First order of business is the winner of my book from last Thursday’s contest. Congratulations to Molly and Alfie who were spot on with 120 photos! Nice guess work! This Thursday there will be another chance to win!
You may have read in the papers that cousin Lena was staying at my B&B for a week. I know word about these big events gets around. We were really excited, but the weather could not have been worse. We had temperatures in the upper 90’s, with dew points in the 70’s which set records that we weren’t thrilled about setting. Aside from early morning and evenings, it was just too hot for us to be outside. We made the most of the visit anyway, and Mom had strawberry/banana homemade ice cream treats to cool us down.
One evening we got our doggy wild pants on and had a super wild game of chase, even Katie participated a bit! Look at the speed we had going on, amazing!
Lena seems to handle the corners pretty well too!
This photo is not top quality, but I had to post it. As you know I am wabbit crazy, and here it looks like I am becoming part wabbit with my ears up!
Lena bagged a goose one morning while waiting for mom to finish getting dressed.
I read a very informative book to Lena about the benefits of being a “Bad Dog”. She wasn’t sure it was good information.
Sometimes I really wonder if Lena is okay mentally, as she is so fixated on that darn tennis ball. I think she would fall over dead before she would stop chasing that thing! Speaking of dead, this heat is killing our lawn even with a sprinkler system, BUT the weeds are still flourishing, great!
In the end, we had some quality nap time, including Bert. Mom always says that a tired dog is a good dog.
Lena is back home now. We miss her, but we all had a blast and I’m sure she will be back.
I’m joining in the Monday Mischief blog hop brought to you by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, My Brown Newfies

Mollie and Alfie
I’m so happy you won! You can spread the word in the UK after you read my book. Maybe you can find my parents and let them have a look at where their baby is now 😉 PS Bad dogs do have more fun I think!
WOW! It sure was fun seeing y’all have so much zipping around fun! Hooray for Mollie & Alfie!
Chase and wrestle is our favorite game!
even with the hot weather it appears that you had a great time! Barks and licks and love, Dakota
We managed to get out a bit now and then, it was fun.
Well it looks like you all were able to get some fun in despite the heat! We are hoping for some cooler weather in a few days so we can get into some really good mischief!
Yesterday and today are wonderful, cold nights and highs in the mid 70’s, finally!
Well done to Mollie and Alfie. Have a marvellous Monday and stay cool..
Best wishes Molly
Lucky for us the weather is quite cool now.
Looks like you guys had a very fun week with Lena! Having company is super terrific!
🙂
We love having friends come and visit, it spices things up a bit.
You had a terrific time and I must agree- a tired dog IS a good dog. 🙂
We are usually tired out dogs, so I guess we are good dogs 😉
I love your rabbit photo and yeah what’s up with those tennis balls?
Katie steals them and forces the other dog to chase her to get them back, but I just don’t see the point!
I just ordered your book. I am so excited.
I hope you like it! If you do, please write a review where you ordered it, lots of reviews help with promoting the book.
I ordered from amazon and of course Katie and I will write a review. I will be my Holiday book present.
You and Katie are wonderful friends 🙂
Sounds like you all made the best of it, despite the heat. And how nice that your mom made you guys frozen treats to help cool you all off. 🙂
We are pretty lucky, she says we are spoiled rotten but we don’t feel rotten at all 🙂
Omigoodness! I love your wabbit ears!! And the zoomies! And the resting! All of it! You know you have to visit tomorrow, right? We’ll be giving away wabbit jerky.
How many times can I enter??? I sniff by your blog everyday, Flea…and if there is wabbit jerky I wouldn’t miss it!
What a great visit Lena had! I’m so glad you got to get some running in some, in spite of the heat. I love the photos with you all running (you both look fast!), especially the one with your wabbit ears, Emma!
Racing is our specialty. I may have short legs but they are fast and I do corners well too 🙂
Love that picture with your wabbit ears! Too cute! Lena is so lucky to get to visit you and Katie! You guys always have so much fun!
I’m a dog that is all about fun, play hard, sleep hard 🙂
Congratulations Mollie&Alfie! Emmy your ears are priceless! maybe you could read this book to me too? It’s sounds interesting and maybe I could learn something. have a great Labor Day!
That is a book that every dog needs to read or have someone read to them…see if they have the audio book for yourself 😉
Sounds like you had a fun time despite the heat. Love the wabbit picture…lol. I think that may be one of my favorites of you!
It was a great accidental photo!
Lena is a real cutie. It look like you had lots of fun despite the heat – you need to get mom to put a pool in the back – Lena would have loved that!
I do have my little pool but Mom did not want us getting all wet at night. We had it out over the fourth of July when she was here and she lived in it. I hardly got to even get in because she was hogging it!
Well, Emma, you always make me smile ’til my cheeks hurt but bringing in Lena was totally unfair! Now my cheeks will be sore for days!
I love to have happy friends! There is so much seriousness and sadness in the world, I want people to come to my blog to get their happy on 🙂 Happy Labor Day!
Pawsome pictures today, Emma! It looks like you guys were having tons of fun. I can tell you’re both zooming really fast. Your B&B is just the best!
Love the pictures of you all resting and reading too. And your mom sure got a good one of Lena with that goose. Bet Lena’s family will want to frame that.
She loves to capture our toys when she visits! We always have fun with Lena visits.
Emma, I adore that picture of you reading to Lena! BOL!
The heat has been bad here for us, too, and our yard looks pretty much like yours. I’m glad you were able to have so much fun entertaining Lena. Flattery feels the same way as Lena about her tennis balls. I just don’t see the appeal, though!
Bunny
Tennis balls are so uninteresting but some dogs just can’t help themselves! You might want to read that book too, very informative!
Hey Emma
That Lena sure got you guys all riled up, even your ears, loved that pic! Your house looks very pretty! 🙂
I love that you run a B&B, you always have such interesting guests!
Have fun,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
It keeps some variety in our lives and usually the friends are younger so they get us to go wild again!
Woof! Woof! to Molly n Alfie for winning your book. First mom is so amazed on your very green lawn. I bet Lena wants to extend her stay at your B&B. You guys had Lots of FUN FUN FUN! Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I think Lena would love to stay longer but she does miss her mini humans when she is at our house.
Rooo Emma, you could be part Entlebucher with crazy ears like that! Mine always go flying when I run – they’re like a sort of speedometer *waggy tail*.
Alfie – http://www.alfiesblog.com
If they are a speedometer then I guess I was traveling at autobahn speed! Yay! Love racing super fast!
Wow… Lena looks so much like my Rudy!! 🙂
Bring Rudy over next time Lena is here and we can compare 🙂
Congratulations to Mollie!
Emma, you look great with rabbit ears! It looks like you all had lots of fun.
We had a blast!
I love that picture with your ears straight up Emma, you do look like a wabbit!!
Eh, what’s up doc??? Bugs Bunny 🙂
You always have such great group photos. I bet it takes some doggy-persuading to make everyone sit down together? I also love the pics of you reading, Emma. Books are great! =D
Well, I love to pose for photos, Katie never wants to look at the camera, and Lena will look if you have a toy or treat in one hand 😉 We often sit together on our own too, just looking at the camera is the tough thing.
Cute! I love that photo of you with your ears up like a rabbit. 🙂
That is me the wabbit!
As always…such lovely pictures!!!! Emma, you are so photogenic…We have that book too..”Bad Dogs Have More Fun” Enjoy your day!!!!
Glad to see my friends are all reading the right books – LOL!
