Sonny said today is HOT. Dayum HOT.He wanted to go and play in the lake.
Can't say as though I blame him, really.
However, we don't *quite* trust the bottom not to suck him in and get his Royal Red Highness stuck.
Instead, I took "his kids" to the water to splash and play for
almost three hours. Sonny, of course,
could hear us from the water, as the acoustics are fantastic here.
Instead, I'll take him out to graze and mow the lawn (again) once the sun drops some.
He's usually pretty happy with that,
until of course,
Jo the Wonder Nanny Dog gets in on the action.
(Which she always does.)
Yes, the other day ago, Johnny Reb gave Sonny an apple.
Being a delicate creature,
Sonny prefers his apples in tiny bites.
He dropped a bit by accident-
and of course,
Jo hoovered it up.
An apple.
Crazy dog.
So, Sonny is content to have a hose bath and mow lawn.
He still seems to think that he'd have fun IN the lake, but...
I'm just not willing to get him stuck in the water.
Yeah- can you hear THAT 911 call?
Pretty quiet week for the Big Red One, but he sure seems happy enough.
Except for the bugs. He has a thing about bugs.

I would love to be able to take Pokey in the water, I think it would take some convincing, but I think he'd do it if I walked him in first.
How is Matt?
I'd love to go in the water with Daisy!...not sure if that'll happen... :P
Does Sonny have a fly mask? The flies here are so persistent, too... the gnats get the insides of her ears so bad. She loves her fly mask; she knows what it is :P
Ugh. I will second Sonny's opinion about bugs.
Oh playing in the water sounds so much fun! Bugs....not so much!
A hot day in the sun sounds pretty good about now, we have been having persistent rain and 50 degree weather. Even a snow flurry one day. Crazy.
Your lake is real pretty I can see why Sonny would want to go for a swim.
Phoenix wants me to pass a message along to Sonny. He says that to get to go in the water all you have to do is lure the lady on your back close to the water on a trail ride, look back once and jump on in! I don't blame you for being cautious, but I do love going for a swim in the river with my fat spotted pony. I was a little worried about letting my pony in at first, but I learned that he knows best and that as long as I give him his head he can find his way around the mud and rocks.
How fun that would be to take a swim with your pony! I want to do that with Apache someday.
The grass looks so pretty and green there. Ours has mostly stopped growing since we haven't had rain or any moisture since early April. Hopefully we'll get somr rain in July and August when the monsoons come....but then we'll get some flies....so it's trade-off.
Our weather has been drop dead gorgeous this past few weeks....sunny, warm with cool breezes. No bugs either. Our beautiful summers are what we are rewarded with for dealing with our long, cold winters. :)
