Having a baseball coach for a dad...

It was such a beautiful day yesterday that we just had to spend some of it outside! Believe it or not, after we got ready to go to the beach, we realized it would be too cold! Yes, a high of 77 degrees can be a bit too cold for us Floridians!! ;) So, instead, we spent the day with four-legged little ones. Maggie and Gamer like going on their walks, but they LOVE being able to run free...so we took them to the baseball field! Gamer's been able to get her paws dirty in the orange clay of a baseball diamond for years, but Maggie is new to this and she loves it :)

And no, we don't play favorites, we just have to adjust our activities to our dogs' special needs ;) (We would never catch Pumpkin if we let her off leash--even in a fenced in area like the field, and Tubbs would prefer a nice long nap) So... Tubbs babysat Pumpkin for us... yet she still tore up some papers (he was sleeping on the job, I'm sure)....and then they both got their own private walks around the neighborhood when we got home :)

"Do you wanna go for a run??" (She's so smart :))


And they're off...
It doesn't take much to tire Mags out ;)

Checking out the view from the dugout

The ride home....
And they're out.

Pumpkin is now realizing that she's next--walking is not something she enjoys yet.. (No pics f/ her walk, I needed both hands on the leash!)

Making new friends? Not today... after this picture, Tubbie turned around and took off in the other direction. That cat (Harley) was way too scary for him.

He prefers not to get his feet wet in the grass, and the sidewalk was a bit wet too... And he calls himself a Lab! ;)

Our lake :)


And then the Seahawks came on TV, and it was all down hill from there... ;) (Not really, we've learned not to let Seattle sports affect our moods this year, right Taylor??) Plus, there was a pretty good baseball game on for us to watch instead. :)
