The "King"

Here are some more pics from this summer of mine and Trent's other child, our neglected Lab-Elvis. I feel so sorry for him- when he's not jumping all over me. Elvis does not get to stay inside out of the rain or in the cool air conditioning on those hot summer days-like Prissy....Trent reminds me that Elvis is strong, and his breed is made to endure the weather-unlike our little Yorkie.

We got Elvis when he was just a puppy. And after several chewed through water hoses, a destroyed grill cover, an almost destroyed grill, and many other backyard mishaps; Elvis has calmed down into a fine young Lab.

I wish we could let Elvis run and play all day while we're at work, so he could get some of his energy out of him-but we can't. There's no telling what kind of trouble he would get into or who would pick him up. So- he has to wait till we get home to take him on a walk, or some days his Grammy and Poppy get brave and walk him. When he's lucky though and it's pretty outside, he gets to go for a swim. The pictures above are from one of his swims at Village Creek. Elvis loves to retrieve and would probably do it for hours if we let him.
