You got what on my show dog??

 Today, since it was so beautiful outside, Mike decided he was going to paint all the fence...  because I didn't want to get splashed with paint I tried to stay out of Mike's way....  But, some of us weren't fast enough.  Mike yelled at me....  "I got paint on Oscar."  WHAT??  Well, of course I panic (just because I can and because I'm so good at it :-) and immediately start scrubbing Oscar... I had to pick the paint out of the inside his ear.  Thank god for latex paint!  Oscar needs to enjoy the pool now.  It won't be out much longer.

Rasmus also got paint on him too...  He wasn't too bad, just some paint on his nose...  But Rasmus is always easily traumatized so it was something of a drama.  :-)

Mother!  Get it off!  Get it off!  It's burning me!

It was a busy dog day at the ranch on labor day.  I had gotten fed up with Dora's mop like appearance so decided I would get the clippers out and begin my masterpiece!

Before

Never had one lesson on dog grooming!  Yep...  I think I can clip as good as I can cook!  :-)  Doesn't even look like the same dog!  Now Dora kind of looks like a white 4 legged fruit bat.  I think it's a good look for her.  ha ha.  Mike wondered what chewed on her.

After

The mastiffs all spent the day in the garage with me.  Molly was as well behaved and excited as ever.  Here she is in her normal pose...  It's funny how Molly always looks like she's kind of melting...  How does she do that?  Like she doesn't have any bones...

Oscar got a couple new toys which he was really excited about.  We played a little fetch for awhile which was probably the most action that went on today.

ears a flappin!

I love my new toy!  And Mike's grass

But true to their form, the mastiff energy wanes quickly and there you have it....  dog carcasses in the driveway.

Mike eventually finished painting.  The white fence looks fabulous.  Mike joined us in the garage for the rest of the afternoon.

It was an absolutely beautiful day and really fun labor day weekend.  Looks like we are going to have a whole week just like this.  Wish us luck next weekend.  I'm taking a vacation day on Friday to do some dog scrubbing and pack...  Then off to Des Moines.  We will let ya know how it goes when we get home.  Wish us luck!
