No Flowers

Sorry but we do not have flowers for you today.  Our mom begged and begged us to let her post the pictures she took at the zoo.  After bribing us with treats we agreed.

The reason our pawrents went to the zoo is that the little girl hooman had a birfday and one of her pressies was to have an interaction with the rhinos (her favorite animal).  So they all got to go over the fence to pet and feed the rhinos.  Mom said it was fun but me and Stanley are more fun to pet.

Some pictures

Stanley wanted to show everyone that his nose is nearly black again.  The pink spots will probably come back in the winter but he is proud of his summer snoze.

I'm just checking out the neighborhood.

We have a dogwood bush that we have been snacking on ever since we were baby puppies.  It's very delicious!

When our pawrents left us ALL DAY on Monday they came back and smelled WEIRD!  We think mom might have cheated on us!

Stare

Me and Stanley have a game called "Stare" and we have played it since we were tiny baby puppies.  The rules are ALWAYS the same:  I stare at Stanley.  This forces Stanley to bark at me.  Then I slowly creep towards Stanley, real light, like a khat, while Stanley frenzily continues to bark.  Then Stanley starts chasing me.  Then we wrestle. We play it ALL the time.

Here we are biting each other's necks.  I will use this technique to roll Stanley over so I can tickle under his armpits.

Now I am going for the "pit tickle".

Then Stanley breaks away and we are back at it.  This is full ears up live action!

Then we have to stop and rest.

Suffering Alone

Tomorrow is going to be a terrible day for me and Stanley.  Our pawrents are going to be gone all day! They are going to the zoo with the grand hoomans cuz the girl grand hooman has scheduled a time to pawsonally meet some animals and touch their furs and skins.  And since it will be 101°F (38.3°C), they will claim to be too tired when they get home.  So me and Stanley are left to suffer.  Good thing we have a doggie door.

A Dood's Job

Me and Stanley were doing our work yesterday.

Sometimes we gotta put in long hours.

Too Hot!

It has been really hot lately!  We are on a cycle of hot weather where the highs are in triple digits (over 37.7C).  That's too hot for mom a Dood!

Flowers With Dory

We're still stumbling around in the flowers and joining Dory in Flower Friday!

On these next 2 I couldn't decide which pic I liked best.

More sunflowers . . .My big one lost all but 2 pedals (so far).  Apparently the bumble isn't phased.

Close up of the center. A seed grows inside each little bloom.

I have 4 in the back yard and 1 in front yard.

This one in the front yard should bloom "any day now".  I'm excited as it has the thickest stalk and is not subject to Doodle action!

Now it opened more in just a few hours!

I gave leftover seeds to the kids next door So far they have the biggest flower!  (That is our house behind it.)

Have a sunny day!
