"Dog Days" of Summer

I just had to post this short video of Daisy enjoying one of her favorite summer activities - lounging in the hammock! She actually stayed on it yesterday evening while enjoying the sunset... She cracks me up!

How did you get her up there? Mine wanted nothing to do with my hammock. She is so well behaved up there. And she has gotten so big! She really is such a pretty girl!

I don't know what kind of toy that is in her "lap" but it makes her look like she has an utter.

How DID you get her up there? lol. We have a hammock that Dante likes to cuddle in, but there's no way you're leaving him alone in it! lol.

Okay, now that I am looking for the "udders" - That is HILARIOUS!!!

As for getting her up there, you first have to understand that I've conditioned Daisy from a pup that the hammock is a really great place! (I had hoped that enjoying the instability of it would make her more confident when she started Agility, but that's another story altogether...)

So Daisy is always trying to get in the hammock. If someone is lying in it, she joins them; if no one is in the hammock, she makes some pretty flying attempts at it that end in her bouncing off the hammock and onto the ground - lol If she does this repeatedly, I either hold it to stabilize it for her to get in, or I'll lie down and she will jump up with me. When I get up, I'll offer her to get off first; if she doesn't, then she generally wants to hang out there alone, so I'm just extra careful not to turn it over when I get up.

She's a goofball, for sure!

As soon as I saw this I was like "wow, she is rotten. Hahaha" I love it she looks so comfy up there just chilling out.

Daisy is quite the diva! She looks like someone should be fanning her and bringing her a cold beverage.
