A Lazy July Day

We have been getting our share of rain.  We wish we could sent that to the states that are in drought to help them out.  It has been hot and humid too.  That means we have been spending time enjoying the air conditioning. 


Dad has been trying to clean up the house and to our amazement, suceeding.  An article he read suggested to use a system, and it suggested cleaning left to right.  He did that in the kitchen and we can see our countertops, and that has been true for two weeks.  Next came the living room, it looks a lot better.

Our friends at the "Collies of the Meadow" awarded us "The Very Inspired Blogger Award."  Given the summer heat and humidity, we think it should have been the very perspired blogger.   We would like to give the award to:
  1 - Reilly & Denny
       http://cowspotdog.blogspot.com/
  2 - Katie and her Mum Dawn King
       http://dawnking.interspike.com/
  3 - Jan's Funny Farm
       http://jansfunnyfarm.blogspot.com/
  4 - Duffy at Collies and Life
        http://colliesandlife.blogspot.com/

Lastly, we regret to say we are going to word verification for awhile.  A spammer decided to keep leaving stuff behind.  We were getting maybe twenty spam emails and posts a day.  It was driving Dad's nutz.  Hopefully, we can return to normal after a month or two.

Dog Speed,

Essex & Sherman

We've been getting a bit (a small bit at a time) of rain, too! Lassie and Petal have been extra fluffy with the humidity. ;P

Congrats on your award! Very well deserved!
Sorry about the spammers, that's always annoying.

You're looking as gorgeous and as handsome as ever, Essex and Sherman!

It's been hot and miserable here and all we've managed to do with the boys are silly little indoor games. We are definitely waiting for winter!

Hot up here too, and we're not used to it! But we're adjusting. Our grass however is not. It's brown. We sure could use rain. Thanks for the blogger award...I don't think I know how to put it on my blog though! But we'll write up a post about it!~


Glad you guys are doing well..when you get done cleaning can you come up here? We need help just like we need rain! Left to right huh....might just work!
