Brinkley

We are dog sitting for my mom and Chuck's dog, Brinkley, until they get back from Michigan. She just turned a year old so its been an adjustment having a puppy in the house again. But she's really sweet and very well behaved. Will is in love.  He is so cute with her, and they are pretty much connected at the hip.  Will calls her to follow him everywhere and she happily trots along behind him.

 

Hanging out together at the Shop.

 Brinkley is a hunting dog.  She quickly discovered poor Benny.  She has pointed him twice (not good news, Ben).  She just sits at the back door and stares, claws and howls at him.  I had moved him to the other side of the deck and kept him locked in his cage so she couldn't see him (he usually has free roam), but the other day it was so hot I let Benny out of his cage to hop around and cool off.  Of course he decided to lay right in front of the door.  Brinkley couldn't contain herself and went wild.  So I moved poor Benny into the garage where it's a little cooler for him and also so Brinkley doesn't jump out of her skin.

 

At one point she was sitting at the back door, staring at Benny and she was so excited she was shaking.  Will thought she was cold so he got a blanket and snuggled up with her.   

 

Of course they do their morning business together.

Outfielders

Daddy taught Will and a teammate how to stand in the "outfield" while waiting for the batter to hit.  His last game was played inside because of the heat. Cute!

Michigan Trip 2012 - Fun With Cousins!

3rd Leg of Michigan Vaca

Whooo's excited that Nana and Grandpa are here!!

We went to the park in Ludington yesterday morning after dropping Missy at the vet.  We decided to walk down to get a closer look at the Badger (aka: "Pirate Ship") It just so happened that it was just about to take off!  We got to see them toss the gigantic ropes off, hear the ship blow it's horn.  We also waved to all the people leaving on the ship.  It was so much fun. 


Here are Fisher, Will, Nellie and Dane.  They had so much fun together.  The Dunscombes left on Sunday morning. 

Boys running on the beach. 

  

This morning this larger doe came up to eat.  I've seen her before many times because she has a scar on her shoulder.  Not Much later, her baby came to join her!  Still lots of spots.  I couldn't believe she let us get so close out on the deck.

We went to Rick and Lauras last night to watch fireworks. Had a great time: the boys got to swim -Dane did so well by himself w just floaties on. Ill try to post a video. Then Will got to spend the night w his cousins!  The best part is that their back yard buts up to the field where they set off the fireworks.  So we literally had front row seats for the show!
