Happy 4th of July

My country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride, 

From every mountain side let Freedom ring.

Wordless Wednesday: Keeping Cool

 Bless Rudy.  He stayed back so Rosie 

could explore her very first pile of ice cubes solo.
This is very loving of Rudy because he loves
 it when I clean out the ice cube bin!

  Ahhh...  pretty cool!

Can you see how curly her coat is becoming

 thanks to her Golden Retriever mother?

I love it!

Adoptable Black Lab Dog Max: Tuesdays Tails

This beautiful black adoptable dog is Max.  He is a neutered black Labrador Retriever and Beagle mixed breed dog.  About 2 years old, Max is looking for some fun and love in a forever home.

Attentive, curious, eager to explore the world, Max is looking for a companion ready for some nice walks.  He wouldn't mind having a nice big backyard!  

A friendly guy, Max loves people and is very good natured.

Take a look at Max's adoption video and then give the shelter a call! Max is at the Humane Society of Missouri Maryland Heights animal shelter:  314-951-1588.  Max's ID number is A553385

We're participating in the Tuesday's Tails blog hop hosted by Dogs N Pawz.  This is the blog hop that features shelter pets.  Find a pet at your local animal shelter or rescue and join us!  Please help spread the word about these beautiful animals via social media and let's find them forever homes!

Monday Mischief: Vole Hunting with Rudy and Rosie

The dynamic duo at more innocent pursuits.

Rudy and Rosie are quite a team... especially when they're hunting voles.  I managed to get some video footage of one of their vole expeditions a few weeks ago.

Please excuse the shaky camera work.  Not only was I trying not to laugh, I had Jeffie nudging me over and over.  He knew Rudy and Rosie were not supposed to be doing that!

In fact, what cracks me up the most in this video, is Rudy.  Both he and Rosie are aware of me and the camera.  However, Rudy also knows that messing around with critters and digging holes in the yard is a big no-no. 

In the end, good boy Rudy, can't bear it any longer and runs to mama!  Yes, they really did have a vole they were "playing" with.  Thankfully, they did not eat it.

Here's the latest addition to our YouTube channel.

We're joining the Monday Mischief pet blog hop today.  Hosted by Alfie's Blog, Luna Dogs Life, My Brown Newfies and Snoopy's Dog Blog, this is your chance to share your pets tales of mischief and wrap up the weekend.  Join us!
