Summertime Blues

Does your dog have the summertime blues?
I have made it a point this summer to go outside and pay special attention to our dogs in this very hot, very humid weather. We have plenty of shade, lots of water, and give them special dog treats now and again but I realized the other day that when the temperature spikes over 90 degrees I don't like to go outside!!!!

Our dogs are most content when they are getting a regular input from us! So these next few months of blazing Arkansas summer I am going to make a point to visit them more, get a new Frisbee, or play a new game with these special family members!

Toby, our Labrador retriever, is the Alpha male in our yard...Well actually the whole neighborhood! He is the most loving and loyal dog you could ever ask for. In any situation he has ever been in I have always been amazed at how well he handles himself and guides others (people and dogs) in the right direction!

Patch, a Collie/Lab mix, is the younger of the two . he is a beautiful mix of black and white with eyes that want to please at all times. He has overcome the challenges of puppy hood and grown into a healthy adult willing to protect his family at all costs and be a faithful best friend to Toby.

We love these guys with all our hearts. Take a little extra time this summer to make sure your pets have plenty of water, shade, and family interaction! Dogs will make your memories all the more special to all they encounter!

Take care
The Dog Spot!
