A boy and his dog...

So a few months ago when Arnett surprised us with a new dog I was a little nervous about how she would fare around our house. Zeke tends to be a little rough. The first month or so I thought I was going to pull my hair out because she was just as rough and liked to use Zeke's legs as a chew toy!! Every time he'd go outside he'd come back to the house screaming because she was biting him. Then he went through a phase where he didn't even want to go outside without Arnett or I!! Frustrating me for sure, especially with a newborn around! However, since then, Zeke and Lucy have become two peas in a pod!! While they still have their "issues", they truly love each other and I don't know what we'd do without her around!!

On this particular day we had just finished lunch and Zeke went outside to play. It had also just finished raining. Arnett asked me, "Can you see Zeke?" I replied, "No, but I bet you $20 I know where he is!" Sure enough, I bet right!! He and Lucy were playing in the mud puddles the rain had left behind!! 

Can you read his shirt?? It says "Got dirt?" How appropriate!! 

Playing together in the mud! 

Splashing and kicking! 

What could be better than the mud? A stick to play in it with!!

Why run, when you can sit?? 

Not too dirty!! 

Lucy paying Zeke back for all the times he sits or lays on her...see pictures below! 



"Come on Lucy, let's wrestle!"

"I gotcha!!" 

Lucy breaking free!! 

And the wrestling continues...

Lucy taking a break! 

Both of them taking a break! 

Dirty face!! 

Tired Lucy and Dirty Zeke! 

Our pretty Lucy!! 

That's one cute but dirty face!! 
Until next time...

I'd bet a dollar that Zeke grew up where it didn't rain a whole lot ;-)!
