Dog Days of Summer

Lanci and Luke will go through a month of depression when we return home from the lake. They have as much fun (and relaxation) at the lake as we do. 

When the boys are down playing in the lake, the dogs sit on the deck with sad puppy dog faces, longing to be down there with them. 

When only one dog is down in the water, the other one sits up on the deck and 'cries.' 

When one of the boys calls to let them out of the house, they get so excited they nearly break through the screen doors. Once the door is opened, all we can see is one brownish-orange and one black STREAK bolting toward the lake. 

They love the water; dunking their heads under water to find big rocks, chasing the boys, swimming behind the paddle boat, and (their favorite thing) walking over to 'say Hello' to Gama (who is quietly reading & sunbathing) then proceding to shake sand and water off ALL OVER HER.
