Day at the Beach

This evening we went to the beach. I was all excited and the first thing I did was poop on the beach. Samantha was a doll and even cleaned it up for me. Then we headed down to the water. It was nice and calm no waves and just deep enough to swim in. Great fun was had by all. Even Samantha and Ethan were having fun. 

This is me after getting out of the water, my fur is all wet and salty. The sand even sticks to you. 
Well, I enjoyed the tidal pool so much we decided to go down to the ocean. The only thing about the ocean is the water chases you. Who knew that would happen?
This is a picture of me trying to avoid the waves. There was no way I was letting the kids drag me back near those waves. 
We had a good time at the beach. I got to dig some and meet some new dogs. I did have to take 2 showers(what's up with that). They washed me off before letting me ride in the car and then as soon as we got home Emory took me in the back yard and give me another bath and even used soap. At least I finally got to take a nap before bed time.

Miles' new doo

Miles had his first haircut today. He picked out the Schnauzer style cut. And since it was summer he wanted it extra short.

This should be way cooler and he got a neckerchief to go with the trim. 

You've got mail

Ok it is junk mail and it wasn't actually addressed to me but it had my name on it. It turns out it is a coupon for flea medicine, But it had my name on it. Even my vet sells my information. I am told it was a form letter but it had my name on it 6 times. At least that is what I was told as I can't actually read. 

The Dog ate my homework

Who knew dogs were so good at math? Here Miles is showing Ethan and Samantha how to do algebra. Or he could be thinking let me have that book. I promise I will only chew on a few pages. Ok maybe just this corner, not even a whole page.

Note:

Miles has plenty of his own chew toys and is good about not chewing on things he isn't supposed to.

Well it seemed like a good idea

I wanted to see what was up on the bar so Samantha put me up on the stool. I was able to see everything up on the breakfast bar. But then I realized I had another problem....

It is sure a long way down..........

Well, Samantha finally took pity on my and let me down. 

Swimming lessons

Swimming lessons?

Samantha and Chole decided that they were going to give Miles swimming lessons. They proceeded to fill the bath tub with water and let him play in the water. Then they held him up slightly and he was moving his feet like he was swimming. Of course everyone involved got wet. We had to wash 4 towels, mop the floor and wash and dry the rugs. The good news is miles doesn't mind taking baths. In this picture he looks like a drowned rat. 

Mowing the lawn

Today, Emory went into the shed in the back yard and got out this weird looking thingy. It smelled like old grass. Then he went and pulled on this rope thing with a handle on it. The next thing I knew it was making an awful racket. It scared me so much I ran all the way back into the house. I knew the kids would keep me safe from this contraption. After a while Ethan put me on my leash and took me out in the front yard. Emory was still pushing this thing around in circles and cutting the grass. Other then the noise this makes it easier to run around in the yard. You aren't getting me too close to this thing though!!!
