A perfect summer day!

Finley relaxes at the lake house.

Never bend your head...

Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.  Helen Keller

Finn and his four fathers...

Happy Fathers Day to my favorite fathers...Al, my father-in-law, Mike, my hubby, Bryan, my brother-in-law and Howard, my Dad.  You guys are the best.  Finley thinks so too. Thanks for a great day!!

The world always looks brighter...

from behind a smile!

Run Finn, Run.

Running is the greatest metaphor for life, 

because you get out of it what you put in it. Frank Shorter

Dumbo would be proud..

Finley and Star played together and their ears flew every which way.  

They do love each other!

Summer Do...

Finley got his summer haircut today at his favorite groomer, Claudia at Shear Paradise Pet Salon. 

I tried to get a two for one, but Dylan wanted none of that. Well at least the dog looks groomed.

Where's Finley?

This seems to be Finley's hangout of choice. Can you blame him?

Couch Dog.

Finley loves to sit in the backyard, on the couch, and enjoy a sunny day.

We may have to buy another one just so we can join him.

Lake Beulah Synchronized Swimming Team.

Finley and his cousin Libby swim together this Memorial Day Weekend. 

Can't you just smell the wet dog?

Guest Photographer.

My lovely daughter Taylor snapped this photo of Finley, me and Mike 

while hanging out in the backyard today.  

Looks like she takes after me. Sorry Mike.

Water, good for the soul...

Remember the days of drinking water from the hose? Who didn't love that? Finn certainly does. 

Nice and cold.  Keeps him cool.

Keep it coming!

Temp hits 90 today...

Even Finley needed a beer to cool off today. I am pretty sure Mike drank it anyway.

Un Petit Chien...

dans le Jardin.

Ok, he might not be dancing, but he does love to hang out in the garden.

May your joys be as bright as the morning...

and your sorrows merely be shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.

Three's a charm!

So good to have Lauren home from school. 

She could not believe how big Finley has grown. She also gives Starr some extra love. 

I think they missed her too!

It's a good idea to begin at the bottom...

in everything except learning to swim. 

We let Finley try out his new life jacket. He looks so cute in it!

He loves the water, but we want to make sure he can swim before letting him in without one. 

Merde il pluet!

For my non French speaking friends...

Shit, it's raining!

If your middle of the road...

all you see is the yellow stripe.

Happy Mother's Day!

Spent the day with my family up in WI. 

I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such LOVE!
