twins!

kim:  i played in a bonspiel in green bay last weekend.  we stayed with the sister of one of my teammates.  their dog, a very sweet 16-year old named makani, looked sooo much like peanut!  i hardly missed peanut at all, since it was like i had her with me.

peanut:  she looks just like a coconut retriever!

dog wash

kim:  since peanut's coat sheds dirt so well, she probably doesn't get a bath nearly as often as she should.  but on a hot day, it's a good way to cool down.  i am not certain that peanut fully appreciates this - she doesn't seem to like it very much when i set up the dog wash, even on a hot day.

peanut:  excuse me, i have to go shake.

lazy summer days

kim: it's been in the 90s for quite a few days, with another week predicted.  this summer could be a real cooker.  i like to consider warm weather an invitation to relax and read, or sometimes follow peanut's lead and just take a nap.

peanut:  they call it the dog days of summer for a reason.  we know what to do with the heat!
