More Bubba Cuteness

Tonight, the Bubbas watched Gabe play ball with my sister's dog. They look pretty cute looking out the window, don't they?

Just Stuff and Things

Leo is still all jacked up about the kids swimming in the pool. Each night, Gabe and I go sit on the steps of the pool and let the dogs come up to us and hang out. They both are getting better and Gabe even tossed a bit of water onto Leo's nose. No big deal. The fear and stress must also stem from the kids yelling and screaming like kids do when they swim.

Today, Chris and Jerilyn brought over their two little puppies, Leo and Boy, to play with Leo and Bella. Their kids, Joey and Charlie, each picked out a name for his puppy. Joey, who used to be scared to death of my Leo, decided to name his new puppy Leo. Charlie named his puppy the first thing that came to his mind. Makes me laugh. Here are some pics of all of them.

Ok - this last picture - I don't really know what to say about it. Earlier, when Boy tried to hump Leo, Leo tossed him off like a rag doll and gave Boy a dirty look.

Bubba Is Acting Weird

So, when Leo and Bella got here last (late) October and November, respectively, it wasn't exactly swimming weather. For the past seven months, Leo and Bella have been running circles around the pool for hours at a time. They chase each other around the pool and both dogs drink out of it (we don't encourage that but it's virtually impossible to police). Now that the weather is getting hotter, the kids are starting to come over to swim.

Dominic and Joey jumped in the pool the other day and the dogs freaked out. The have never seen anyone swim in the pool before. Leo put his tail between his legs and fast-trotted down to the back. Bella scurried away and sought shelter at the end of the alley between the garage and house. We figured that after a couple of days they would calm down and get over it.

Today, when I got home from the studio, Leo and Bella were clamoring to get into my house. The kids were swimming. When I opened my door, they both made a mad dash to Gabe's desk and Leo literally stuffed himself into the back of the desk. Really! He can't get any further in... And he faces the corner.

I'm baffled. But they need to get over it. Summertime = swimming at this house.
