Anastasia and Mom are going to the library today to choose some summer reading books. Rufus loves it when Pickles reads to him:)

Pickles had a great time playing with Will in his pool this weekend. Rufus and Will’s dog, Houston, played and napped on the back porch under the ceiling fan:) Another great summer weekend!

The Pickering family had a very nice 4th of July at their community picnic. Pickles and Rufus are still snoozing this morning, but soon they will awake and a new fun day will begin!

Pickles and Rufus had a great time on their visit to Nana and Papa’s house. Now they are back home and Pickles is helping Mom make potato salad for tomorrow’s community 4th of July picnic while Rufus takes a snooze:)

Nana and Papa came to visit over the weekend and took Pickles and Rufus back with them for a summer visit. Anastasia loves spending time with her grandparents and Rufus is happy just to be with his best friend. Have fun you two!

Pickles and Rufus are spending the afternoon at the beach with Mom today. Rufus loves to dig a hole in the sand and take a nap:) zzzzzzzzzzzz

School’s out for summer!! Pickles and Rufus have until September to play, and they are off to a good start. Anastasia’s best friend, Sarah and her dog Cookie, are coming over for a play date and sleepover. Let the good times begin:)

Pickles has one final spelling test today. The teacher is testing them on the words that the most students missed on their tests during the year. Pickles studied hard and Rufus helped by napping quietly by her side. Good luck Anastasia!!

Rufus doesn’t understand that soon the year will be over and for a whole summer, he and his best friend will have lots of time to play fetch, go for walks, have fun at the doggie park and nap in the afternoons. It won’t be long now Rufus!

Anastasia had a good week in school. She did well on her math and spelling tests. Now it’s Friday and she and Rufus are ready for the weekend:) A trip to the beach and a romp in the dog park are on their schedule!
