We've been keeping cool in the pool this summer and the dogs love it, especially Riley. Luckily, my aunt has an enormous pool and once or twice a month we go over there and let the dogs go swimming. Riley has been itching to do this since day one. We were told he LOVED the water and it didn't take him long before he was swimming the entire length of the pool. It's such a beautiful thing to watch. Koda and Indiana are still a little unsure about actually using there legs to paddle through the water but I think eventually they will come around. As a matter of fact, poor Indy lost his balance and fell in the pool and you'd think he was drowning, lol. I'll never forget those big brown eyes saying, "save me, save me!" when it happened. Luckily, I was right there next to him when he fell in and all I could do was laugh. He wasn't hurt or anything so it wasn't that big of a deal. When there not at Aunt Ruby's they have their little kiddy pool in the backyard to keep them cooled off. It's not as big but it does the job.
We've been taking some wonderful walks in the evening when it's not as hot out and I've decided to take my camera along and got some really nice shots of them playing at the levee. Indiana and Koda are just so photogenic. I've been wanting to get some shots of them with a nice background and what better than the sky itself!
The first picture is Indiana Jones. All 73.6lbs of him! He may look like a chunky puppy but this pic just proves he's all muscle and my arm can prove it. I've definitely HAVE to work more on walking on a leash with him because he isn't done growning yet and he'll be walking me very soon.
Here's Koda Bear looking as if any minute now her ears will guide her into flight, haha. It was nice and windy that day, thank God, and Koda's little ears were dancing in the wind. It's a joy to see her smile and appear to have no worry in the world.
Ahh, my only really good shot of Riley that day. Riley is a velcro dog and doesn't like to be away from anyone for too long. He's the type of dog that likes to "check in" with you and let you know he's still here. He's the dog everyone wants to walk on the leash because he doesn't pull unless Koda is too far apart from him in which case he will wait for his sister to catch up. He likes to be at your side, leash or no leash.
Two peas in a pod. Littermates Dakoda and Riley enjoy a day of off leash play at the levee. So happy together....
Dakoda and Indiana Jones high in the sky. What a wonderful smile on both their faces. The sky's the limit!
