Well guys, it’s almost summer and mom has been looking for great ways to keep us cool!  I don’t know how many of you have ever visited Arizona, but let me tell you, it is HOT!  I don’t mind the heat too much, but mom worries that we won’t be able to go out and about as much when it gets very hot.  She did mention something called “boots” to help my feet – I’ll have to let you know when I learn more about that.

My new favorite outdoor activity is playing in my very own kiddie pool!!  Now, I am not much of a water dog – don’t understand why anyone would willingly go into that wet stuff, but I do LOVE the hose!  My sisters and I know when mom is going to turn the hose on, and we get VERY excited!  There’s nothing more fun than waiting to attack the water on its way out – what a BLAST! Mom will fill up our pool, and then fill it with all kinds of balls and toys – it’s really fun trying to get them all out.  I WILL get in the pool if its to get something fun out!  Mom says when it’s 100 degrees outside; I’ll learn to enjoy it even more!

I definitely had a great time running and splashing around with my sisters!  And I’ll tell you, it was all fun and games until mom took the shampoo out. She thought I wouldn’t notice that a bath was coming because I love the hose so much – give me a little credit, mom.  I wasn’t very keen on having a bath outside – who wants to take a bath at all?  I’ll admit, it was quicker than having to get into the bath tub (gulp!), but a bath is a bath.  Mom says, “don’t you want to be nice and clean?”  No, not really!  But the nice thing about outside bath time, is that I am allowed to run around afterwards!  Also, there is nothing more fun than being dried with a towel – I got nuts for that!  And then you can grab the towel, and try to run off with it….

So far, we’ve had a blast with back yard water games!  Mom says she’s going to find us a doggy sprinkler to play with – I like the sound of that!!

Well friends, that’s all for now – it’s my nap time after all.  I will be posting again soon, as it’s my first birthday on Thursday, and mom says she has lots of fun in store for me….I can hardly wait!!!  I hope you all have a fantastic week, and have a lot of fun in the sun!

Love & Licks,
Arya
