It’s hot here. Like super duper hot. Today’s temps are in the low nineties with high humidity.
I know. This is typical summer weather for all those who live south of, say, Kentucky. But I’m in Michigan and it could easily be 100 degrees colder six months from now. So this it hot.
Today’s actives included the river. This branch of the Black River is usually a bit more impressive but due to how dry it’s been here lately, it’s pretty low right now. The dogs often swim here but today they could only splash. They didn’t seem to mind.
I took two toys to play with. But these two are like kids in that the best toy is the one that the other one has. Almost to the point where they’d let one toy can float away while competing for the other. The “mom” voice is used at times…
Our time pretty much went like this –
“She has the toy. I want it”

“Neener, neener – I have the toy!!!”


“Just try and take it! I dare you!!”

“Double dog dare you!!”

“Well, since you insisted…”

” I got it! I got it!”

“Harrumph. Be that way. I really didn’t want the old toy anyway”

“Except I kinda do want it”

And so on and so on.
It was all quite humorous.
In the end, Kenzi ended up with both toys. Mission accomplished for the bossy dog!
