some new bandannas

Zeke has been showing off some new outfits at work the past two weeks. Above he is wearing his new palmetto state bandanna, and below is the dog biscuit pattern kerchief his momma just made for him.

hiking and the lake

Zeke went hiking on the Palmetto Trail this morning and even though it was really hot, everyone had an awesome time. We found a spot where Zeke and Sadie could get in the lake and they swam around and played to cool off before hiking back to the trailhead. Now its time to cool off on the tile!

surprise guest

About dinner time yesterday our doorbell rang ...

Neighbor: Are you missing a dog?

Zeke's Dad: (Looks down at barking dogs) No both of ours are right here.

Neighbor: Oh, there is a dog over by the mailboxes that looks like yours.

So we go over to the mailboxes and sure enough a petite female black lab is running around. She has on a yellow collar that says "Zoe" and is friendly enough with some treats and comes with us. We take her into the house and she meets Zeke and Sadie and fun times ensue. We called the number on her collar and left a voicemail. So she gets to hang out at the lab compound for awhile. Zoe is VERY quick and obviously young ready to romp with Zeke.

They all had fun chasing each other (and one incidence of chasing the cat) and ended up panting on the floor. Then Zeke's dad tried the # again and got ahold of Zoe's dad. He was totally surprised, did not know she had gotten out! He came by and picked her up on the way home. He lives in our neighborhood so the kids made a new friend last night!

Zeke went to Riverfront park this morning and they have added new random pieces of art along the river.

Mom has been very busy!!

Just a note to let you know that Mom has been very busy. She spent most of last weekend in Asheville. Zeke of course stayed home with his Dad. Now Mom leaves for an over night visit to Atlanta with Wham and to be there when the Brave's retire Greg Maddux's number on Friday night. She is flying so she will be home in time for lunch on Saturday.

Sometimes its tough for Zeke to get going in the morning, but the bucks usually helps with a pick me up.

Happy Independence Day!

Zeke loves the Fourth of July! He got off work early yesterday and is going to enjoy some hotdogs from the grill this evening. For lunch today we all went to McAlisters dressed to show our patriotic spirit. Tonight Zeke is going to try and relax away from noisy fireworks.
