Sydney wanted me to share her new haircut!

The doggies got groomed yesterday - and she went from this:

To this:



She looks so little and innocent and almost puppyish!

Murray was groomed as well - but not shaving for him - his coat is really nice and fine - unlike Sydney's curly mess! He was feeling kind of bashful though - and wouldn't look at me.

An update from the Gastley's!

Hello all. I don't even know if anyone checks this blog anymore....but I figured I would toss up a new post!
We got some new neighbors - look what moved in across the street.

So now we have a sheep farm next to us and lots and lots of cows across the street. Needless to say, both of our dogs would love a job at either farm - and they should really start earning their keep!

Speaking of the dogs - I get comments all of the time about Murray being mean. He is one of the most loving dogs every. He loves hugs and literally will come in just for a hug from me or Russell. Well I caught these two images of the dogs - I guess if I saw that - I would think mean too. Little do people know - Sydney (the redhead) is totally food motivated - so if you have food - you can do whatever you want. Murray (the blackboy) not so food motivated - and I do think would totally protect us or Syndey if he felt he needed to.



The summer storms have started. I went out and got these shots the other night. That cloud over our house was UNREAL!

Thanks for checking in with us. We have a busy summer. We went to the beach last weekend (Bethany Beach in Delware). We are heading to Ohio to hit Cedar Point at the end of June. I am going to a photography convention in Atlantic City in July. And Russell doesn't know it yet - but we are going Busch Gardens in August. Labor Day weekend we are heading to Deep Creek Lake with some friends. Phew! Then it will be fall. In November we are going on a cruise over my birthday - it can't get here soon enough!! We hit some cool spots on that cruise - San Juan, St. Kitts, Aruba, Grenada, Bonaire, and St. Thomas. We have been to St. Thomas and San Juan before - but the other stops are new to us!!
I should have taken a few pics of the new trees in the backyard - but really there isn't much to see - we planted a pink dogwood and a red oak in the backyard - someday they will give the doggies more shade :) I also put a baby pool in the backyard for the dogs to wade in - but it hasn't been much of a hit as of yet...maybe they will catch on!
Thanks for checking in -
