Keli's Korner ~ The Westie and The Wauzer

Check out our Pool Party Slideshow A couple of weeks ago it was sooooo hot! We were hot dogs ! We couldn't stand it anymore, so we decided to cool off with a dip in the little pool. But it took soooo long to blow up the pool, and then the water was too cold so we had to wait until the next day. But then, the water was too hot again from being in the sun all day. So we had to add some more cold water. Once we got in, it was great! Some of our water "friends" were on hand to watch: We had the Lifeguard Loofa dog, the Bikini Girl loofa dog, the Mermaid Kitten, the Bikini Girl Penguin, the Hawaiian puppy, the frog, the alligator and the fish. The water was kind of deep and touched our bellies, so we were really wet afterwards. When we got out of the pool we ran around and rolled on the towel to dry off. Here's a video of our pool party : The next morning, it was really early and we were out on the deck by ourselves, just getting a little air while Donna was making c

We're having a heat wave here this June . . . . . . and the Westies are just too hot! We tried to fill up the pool with water to cool off our feet but there's a nice hole in it So, we decided to try the old inflatable pool, and of course, Penny and Keli wanted to help It took 3.5 hours to pump it up and about 15 minutes to fill it with a little water from the hose Of course, now the water is too cold and we have to wait for it to warm up. Wonder how long that will take in this heat? ..... to be continued See all the pool party photos in this slideshow

. . . and two baths! It's almost summer and finally warm enough for the Westies to get their spring haircuts and baths and lay out in the sun to dry. Keli got a nice close shave, not quite a summer cut, but nice and short around the neck and back, and we scissor-trimmed her skirt. We still have a little touching up to do since the bath. Here they are, a day or so after their haircuts and baths: Penny had her first haircut with the clippers. We didn't take too much off, just some of the "scruffies" around her neck and back, and scissor trimmed her tail. She's still a little raggedy in places, since she doesn't sit as nicely as Keli does during a grooming session. Penny is learning to sit nicely, but we need more time and practice (and lamb jerky treats). We really just wanted her to get used to the feel and sound of the clipper. She was pretty good and we kept the session short. She still has that puppy look, just a little neater now. After the "rou
