You can see the picket fence in the background here, but rest assured there is also wire fencing behind it to keep the four-leggeds on the inside.

I love that everyone’s laughing and happy in this photo:

Tracy’s kids are so incredibly used to having dogs around. Charlie decided to spend some quality alone time with Brewer in the grass.

Sister Michelle thoroughly enjoyed playing in our sandbox… She doesn’t need to know it was actually a veggie garden, to be planted today.

It was soooooo wonderful to be able to hang out with friends, stuff ourselves with food and merriment, and know that our “kids” were having fun nearby. No one was home alone in a crate. Every pup was getting their exercise and socialization. All were laying down, exhausted at the end of the evening. We counted 11 dogs in total!

This morning was another momentus occasion! We woke up, opened the door, and joined the dogs in the yard while sipping coffee! I’m still in my pajamas!

Hope you’re having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend where you are!
