What 7 week old Pups do when hot.

I just had to show this photo of 2 of our Pups. Look at that team work to sleep in that water and keep their heads up.

Great shot, it almost makes me feel cooler.

When it's hot and I'm out walking the smaller of our long-hair Shi-Tzu dogs sometimes she bolts for the pond, walks in and stands chest deep just cooling off until I coax her back out. My wife doesn't appreciate it when I bring her back in the house smelling like the pond. (go figure)

Yes they are something... Story about Mom. One day went out to feed the horses and here comes this dog (not anything new, we have a dog shelter about 1 mile away), this is dog #2 that we have kept that has come here from the shelter. Anyhow, we knew right away that she was going to have pups so we didn't have it in our hearts to send her back up the street, the poor thing is only a pup her self, maybe 8 months. So we made a home for her here and she had her pups 7 weeks ago all 10 of them. One did pass away and really think Mom laid on it, but we can't be sure. We are lucky that we were able to find homes for 4 of them so far, so we have 5 left, all friends of the Wife's so we know they went to good homes. Everyone of the pups are all black and mom is "Brindle" (did I spell that right?). As far as we can tell Mom is a Mix of Lab and something (because of the Brindle color). She knows we did her good here because she is very lovable and a VERY good watch dog, I really do think she is all bark, but that is fine with us. I'll take a Pic of mom and post it here, maybe someone could give us some thought on how this Dog ended up with the brindle color.

EDIT... Here is a Pic of Mom.

We got the best dog I ever had under similar circumstances.

That picture is a classic - I'm probably predjudiced since I love dogs so much, but I think that could win a photo contest.

Thanks for sharing that one.

That's a gem. We've had various dogs that would lay in the water, but I haven't seem any sleeping soundly like those. Thanks for posting it.
