Simple July 4th

Baker and I were excited to spend some time with Lacy on his day off. We enjoyed a simple 4th of July, swimming at the lake and grilling out. With no hesitation, Baker jumped right into the lake. She would've stayed all day if we hadn't run out of snacks. (That's my trick to get her to leave the lake and the pool! I only pack a few snacks, so I know she'll want to leave to get some more food!)
I don't know who enjoyed themselves more, Kota or Baker. He was unsuccessful at catching some fish, but did find several sticks to retrieve and chew on.



Do you see why we ran out of snacks? Baker enjoyed trying to feed the fish before Kota ate the "fish food" a.k.a cheese crackers.


We are so lucky to have such a wonderful dog for Baker. He adores her and is very protective of her. The other day, while I was in the garden, Baker started to climb the fence. Within seconds, Kota was barking and dashing across the yard to get to Baker. He stood behind her until she climbed down. He does something similar to strangers. If a stranger approaches Baker, Kota starts barking and stands in front of her. He won't let them approach Baker unless Lacy and I give him the OK. I just love this dog!
