No adventures, but...

Storms have been passing through all day, but we finally had a chance to take a longer walk. It is HOT here.
I tend to conk out after 15 minutes. I'm still recovering from my lady's surgery I suppose... We Lakies were built to last but some things slow us down, you know.
Here I am after dragging the homie to the shade of the car. I do that a lot. I like to pretend I'm looking for a place to do my lady's business under the shade of a tree or large bush, but then I just stand there to cool off and annoy my homunculus hahaha.

Everyday my homie tries to spend at least a little time "teaching" me obedience and manners until I decide to not even act like I care. Today she reinforced the "MINE" command with her crazy fruit-flavored (I assume, based on the color) running shoes. They are apparently off-limits. Pssh.
But really, we just spent most of the day listening to music and reading (her), throttling squirrels and squeaky cats (me), or sleeping (both of us). Dogs, if you want to live the quiet life, find a grad student writing a dissertation. They don't do anything!

Tosca, you remind Moma so much of her Molly girl. It makes Moma smile to remember her antics.

Keep seeking shade. And taking good naps. And enjoying your stuffies. Life is good. We can tell you are figuring that out!

Dearest Lacie,
I'm stuck in the state of Indiana....for the moment! And by moment I mean at least 3 YEARS! Ahhh! My homie is getting her doctorification in English where the books are just as dusty.

Good luck getting those nasty feet of Scruffy's clean! That's how I feel about the homie's feet: no matter how much I lick, she's still got flip-flop foot.

Ciao-ciao,
Tosca

A good way to bother your human when she is writing. Try bringing her a tennis ball and drop it on the keyboard. I do it all the time, and Mommy always pays me attention.
