You remember Dad’s foot was hurting before we went to Houston for Mom’s checkup.  He went to see the doctor when we got home.  He has a fracture in his foot.

Dr. Pokey gave him a huge steroid shot in his foot and he has to wear a boot till Oct.  Indy thinks he is a therapy dog.

Poor Dad.  Good thing though…the Daddy Leg Lounge (recliner) is open all day long. ~ Indy and Lucy

After the 4th, July was filled with the dog days of summer: catching some rays,

admiring the garden,

playing with toys,

and watching for intruders.

It’s a dog’s life, right? ~ Indy and Lucy

As soon as Mark, Wendy, Bill, Lesley arrived in late June, we made our visit to the Blue Whale to deliver our rocks.

The whale is located about 60 miles north of us and is a Route 66 icon.  People from all over the world visit daily.  The rocks we painted have our location.  Wendy’s rocks are actually from Bali.

Note we are absent from the pictures because we were home helping Dad get the hamburgers ready.

Till next year, Blue. ~ Friends of the Blue Whale

Our staff (Mom) has been on vacation from writing all summer.  We are so sorry for the inconvenience.  Hmmm.  Where did we leave off?  Oh yeah, we had just returned from Door County.  Here we are on our final day.

Four of these people would eventually turn up in Oklahoma:  Wendy, Mark, Lesley and Bill.  When we returned home our flowers were blooming.

Mom totally loves the wine cooler she bought at Gills Rock Pottery in Door.

Lantana is the perfect plant for Oklahoma summer heat and humidity.

Mom also painted our rock to take to the Blue Whale when everyone gets here.  More catch up later.  We have missed you guys. ~ Indy and Lucy

During the summer where I live(Oklahoma), the temps are hot and humid.  Mom plans our outdoor time for early am and even then she restricts it.  Well, me anyway because she says I don’t know when to stop.

Here’s a list of things to watch for just in case.  Don’t forget to drink plenty of water too. ~ Lucy

Yesterday we were playing in the yard.  Brother grabbed his blue ball and this happened.

It’s hard to tell because he is pawing at it but the blue ball is stuck in his mouth.  Good Grief, what will he do next.  I heard Mom say that it’s going in the trash.  (Photo by Dad).  Arooo ~ Lucy

We had a spa day Sunday so Mom decided on a photo op.

Notice my beard is turning a bit gray.

Everyone says it is very distinguished looking.

Sister has a few gray hairs too.  We are in our 30s in dog years.  Mom said she remembers those as very good years.  BOL!  Bark at you soon. ~ Indy and Lucy

It has almost been a month since we’ve seen you.

Brother is still trying to get my toys.  He also bit a box on the porch and it stuck in his teeth and the roof of his mouth.

Dad broke a popsicle stick in half, using it to clean between Brother’s teeth therefore freeing it from the roof of his mouth.  Dad learned that in horse dental care.

Our cousin Rhett from Ohio came to see us.  We love him.

Mom has been sick so she had some time to play with photo apps.  She is better now.

She also did a toy rotation and guess who is back.  That’s right.  Diet Poopsie.

Bark at you later. ~ Indy and Lucy
