Sunny days for business dog

When its sunny out the sun is bright, people get all squinty with their eyes cause its so bright, doggies do to. Us people use sunglasses to help with the squinting, but not dogs, well I guess some pets wear sunglasses for brief periods of time for funny photography. Thats probably all over the web, I bet there's a website called letsputsunglassesonourpetscauseitsfunnylooking.com

If there is I'm not a subscriber to that site. When Cinnamon wears glasses its serious stuff, shes all business when she has those on. Oh? Shes wearing them indoors you say.... well, uh... she was in a meeting, about business when these photos were snapped.

Seriously.

That laying down pic, well, you know how boring some meetings can be.

work sucks

Why does momma and pape have to work?
They should stay home with me and the raccoon baby!

Stairs

Stairs can be hard when you get older, if you were 98 would like to climb two stories of stairs every time you want to go outside and play or go pottie? I should think not.

Cinnamon also doesn't seem to enjoy the stairs as of late. Shes a trooper though, she tackles them with stiff determination. So stiff that sometimes her back legs act up in a manner to which they've been giving out on her because they are, oh so tired.

We understand that stairs are no fun, so we have begun to carry her upstairs when Cinnamon does not feel like climbing them that day. It's really quite nice, she just tucks her back legs under her tummy and looks around wondering when this human elevator will let her down.

Thankfully shes not too heavy, but of course even if she was, we'd still lift her.

The Deck

We've cleared off the deck and layed out a blanket for Cinnamon to sit on when were out there. At first, she had to be coaxed out, but she would just run from one door to the other not staying outside, then about a week later she would lay down if we sat on the chairs out there, now, we have both the sliding glass door and the bedroom door open to keep the house cool, and Cinnamon just goes out on her own now. She used to be pretty hesitant, unsure of the surface, her nails make a clicking sound on the ground so I think that makes her uneasy, but it bothers her less now it seems.
She likes it especially after we grill, and she sticks her head under the grill and licks whatever grilling juice has leaked through. We always tell her not to lick it up, but I don't really mind.

Sunny with a high of 75

I brought home the nice camera from work again this weekend, so Cinnamon had a wonderful day long photo shoot. We went to the park as a family, then went and got a bath, then came home and hung out and slept. Cinnamon was so pretty in the photos that Momma bought her a new toy, a non-stuffed Raccoon! It's her new baby.

Who Needs Toys...

When you can play with empty milk jugs? The Corley's recycle drink containers into fun!!

Sleepy after gardening with Mommy.

Going for walks, sitting in flowers, eating grass.

TeddyBall

Today it was sunny with a high of almost 75. First real day that felt like spring this year, the non rainy kind of spring day at least. We woke up and had cream of wheat for breakfast then took Cinnamon to the Dog Park.
It was a beautiful day, we stayed there for probably 2 hours just sitting in the sun watching all the dogs. Cinnamon found a nice stinky smell that she wanted to roll in, which she managed one roll until Lins stopped her cause she just had a bath yesterday and we didn't want her to be all dirty again.
We left and went to Costco quickly getting what was on the list while Cinnamon waited in the car, then we ran back pushing the cart to the very back of the lot, the only place we could find a parking spot, opened the hatch and I pored Cinnamon a bowl of water and we sat with her until she was done drinking.
We went home and just lounged around for the rest of the day/evening.
I played DS and Lins watched T.V. then I looked over the side where Cinnamon's bed is and she was laying all curled up with the ball in her legs held close to her chest like it was a teddy bear.
We quietly managed a couple pictures of it before she woke up.
