pool fridee


it's pool fridee again lahverrrs. we have tonka, looking very introspective. or is it terrified of being in the water? yeah, terrified is probably more correct. if she's involved in looking for a ball or the evil water hose, she'll get in the pool but if she's just floating on the floatee? no so mo.
chuck splashing the tonkster. tonkster trying to eat an entire splash in one bite. we don't feed her for three days so she's ready for this event. gotta keep her hungry. hungry for splashes. mmmm, splashy.

speaking of splashing, this is matilda nearly drowning in a splashy splash. can you see her squinty eyes and her tilted nosey in the air? so she can breathe? air? yeah, chuck is mean and i am taking a picture. why am i brave enough to get right up in the splash zone with my beloved camera? yeah, because i might have been tipsy. see also, pictures of my bewbs.

i think splashy matilda could be a hallmark card:

"keep your head above water"
"just keep swimming"
"chin up!"
"thanks for helping me clean the pool!"
"you're the best splash i've ever had!"
"make a SPLASH on your birthday!"
"happy anniversary! to my splash of a gal!"
i could go on. but i won't because then i won't have any left for when i open my greeting card company based on this picture.

this next one depicts a matilda who is trying to come to her becky for love and support and gets only the business end of a lens. look at those big huge sad eyes. that's some pretty choppy water we got there, eh?

it's bean* rainy here all week the last two days. and so i may not be able to swimee. good news, though! netflix just delivered some moooovies! so there's that six hours. and then, tap, tap, tap. dot, dot, dot. who knows? maybe i'll just wallow in misery. i won't bore you with the details. because nobody wants details. they just want vague sentences that make you say, "what? is she talking about?"


*hee hee heeee

Matilda seems to be enjoying drowning in choppy waters :)

Lana said...

Poor dogs! Adrift in a pool with choppy water and an obviously maniacal mom.

Have a great weekend!

i love tonka's face in the first pic. that dog face of "i don't really like this, all my muscles are flexed and waiting to flee but i will look at you all patheticlike until i am allowed to move, please let me move!" it's so easy to tell exactly what you are thinking

especially if you are a crazy dog mommy like me. i swear i can translate my dog's looks into words.

Valerie said...

I spray my dog with the hose too hehe. But she would freak-the-hell-out if I put her in a pool. She wears a life jacket when we go to the lake.

Your pictures make me want to seek out the nearest body of water and toss the pups in!
The only thing stopping me is the fear of them somehow growing thumbs and slicing my throat with a butcher knife while I sleep.
They like playin' slip-n-slide though. Hmmm...
I just love your pups!

Annie said...

wish i was swimming now! it's summer and the high in MN was in the low 70's....brrrrrrr!!

nik- careful, don't hurt yourself. and thanks!

ccbb- no chance. we have the thumb patent, therefore, they are under our power forEVER! i love them too, they're the best!

annie- they HATE the bath. i think it's because of the smell factor. see also: this video.

andhari- it's SO fun. chuck also put on the ol' goggles and they are even MORE hilarious under water! i should post some swimming videos. matilda is quite the jumper :)

jill- you'll have to pry her from my cold dead hands. oh, and also beat up my brother because he's been trying to steal her for years! you could totally take him.
