It's been pretty hot here - the temps aren't that bad here at the coast, but it's been unusually muggy.
Rita's not a fan of overly hot weather so we got her a little pool this summer. As I've mentioned here before, she hates to swim, but loves to dunk!

We Went on Vacay... & Forgot to Bring a Present for the Dog. #baddogparents
Yes. We're terrible. We went away to visit friends and family recently... and we didn't bring anything home for Rita.
As if it wasn't bad enough that we came home smelling like CATS...

A Pup & A Plant, Part Deux
Last month I posted about how I exercise my brain while Rita and I are out on our walks with my Instagram "A Pup and A Plant Series." On our walks, I try to remember plant names, then I take a photo of Rita next to the plant, and then attempt a little word-play for the caption.
I originally thought I could keep this going for maybe a week to 10 days, but I've managed to think up quite a few of them, so figured I'd share another batch here.

Doggie Inspiration For My New Novel
As I mentioned recently, I'm finishing up a new novel and getting ready to put it out in the world. (Eeek) It's a fairy tale (sort of a fractured fairy tale - remember those?), and there are a lot of dogs (since a doggy-supply boutique and a rescue group figure prominently in the story), but the main character's dog is a Cardigan corgi, that looks a lot like my nephew, Reggie.

Exercise For My Brain While We Exercise On Our Walks
I've been doing this thing over on Instagram. If we're connected there, you will possibly have already seen it. I call it "A Pup and A Plant Series." On our walks, I try to remember plant names, then I take a photo of Rita next to the plant, and try to do a little word-play caption.
I've done quite a few, so here are a chunk of them.
Rita and red roses.
