Gotta luv them water dogs...

Many people are awaiting news on Morgan and are checking the blog daily -- sometimes several times a day. Well, I have nothing to report just yet. I'm sorry - I wish I did.

This past weekend was beautiful. As such, I took three of the Chessies - Morgan, Rip & Jessie to the local dog park. I talk about this park quite often in my posts as it's just fabulous for the dogs. Trixie stayed home this time, as it's too cumbersome for me to try handling 4 Chessies at once by myself. This upcoming weekend, provided we don't get too much rain, Trixie will be going for her outting. ;) Afterall, I try to be fair to all the pups.

What's the best way to spend 4th of July?

Today Rip, Morgan and I met up with some wonderful friends - Kristin & Glen - who have been watching Trixie for the past few weeks. We, along with their friend visiting from PA, had a fabulous day!!

First, Morgan & Rip were reunited with Trixie -- who felt the need to badger her mother and brother. The puppies rip roared through Kristin & Glen's house with such excitement to see one another. Kristin & Glen got to see a whole 'new' side of Trixie as she turned into a little demon when Rip & Morgan were around.

Next, we grabbed a quick lunch at a local fast-food joint, where the pups got to indulge in a few salty fries. I know, I know, shame on us! Then, off to the beach we went!

Kristin & Glen live in the most fabulous area and it's only 5 mins. from the beach (which dogs are allowed on)! The day was perfect. Although it was overcast, the rain held off while we were at the beach, and there was a nice breeze. It wasn't too hot or too sunny and it helped make it THE perfect Chessie/beach outting. Of course, we'll be having LOTS of doggy dates in the future!

A huge thanks to Laura (I think that's right) Kristin & Glen's friend from PA for taking these photos and sending them along!

Trixie's first day at the beach!

Trixie was off visiting with some wonderful friends for a few weeks. They were giving her some much needed one-on-one time, socialization and good 'ol lovin'. While she was there, I received the most fabulous updates on her along with photos of her first beach visit! I really think she enjoyed herself!!

Congratulations Oak!!

Oak earned another 2 points at the Orlando Dog Show 6/26 & 6/27 thus giving him 7 points (including one major)!! Not too shabby for just turning 9 mos. old the day before the show began! :D
