LOL Rupert!!! What do people without dogs have to laugh about? :)

Yes, Shane can now chew on anything/everything. Probably because I'm paranoid, I notice that he picks everything outside and wants to chew it up.

I was out front pruning some roses and the neighbor across the street with the Aussie came out. He said Rihanna saw us outside and wouldn't quit barking. She and Shane played like crazy and I there were a few times I was more worried about my heart than his. She's a really strong dog and tends to overwhelm him sometimes. At one point, he seemed to instigate a chase but as he got close, it looked like his hackles were up and I heard a couple growls. Weird.

BIG NEWS OF THE DAY - DH passed the engineer's test!!!!! We're both super happy but he still has to pass the practical test. Still, I'm all for celebrating and this is an occasion worth celebrating.

Excellent news, Cathy!  A round of applause coming from up here for your husband.  He must be so excited.  Did his friend pass, too?  

I would've had some heart palpitations watching Shane and his friend playing, too.  I get very nervous when Ruby plays with her two playmates -- a huge Lab and a Boxer.  The sounds they make can be scary, and the wrestling and chasing is an injury waiting to happen.  I'm sure I'd feel even more nervous in your shoes with Shane's heart issue.

Dogs are a great source of humor.  I just watched the video of Corey again, and the image of Rupert doing a handstand in the rain has me chuckling, too!

Yay congrats to Cathy:s dh! What a load off!

That video of Corey is funny! It was cool to watch for the fish too. I have never seen a salmon run before. Thanks for sharing that.
