So looks like this is our weekly post! Gavin seems to LOVE the cooler weather. this morning he did not want to get back into his stroller! I had to pick him up and carry him 100 feet to get him in it to leave so I could get home and ready for work. I think I may need to change his sparkly toes, too. The soft paws have allowed his nails to really grow on his bad paw (they were so worn down from his toe touching). I might have to trim them , too.

What a wonderful idea for the soft paws to help! Great idea.
My boys are enjoying the cooler weather too! So very glad Gavin is over his illness too!
 
Gavin is 35lbs...I have carried him since he was a puppy during potty training so he is incredibly good for me. I always had him on his back like a baby cause I figured he wouldn't mess on himself :)

Our weather has gone back up again to 80+, but it does eventually cool down at 2-3 AM. And Gavin wants to go out then. Even after a couple of potty walks in the evening. He will prance on the one spot in the bedroom not covered by a rug until I wake up to the noise of nails on wood.
 
I figured out where all the foxtails are coming from! I have seen Gavin just laying in my yard chilling out several times over the past 2 weeks. Now, my yard is just dirt and weeds, and I do go through to check for foxtails weekly. Maybe 10ft by 20ft. The concrete patio is 4x8, and a wooden deck is 6x12. He normally hangs out on the patio for coolness, the deck to sun himself. Why on earth he wants to lay on dirt is perplexing...especially as he has never really shown that inclination before

I have to pull them out of my bedspread daily, as they apparently just fall off of Gavin! I do plenty of petting of Gavin so any on him usually get taken off pretty quickly. Although this morning I was trimming his belly fur as it can get a little unsanitary and inside one clump I found a foxtail! That kinda blew me away.

Yep, know that drill well... we call it manscaping around here! Beau Beau carries a huge coat and requires trimming his private areas quite frequently to keep him tidy.
It just cracks me up how he just lays there and let me go to it... so trusting! That blows me away!
 
Seriously, Gavin just rolls over and lets me use a small pair of scissors! He isn't even that trusting of my with a dremel around his toenails!
Now, he isn't nearly as accommodating with brushing either. I can get his outer coat but he is really wiggly about letting me brush out his chest fur

That's a big boy to carry lol! It's funny but Riley enjoyed being carried too. It's like they don't realize how big they are and like the view from up there lol.
 
So now that it is cool, Gavin doesn't hit the bathroom floor at night. So he rotates from his dog bed to my bed about every hour or so!
That webcam is really darn useful.
He is getting pretty good at gently popping up on the bed. I got a new topper that is an inch or so shorter and I think that helped.
