Ember and Grace check out a Hazel Run hole...
"Grace, that is a mighty fine hole. Now that you've dug it, what are you going to use it for?" "Whoa!!" "Gonna hide in it!" "What good is that, Grace?"

I think Ember is telling Grace that she dug the wrong hole but they can use it for a back up on a rainy day!

Somehow, Grace pretty much always manages to stay clean Don't know how she does that, but I sure wish she'd teach the others
And yes, Ember was actually playing! He doesn't do that often, but he does have his moments. I thought you'd enjoy seeing him in action, growler.

Grace does not want Ember anywhere near her hole! She dug it. She wants to be the one to use it!! And that's that! Love the story as usual. That second pic of Ember is hilarious!!!

Thanks, 14+!
Yeah, Ember is startled by sudden Grace moves. With good reason--she's definitely a feisty one!!!

They are a rather lively bunch ....leastwise when it's not too hot. Today they just hung around inside, soaking up the coolth of the air conditioning.

Oh the coolth of the air conditioner.
You know that if Grace dug her hole a little deeper it would be nice and cool too!

oh I just remembered .... there was some digging here too Sienna's doing and Nelly , kept going back to it under the patio

Holes are great for cooling bellies Especially if the hole is shaded under the raspberry bushes.
I'm sure Sienna and Nelly are just digging a hole so that Mom can crawl in with them and keep cool, Frenchy!

I was about to join Nelly. This is the first time she would be outside refusing to come back in. Just goes to show you how hot it was. Still 2 more days of this sh**.

We're supposed to be much cooler tomorrow And drier--we've had over 6 inches of rain in less than two weeks...the ground is definitely squishy!
I'm hoping it'll be sunny tomorrow and cool enough for the Pack to want to play again. I want to try out the multiple-frames-per-second feature on the camera

Thanks, LP! Grace and Ember put on a real show when they're horsing around!
As for your crew, they know that if you dig the holes under the tires, it keeps the camper from rolling They're just trying to keep daddy safe!!

Hazel I love your dogs! They are so nice and white, not counting the dot to dot spots of coruse. *G* I didn't know they don't like getting wet. I guess setting up a sprinkler for them to run thru is out of the question then? Debbie

Nope...they think sprinklers are a tool of the devil! Setters are hydrophobic. Water repels them...in more ways than one!

DD, unfortunately, they all do have hidey holes! I'm continually reminding them that their hole collection is big enough and maintained to perfection--no further expansion or maintenance needed...but of course, they don't listen!
L4H, Grace already has two "cool places" of her very own, dug with her very own diminutive paws, plus (being the smallest) she can fit in everyone else's. She's a very well-cooled dog! Nipper belongs to a very exclusive club, babymomma. Aspen (Cole's grandpa and Grace's great-grandpa) is a real water dog! He'll jump in after and retrieve a bumper thrown from the dock--again and again! Cole and Grace just watch him disbelievingly from the safety of the shore. As for dirty dogs...I'll save you some pics next time we get a good mud wrestle going, chico!

Oh, you bet!!! Can you imagine how excited they'd be if someone actually asked them to dig a hole?!? They'd be in seventh heaven...and likely you'd end up with a totally relandscaped yard...as in completely excavated!
Where would you like them to put the dirt?
