Bella\u2019s Shave<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As an annual ritual, and for Bella\u2019s comfort, comes her yearly summer-shave. It\u2019s quite a remarkable transition. Bella, with all her furr, weighs just over 7 total pounds. So she\u2019s extremely tiny to begin-with. After shaved I can\u2019t imagine that she weighs in excess of 6 pounds!<\/p>\n

She is so little but she is in wonderful health. She eats, drinks, terrorizes (her Mommy, Daddy and Brother) and most importantly, poops really well for her 13 years.<\/p>\n

Jack\u2019s Walks<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson certainly loves his walks. Anytime he hears the word \u201cwalk\u201d his ears get perky, his tail gets waggy and he heads to the front door in great anticipation of his upcoming adventure. As much fun that Jack has during his walks the fact of the matter is that it\u2019s more fun for me to watch him be so happy. I personally get more satisfaction from our walks then he does I bet.<\/p>\n

Jack I have been taking more frequent walks and general late at night or early morning. Jack is a very social guy but he tends to get over-exuberant with other dogs so it\u2019s best that other dogs aren\u2019t around for his walks. When I walk him at these off-hours it allows me to let him run freely in our local park which he loves.<\/p>\n

Just this morning Jack and I walked all around the park and the baseball fields. It was awesome!<\/p>\n

Pool Open<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s that time of year, once again, for Brandee and I to open our pool. With temperatures predicated to approach 100+ degrees in the next few weeks, a nice refreshing dip in the pool is required.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I think many years of experience really paid-off for us this year. Typically opening the pool was a real mess for many reasons including a poor pool cover or lack of filtering. It was traditionally a mess and took weeks before the pool was ready for action.<\/p>\n

This year was exceptional because we did things right and it only took a few days to prepare the pool for action. Firstly, the cover we used this year was outstanding and kept all the nasty\/wintery junk away! Also, after opening we have a strong filter and bottom-sweeping tools.<\/p>\n

So we are ready for action and we welcome anyone who would like to come take a dip!<\/p>\n
