Crazy weather. Crazy busy. Crazy dogs.

I know it has been forever since my last post.  I have just been so busy lately that whenever I do have any time, I don't feel like spending it at the computer.  This spring has seemed abnormally crazy with work, not to mention the storms that have blown through our area in the past month.  Our yard and pool are finally clear of debris and the roof will hopefully be replaced soon.  We are are also finally over the hump of the busy season at work.  I am anxious to have more free time, much of it will be spent on the dogs, I'm sure.  I have been feeling guilty lately because they also suffer when we are so busy at work.   Fewer walks and more time in crates means tons of pent up energy!   But, no jobs = no dog food!  For some reason, I can't get that through to them;-)

Lincoln got neutered yesterday and is quite swollen today.  Poor boy.   Even so, the hardest part will be convincing him to be calm and relax for the next few days.  Relaxing isn't really his thing.  His mange is all but gone and he is looking good.  No more bare areas.  He just has some patches of old fur to shed out and he will be perfect.  I have discovered that he has absolutely no leash skills.  He is one strong dog and I can honestly say that I can barely handle him on the leash. He just has no clue.  I am committed to training him, though.  We just need to stick with short walks, otherwise he exhausts me!

Dixie and Jax are both doing well too.  Jax is happy that it's sprinkler season again and has been enjoying playing in the water.  He hauls the hose all over the yard in his mouth.  He also runs through the sprinklers and splashes in the mud, just like a little kid.  He will do it over and over and over.  It's absolutely hilarious!   Dixie, on the other hand, wouldn't even think about getting one drop of water on her and has been known to hold her potty for days if it's rainy.
