Mornings With Moula

Izzy picked the hottest day to have her birthday- actually she did not pick it but boy is it hot outside! The Muffins stayed inside all day and were thankful for that!! We had an inside celebration as Dad came home from work early. Izzy was quite happy and knew it was her special day when Mum made her take her birthday pictures.  And of course, this is the last year that we will have chicken for Izzy's birthday, next year she will be ten and then we get steak! We waited patiently for Mum and Dad to get ready. And after dinner we had chewing bones and all sorts of new toys for the pool and for the house. Then Izzy got a special bone all to herself while the rest of us were busy. We love that Mum makes each of our birthdays very special. Ciao for now my friends...

With such a hot Day, Mum did not want the muffins to be outside too long so they came inside and I think they were happy about it. And on the eve of Izzy's birthday, she had a grand surprise! Mum and Auntie Julie took her and Raven in the pool and I surprised everyone when I swam in the pool too. Not once but two times! Mum was so happy too. Izzy jumped for joy! And swam under water! Raven just kept swimming and swimming! I jumped in and swam not once but two times! It felt so good! I may be an old girl but I still love my pool! Izzy had a wonderful pre birthday surprise!  Ciao for now my friends...

All we really want to do o these very hot days is nap. The muffins interrupt their naps with a little play time. But the rest of us nap and hope for a quick dip in the pool. The puppies love their early morning outings. Before the sun has a chance to really warm things up. And the puppies have a sorts of visitors when they can. THey always find a place to nap.      They are learning to chill out with their Mama . The cool fan helps a lot. There are not too many more days that the Muffins will be together. Heat or no heat we all need to make the best of it. Ciao for now my friends...
