Fun is Where You Find it

Hello!  Are you ready for the weekend to begin?  We’re supposed to have sun, so I’m looking forward to spending some time sprucing up the garden.  We haven’t had much of a spring yet and any time spent outside is a pretty wet proposition.  Wally and LuLu care not one bit, though.  In fact, if there’s water to be found, they’ll find it.

I was out throwing the ball for the puppies the other day and when it got a little too slobbery and dirty I stepped over to this old wheelbarrow full of rainwater to wash it off.  Well, LuLu couldn’t believe she’d never noticed this water wonderland before and she climbed right up in there and started splashing around like a baby in a bathtub.  Wally then thought it was great fun to retrieve the ball and drop it in the wheelbarrow each time and watch Mom push up her sleeve to fish it out.  I tell you, I can’t do anything with these guys without getting wet.

LuLu is officially back to unrestricted play as of today.  As far as she’s concerned it’s none too soon.  I’m afraid she hasn’t been very good about following doctor’s orders and she goes on a tear every now and then.  Today she has my blessing.  She’s all healed up and looking fine.  I think a good run in the sand dunes is in order.

Till then she’ll have her fun wherever she can find it.  You know how it is… you buy your kids all these expensive toys and what do they do?  Splash around in an old wheelbarrow full of rainwater.

Have a great day!

LuLu is quite a prize! And Wally just looks on as though he is supervising LuLu. Can't imagine life without a dog and hope that I never have to live without one. You must have had a lot of rain to fill that wheelbarrow.

What fun! I think I'd be tempted just to fill the wheelbarrow with water every so often just so they could play in it. TFS! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Leslie, your title and pictures made me laugh out loud this morning! I so enjoy seeing and hearing about the antics of these two. You made my Saturday.

Leslie, I'm smiling SO big at these two! You made me laugh out loud when you explained how Wally kept putting the ball back in the water. Isn't that just like kids? Thanks for getting another Saturday off to a great start! I love these two as much as you do!

So glad someone else treats their dogs like their kids....I sure do and mine get into so much trouble just like toddlers. Especially my Border Collie. It was nearly impossible to stop her after she was spayed. OMGGGGGGG....she had to have the collar on and that she broke so often she looked ridiculous with duct tape all over when it finally came off!!! Love the pictures of your dogs...please never stop them. evette k.

LOL yep that is how kids work. hee hee She looks happy as a clam too. Glad Lulu is all healed up and doing great. Enjoy your sunshine today!

They are more fun than a barrel of monkeys! Even a wheel barrel of monkeys. It's great to see little LuLu bouncing around and Wally must be delighted to have his little sister back. So pleased all is back to normal. Normal is highly under-appreciated, isn't it.

How ADORABLE!!! I hope next Saturday will bring photos from the sand dunes.

These pictures are just adorable. you can tell LuLu is feeling spunky again just by looking at her sweet face. I laughed aa I pictured Wally dropping the ball in the water. My daughter's cat (who fetches a rubber ball) will drop it in her water bowl when it gets too slobbery & wait for someone to fish it out & dry it off! Kids!!

OMGoodness how cute and funny to think of her playing in the wheelbarrow! Love the pictures.

That's just like a pup to find pleasure in the simple things! We can learn a lot from them.

Priceless Leslie!! Put a smile on my face too :)

What a wonderful way to start my Saturday with photos of your pups' antics. They are certainly true water lovers. Lulu looks adorable standing in the water filled wheelbarrow. Thank you for sharing these photos and story about Wally and the tennis ball. Have a great weekend.

How wonderful that LuLu is healed and all is well! Great fun to see her splashing around in the wheelbarrow full of water! I believe Wally is wondering if he will fit in there too! Beautiful photos of the puppies, they make my heart happy!
Hugs to all!
