Hot Dog, It's Hot!

We have been panting up a storm over here in this heat.

Even when I let the pups out to go outside to the bathroom, they go do their thing and are back at the door wanting in within no time, it is so hot. But with the heat, also comes as summer fun. And for the doggies that is running around the yard chasing golf balls. They absolutely love, love, love this.
Of course it helps when you have the future Tiger Woods [minus all the women ;) ] hitting balls to you. Only thing is I doubt that the real Tiger melts down whenever the dogs don't give back the golf balls. But in this heat, it isn't very soon before even Brutus, the fearless, never resting dog has to sit down and cool off.
At that point, you know it is really time to cool off! Time for Oscar's favorite thing! Swimming!!
Oscar adores swimming. He will stay in the water all day if you let him. Just have a few balls that you can throw in the water to let him chase and he is happy as a clam. This year was the babies first time in the water. I was a little nervous at first if they would like it, but it turns out that they LOVE it as well!
JR didn't want Oscar too far from him and for a while Brutus was just content to watch from the shore.
But he finally decided to give it a go and jumped in and decided that he could get used to this swimming thing.
There you have it, how these Dapper Dachshunds stay cool all summer long!

I Heart the Summer

I love the summer not because the sun is shining and it is the time of the year for beachin it up and spending time out on the water. I am loving it because I have so many excuses to stay inside. The heat is number one and number two is that many of my favorite shows are back! And two of my movie favorites are also coming out soon. Yes, I do realize that I have no life!

Season Three of True Blood started a couple of weeks ago. I have waited and waited for this to come back!! Love it! Joseph always complains when I am watching it. He calls it that "vampire mess." But who doesn't love Sookie and Tara and Lafayette? And not to mention the hotness that is Eric. Yum.
If you get HBO, I recommend you watch it. It is a little graphic and definately rated r (sorry kiddos) but it is WAAAAAY better than Twilight. Hands down.


Ahhh, Mad Men. This show is awesome. It just makes me so mad that it takes FOREVER between seasons. It seems like ages ago that the last season ended. This comes on AMC, so check it out. I think the new season starts in July. Yay!!

Nothing like a much of ad men running around in the 1960s. Joseph loves this show, so I get no complaints from him when I watch it.

Thirdly, I have become hooked on this season of the Bachelorette. I know, I know. But I can't help myself.

Ali is so cute and she has had the craziest men this season. From The Weatherman to Crazy Kasey. Not to mention that guy Craig that looks like Lord Farquaad from Shrek. 

And of course, what summer would be complete without blockbuster movies? Have you heard that Twilight is coming out? Because I haven't. It's not like some crazy mania going on around that movie! Ha ha!

Are you team Edward or team Jacob?

And last but not least, the tried and true, Harry Potter.
I really heart these movies (the books even more). So those are my guilty pleasures for the summer. What are yours? Any bad tv that you love to hate? Movies that you can't wait to come out? I would love to hear that I am not alone in loserville.
