So Mark and I got married in September so THAT is my excuse for not posting very much over the summer... So here is my quick Summaer Summary!
We took them to the local dog parka lot and they loved running free and meeting a ton of new dogs. A few things we learned from this:
Zoey is a very submissive dog
Penny is not and runs up and barks at pitbulls and rottweilers alike
They can't stay away from the mud
The fit right in with the little dog packs

After the dog park they usually crashed hard... this is a common position, snuggling together up on the couch...

When my mom was up, we closed the blinds so they couldn't bark at other dogs on walks or squirrels hanging out on the lawn... Zoey found a way in and then they proceeded to fight with the drapes between them... sheesh!

Zoey LOVES her rawhide... Penny is just starting to like eating rawhide, But Zoey can't get enough...
Is this why she looks so fat? LOL... Zoey is the biggest suck and often cuddles with Mark like this while he watches TV...

A favourite place to hang out this summer was my parents house! The huge backyard and tons of trees is great for them to go exploring... in this picture, Zoey was relaxing in the shade after being "chased" around by Penny.
Relaxing inside the house while Dad cooked us a yummy steak dinner...
Penny also quite enjoying the outside... and cleary very tired from "chasing" Zoey around. When I say chasing, basically Zoey runs as fast as she can and Penny hangs out in the middle and nips at Zoey as she runs by... A movie will be posted eventually...

Penny was at least trying in this picture... They're just too cute!!!
The girls LOVE to stick their heads out the window... Penny is pretty happy, even though Zoey often crowds her out and she always has to fight for a spot at the window... look at her windblown face hahaha!

For my wedding shower, my Auntie Kim got the girls their own Rider tutus! They don't ever get dressed up but were pretty good and were still long enough for me to take a picture...
Ok, I WAS holding up a treat... (see Zoey's eyes haha)
All in all, it was a very busy and great summer... We're building our fence this weekend so hopefully soon the girls can get a doggie door and run free!
Stay tuned...
