amazing things my dog does

I was avidly working on my computer today being assaulted with nauseating dog farts when I was reminded that my poor old girl was aging so quickly. I briefly reminisced on her awesomeness…

  1. the time she graciously unlocked the truck when we accidentally locked her (and our keys) in there while at the gym. no joke. we kept pointing to the door and somehow she managed to keep pawing and unlock the door. it was magical.
  2. the time she jumped off the boat and swam to shore to use the bathroom. she literally swam to shore from our docked boat and back to the boat on 4th of July when we slept out on the water. it was so far but she is just so darn smart. you’d of had to been there – no one could believe she did it.
  3. all the times she has eaten the poop out of the litter box so I don’t have to clean it. awww thanks. not to mention all the loafs of bread and bagels she has stolen from the pantry and counter tops to save me from the carbs – at least that’s what I tell myself…
  4. and she’s always down to bring me some TP when C is too lazy to hook me up.
  5. all the pairs of underwear and socks she has carried into the bedroom from the laundry when I try to carry the huge load and drop stuff. it’s like “fetch” but not as fun.
  6. and most important – always being ready for a snuggle when anyone in the fam needs it.
  7. oh, and W and O would probably also like to add that she’s an excellent mock horse and live stuffed animal.

that’s a damn good dog.

Went to Granite Hill MDW with a huge group this year. We call it “camping” but most all of us have travel trailers which are pretty much like driving a hotel to a campground.

Camping is so great, this years spot was so awesome too. One of the guys had booked it a year in advance! Good spots book so fast, especially for large groups. Most campgrounds consist of a million pull in spots on tiny lots, but this was around the edges of a huge field that was so perfect for the kids to play in.

The girls were in heaven able to just run around like little wild beasts. IMG_2636  I am LOVING this daddy-daughter moment. Such a great pic.

Or this one, accidental capture of my baby being catapulted from the slide. I’m not sure how but she landed on her butt… and of course went back down a zillion more times. IMG_2637 IMG_2638  This is how you travel in large campgrounds, that or walk but who can walk with a herd of children? (most the kids were sitting up by me)

I don’t know about most kids, but mine usually eat better in a group. She actually ate a ham sandwich – um, awesome.

Um, there are no words. Really.

Party in the USA people, we rocked that dance party. O shut it down. Love.IMG_2691 IMG_2695

Community slip-n-slide. That’s whats cool about camping too, neighbors are usually pretty social and neighborly. IMG_2704

This is O on her bike. She doesn’t know how to ride, she says she is scared of it – but she does look pretty cute.IMG_2732

***sparklers**** I didn’t know they were even around anymore!!!
