Babysitting A Labrador.....

We had so much fun babysitting, well, DOGsitting this past weekend!

Meet Roxy:

I know!! Isn't she just the best????

Miss Roxy isn't quite a year old and has WAAAAY too much energy.

But we helped her expend some of it.

And, yes. It was fairly early in the morning, which explains Brenna's p.j.'s!  (About 7:45. I hope my neighbors didn't mind too much...)

First, Brenna shows her the ball.

Second, Brenna chucks the ball as hard as she can into the pool, and Roxy makes a dive for it.

Make that launches herself into outer space.

POW!!

In she goes!

the ball is retrieved, and her mission is accomplished.

Now to the business of shaking off excess water. None of likes excess water retention, right?

Roxy will now do this over,

and over,

and over,

and over.

Until half of the pool has been emptied,

or we are soaking wet,

or until we just say, "game over."

Then she gets very unhappy and just does NOT understand why she can't come into the house.

Happy dog!
