Pool Day

Sydnee Ann and Scout love their wading pool and that is exactly what Syd likes to do, wade in it. Scout, on the other hand, has another agenda...water hose, water hose, eat the water hose, water hose, water hose, dig in the water and get the water hose, water hose, water hose. I have to say we think that he is a bit obsessed with water and the water hose. This is coming from a dog that, nearly three years ago, I had to carry him in the lake while Syd swam around.
Stephen and I sat outside and were entertained by the crazy antics of our dogs. Scout was insane about the water hose and Sydnee was just looking at him like, "You crazy boy, you are kicked out all of my water! What in the world are you doing? Can I just sit in the water and you leave me alone!"
Sydnee finally resorted to flailing around in the grass.
Since Dixie's mom and dad were out of town she spent the night with the Workman crew. Dixie missed out on our pool frenzy, by the time she arrived Syd and Scout had already had their baths. Dixie must have been on a mission to get Scout back from him digging holes in her yard by trying to dig to China under our new fence. She didn't get very far since the ground is hard as cement, but never the less, we had a hole that needed to be filled. Dixie is so laid back compared to her offspring. She was always the last to make it to the door every time we called them to come in our out. In the short time we kept her, I thought we lost her. I looked all over the house for her, with Syd and Scout at my heels. We looked under the beds in the extra bedrooms, in the bathrooms and closets, checked outside and scanned the neighborhood. After about ten minutes of searching we found her sound asleep under our bed. She was ignoring our calls completely. She finally came out with mention of a treat. I think she enjoyed spending time with us though, except she didn't like our "no dogs on the furniture rule", which she broke quite often.
