Dog Books, Dog Movies

Posted by Joy Butler Jun 20, 2008

Those lazy, hazy days of summer are well under way here in the South. Although for me they're more busy and hot than lazy and hazy. My grandson is visiting for several weeks and we're trying to find time to do fun things together. He's an animal lover just like me so fun for us usually involves animals. He loves helping me at the shelter. Although he pitches in with some of the dirty work, his specialty seems to be comforting the lonely animals like the Dachshund who is newly relinquished and missing his former home. The little red Doxie with sad eyes who had been whining incessantly, quickly became content lying on his back getting belly rubs in my grandson's lap. A little extra attention always helps dogs adjust.

On our days off, we relax the pace a bit and try to find time to go to the pool, read, play games, or watch movies. It's good to go back and watch some of the older movies that we haven't seen in awhile. They always seem new again. How long has it been since you saw the Shiloh movies? A cold fruit smoothie and a plate of cookies and you've got good summer entertainment with the kids!
