little hole for people to walk in. I was surprised to see all the carvings on the tree! It was strangely beautiful to look at. Although I don’t like cutting up trees.

Had the neighbors over yesterday for a BBQ and we had ALL the pups come, too! Mila on the left, Oakley in the back, Vanilla Moose on the right. Rubie was taking a nap when they came over but got to hang out with everyone when the neighbor dogs went home for their own naps!

A couple more pics from this weekend!
Saturday, we went to a friends house to enjoy his 60ft heated saltwater pool (!!!!). They just moved (back) here toward the end of last year so this was our first time enjoying the pool. They have a pug named Snuggles who loves floating around.
Oakley was SO HAPPY to be outside and hanging out on the 4th! She couldn't stop rolling around in the grass and smiling. She's an older gal but Moo just loves her.
I got my husband some Frisbee Golf discs for his birthday in April and this weekend was the first time we've been able to go out and try them! Of course... the course is in the park where they set the fireworks off from so we could only play about 5 of the 19 'holes.' Had a great time and we weren't too terrible
These guys were TOAST all day yesterday
