It was so nice to have an extra day this weekend but the weekend still didn’t seem long enough! Lucky for us in NKY, it was beautiful sunny weather with summertime temperatures. Chris and I left our little zoo behind to visit the Cincinnati Zoo with some friends.
We told our furballs about all the animals we saw, including the new baby giraffe Nasha.
It was fun to appreciate all the amazing creatures that share our world and learn about them. The Sumatran Rhino is one of only 9 left in the world! And I always enjoy petting the goats in the petting zoo area.
I would like to say that our furbabies were fascinated with our tales from the zoo adventure, but they were more interested in lounging.
Chris and I also attended the wedding of my friend and had a great time celebrating with her and her new husband. I am sure Penny and Lola were very excited for their mommy and daddy to tie the knot. By the time we got home it was late but Ares and Chaos woke up to hang with us for a little while and the kitties were ready for their nocturnal playtime. It’s always nice to come home to family members who greet you like you’ve been gone for weeks.
I would say the dogs’ favorite part of the weekend was going over to my parent’s house for a day of summer fun. They got their very own baby pool to play in on the deck. They were dragging on their morning walk since they are not used to the heat yet and flopped down in each shady area we passed. So we thought a little pool of their own would be a nice escape from the hot weather.
Ares hopped himself right on in. He was jumping around and splashing water everywhere, just having a good time. But Chaos was hesitant at first. He would dip his paw in and then pull it out quickly and back up, unsure about the cold water. Then Ares would splash him and he would run around the outside of the pool and try to play without getting in. Finally I stepped in and then the big scaredy dog jumped in.
After the boys did a little swimming, okay wading, and cooled off it was time for a treat. I whipped up some homemade pupsicles with plain nonfat yogurt, blueberries, wildberry concentrate and lemonade Crystal Light. We just couldn’t wait for them to freeze all the way but Are and Chaos didn’t seem to mind lapping up the slush off the deck.
We had a good mix of relaxing and hanging out with family and getting out and doing some fun things. What cool stuff did you do with your furbabies over the weekend?
