The Dog Days of Summer…Literally Speaking

This morning Brad went and helped his parents move some things into a storage shed while I spent some time with our pups.  Nala (rhodesian) loves to run and fast I might add.  My mom calls her our horse, which in a way she does have similar mannerism.  For instance, she runs like a horse, all four legs come off the ground together, its really neat to watch.  Bentley (Mutt) is our little explorer and our “alcoholic” as Brittney’s dad would say, because he can’t hold his “licker”… haha!  He will lick you spotless.  Anyways, I started off the morning by taking the dogs across the street to the park.  They love getting to run and explore, Nala is pretty good about staying in our eyesight, where as Bentley likes to wander behind fences and trees to where we can’t see him… crazy guy.  But when it is time to go they are both pretty good about coming and getting back on their leashes.  This morning our time at the park got cut a little short because of a decapitated animal whose guts were spilling out everywhere.  Obviously, both dogs were overly intrigued by the smell of fresh blood and… need i say more?  Nala is really strong and at one point she got over to the deceased before I could get her to stop, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to pull her off, I ran at her full speed hoping that she would move out of the way… instead she laid down on her back and surrendered, waiving her white flag.  I laughed and home we went.  I decided that it was so hot outside that the dogs needed to be cooled off in the sprinklers and below is how it all went down…
