Hair of the Dog, whaaaat?

This is a pirated/borrowed post from our friend, Hot Dog Junie's blog. Our friends, Kel and Chris came over for a doggie playdate with their girl, June, and a dog they are fostering, Haze, who is available through TriState Weimaraner Rescue.  Haze is an awesome 4 year old purebred Weimaraner who is well-mannered, gets along with other dogs, trained and looking for his forever home.  I gave him a mani-pedi and he sat like a pro, letting me dremel his nails.  We had a great day, walking and letting the dogs play in the yard.

 

Hair of the Dog, whaaaat?***

I did a 5k yesterday!.... and lemme tell you all sumfin': I am NOT doing another 5k this month... I am too old for this sh*t BOL... This playdate yesterday I think was torture... We walked for so long up and down hills wif Auntie Linda and Jam & Savi. We were EXHAUSTED! (I am still tired today and wanted no part of a long fast fast again wif the Ma)
We slept the whole ride home! I was in my crate, so Da took a picture of Haze:

Seriously though we had FUN! With a capital F-you-enn! When we first got there all 3 girls were outside and then Jam and Trixie got crated since I never was there before and Haze was there but awhile ago. Savi was our hostess! We hung on the deck in the sunshine and I got to de-stuff one of the toys in the puppy toybox! Savi and Haze: Then they ate lunch which smelled delish! After lunch, they took the boy back on the deck for a mani-pedi and Da got a lesson on how to dremmel...not that he's gonna come near ME with one of those things, but it's good to know, ya know?

After our fast fast, we got to play in the yard OFF LEASH!! Haze went up the teeter and I was showing off my down-stay! The girls were wrasslin' like lunatix... personally i can not beleive how full of energy that pbp is! After that long walk, she was still raring to go! And she is relentless with Jam! Da took lotsa pictures. I'm the one who is fuzzy (pink and brown collar) Haze has a red collar/prong and a blue leash, Jam has a purple collar and Savi is the little one in the pinkish collar.
We really had a GRAY-T time and hope to do it again soon...

Oh, and I also wanted to share a new nickname for the fosterboy: Hazelnuts!!!

Ma's little cousin came up with that one on Easter. We all laughed. It fits, too because he is a little nuts BOL! He and I both enjoyed all the company on Easter at Ma and Da's.
