Weigh-In

Dad and the Vet Tech are busy weighing Roy while Andy supervises.  We take the boys periodically to the Vet to keep a check on their weight.  Extra weight is bad on the joints and legs, so we try to keep the boy's weight under control.    One young man is going to have to have a cut in rations.

Azaleas in full bloom

We have some late blooming azaleas which have not yet bloomed, but the rest are in their full glory.  Many 20 year old plants were killed in last summer's severe drought, but many managed to survive.  This pink ruffle is in full splendor!  Andy and Roy like to run under the overhanging branches and play chase with each other.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today was Dad's Birthday.  I made him a delicious dinner as my present.  The boys gave him a store bought gift  since they are not very good in the kitchen, except for mopping up the floor as I spill things.  As you can see they wrapped the present very luxuriously!

Once a month:  the dreaded bath!

Here is Roy getting his bath.  Andy is probably hiding somewhere hoping to escape the torture!  But I'll find him!  They are so beautiful and fluffy when they are done!

In my continuing series on grooming:  Once a week -

Andy is getting his toenails cut with a "Dremel"(a small battery powered drill)." I started out in the beginning slow and easy, letting them "hear" the whirring sound of the dremel, then doing one toenail at a time, letting them relax after each one and giving a treat when all went well.  Now, as you can see, Andy and Roy just lie back and let me trim their nails....No Problem!
