SISTER SWIMS

Quiet mornings sometimes lead to exciting days. Even when they start out slow. Quiet is the time to relax. And play with family. Or by yourself. And it is a time to rest up because... Not so little Lexie (Formerly known as Apple) came over with her Mum and Dad to see Blueberry and to learn how to swim. Blue showed her the ropes and told her all about our pool. Then Mum carried Lexie into the water. And Blue watched They had a great time together and Lexie was a natural just like the rest of us. It ws a glorious exciting day! Dusty got to play with her daughters- closely supervised. Then Blue and Lexie said their good byes for now. It was a lovely end of a special day. Ciao for now my friends...  

LA FAMILIA

Mum lets Blueberry play with all of us as much as possible but When Dusty is around , Blue needs to be supervised.  Dusty can play too rough and Blue can cause scars on Dusty. Mum does not want Blueberry to learn to play rough. But she looks forward to pool time with Mum. Mum never forces her to swim. She waits patient ly for Blue to get her fill of hopping from one float to the nest. And when Blue is ready, she hops off the float and swims to the dock. This happens several times a session. Then it's time to dry off and relax before we are all together again. Ciao for now my friends...  

SWIMMING LESSONS

Blue goes into the pool with Mum when ever she can. She swims some laps then goes from one float to another. She will let the ball float away from her so that Mum has to throw it back. It's a fun game. Of course Izzy thiks it should be her in the pool with Mum. I'm okay staying out of the pool these days. We will wait for sunnier days hopefully. Blue comes inside to eat and drink and play with toys in the kitchen. And then she relaxes on the sofa. We all have this routine down pretty well. Ciao for now my friends...  

DOG DAYS INDEED

It's truly the dog days of summer time here. Mum  is busy getting ready for the new school year and cleaning the house and gardens and tending to us and training Blueberry as best she can. She pays the bills and trims the grass and makes the dinners and picks the veggies and cleans our eyes and ears and coats. Mia helps with her grand dog most days and we do try to make  things easier for her. Then Dad comes home to feed us dinner while Mum teaches lessons. And we do it all again the next day. Ciao for now my friends...
