Playing Ball

Brea with baseball

Siri with squeaky toy

Just a Couple of Pictures

I haven't posted much this summer - haven't really done anything new or interesting with the dogs, and putting updates on Instagram seems faster and easier.  Anyway, here are a couple that I took last night:

Run!

No matter how hard she tries, Siri just can't outrun Brea.

Who's Your Favorite Person in the Whole World?

Judging by the look Siri is giving her, it's Mary.  Whenever she comes by the house, Siri is all over her, and I'm yesterday's news.  Brea, however, just isn't sure, even though Mary often brings the Best Treats Ever.  Brea was friendlier towards the plumber who was here yesterday, even though she'd never met him before, and Mary has been to the house several times and knows how to behave around dogs, sharing her home with several of her own.

Better Than a Fire Hydrant

An exciting discovery on our walk last night.

More Wild Times

We got in a few more minutes of running and playing this morning before the rain started.

Brea has her favorite rope toy... Siri has a styrofoam block that she found.

Guarding her treasure.

Going for the collar. Again.

Play Hard

Play hard.

Then take a break.

Siri, especially, seems to love this kind of rough play.  She will try to get Brea to chase her, by play-bowing in front of her, poking her with her nose, or running into her at high speed, until Brea stops what she's doing and goes after her.  It looks pretty alarming, but Siri actually seems to like it when Brea knocks her down and grabs her by the collar.  Sometimes it looks like Siri lets Brea catch her. Often, if Brea loses interest, Siri will start the process all over again.  The only real drawback that I've seen is that it's kind of hard on Siri's collars.
