Zoomie Time!!!

Yayyy! After what seems like an eternity of gloomy clouds and rain, we had a beautiful sunny day. One of those days with a bright blue sky and an occasional puffy white cloud passing by. Prinnie couldn't believe her eyes when she looked outside this morning. After a week of lying by the sliding door, wistfully watching the rain pouring down and only quick ventures out to potty, she could actually go outside to play. She gleefully yapped at Digby who was only too happy to join her for a romp in the yard. After a couple of quick games of chase, Digby was happy to "hang out" on the patio. Prinnie on the other hand, couldn't contain herself. She spent the next several minutes doing zoomies all over the back yard, around palm trees, up one side walk and back again, through the patio and back in the yard until Mommy was finally able to corral her to ask her if she wanted to go for a car ride.

Of course, that meant more zoomies before both dogs could be safely harnessed into the car. Off we went for a ride by Lake Elsinore with Digby enjoying breathing in the fresh air.

A Perfect Snuggle Up Day

We don't get much rain here in Southern California, so when we do, my mom and mommy rejoice saying it's just what the gardens need.  But what about my agility course?  Don't they understand that when it's raining like this my brother and I don't get to go out and practice?  They tell me that it's a perfect day to just snuggle up and enjoy each other's company.  Sure, OK, what ever!  An energetic girl like me gets bored.  Mom and Mommy must have sensed my growing restlessness and asked brother and me if we wanted to go for a car ride.  Now, those words are music to my ears.  I was so happy and excited that they had a hard time getting my harness on me because I kept dancing in circles and doing zoomies.  Finally, harnesses on and seat belts buckled, off we went to Mom and Mommy's favorite place-Starbucks and then to the gas station.  While we were out, the rain and wind picked up--a lot!  I told brother that I hoped he was a good swimmer because I thought we would need our water wings as we might have to swim home.  Now safely home and dry, Mom and Mommy might just be right after all....it's a perfect snuggle up day.
