Mary and Leslie
When is it my turn to run??

I should have been named Godzilla!

Ahh, summer has arrived. I swear this dog's mouth continues to grow, even though he has probably reached his maximum growth for his age. The dogs are so happy now that Leslie is done with heartworm treatment and rest restrictions!! They play and play, then Oliver starts to limp and they both lie down and go to sleep.

So, what has Oliver eaten lately you may ask? My good slip-on sandals--rescued once already got finished off when silly me forgot to put them higher than a table top. Many more toys have gotten tossed after being eviserated of all stuffing (most of which passed fairly harmlessly thru Oliver digestive tract). A new toy or two have been quite a hit--I will have to post those photos of him and Leslie-they are great! A new trick Leslie has that just cracks everyone up is her obsession with the flashlight. Joe can play this game forever--shine the light & she will run in circles and practically up walls to catch it. Oliver, dumb as a stump sometimes, just chases Leslie -- with no clue whatsoever to what she is doing. Hilarious!!

I swear though, if I have to buy another watch band for Joe's watch--I may scream! Oliver sneaks into our room and snatches that up, along with the occasional sock or hair scrungie--he just loves gnawing on the leather I guess. So it may not be Toyko--but Godzilla the house eater continues his munching through our belongings. But we love him--the goofball!!

We need these funny distractions as Jessica has been pretty sickly since all the traveling in June. She just doesn't bounce back from any travel--her body just doesn't have the stamina. She is enjoying summer school (when she wakes up), but Libby & Mary are having fun going with her as peer volunteers. So we will just keep plugging away!
