Rooster enjoys our walks and hikes...

 but what he likes best...

is his DAD....

Shadow says howdy

Happy 6th Birthday Rooster

Beach time

The Gang

Selfies on the way to the lake

Have you missed me????

Rooster is adjusting to his new way of exercising...

playing ball in the water suits him just fine...

he is also going on walks with me...

he is a Daddy's boy 99.9% of the time...

but lately he has been a Momma's boy too...

can you tell Rooster and his Daddy are super close?

one good thing about all this rain...

Rooster has plenty of places to swim...

You talkin' to me???

he can play ball in the water....

one good thing about all this rain...

 Rooster enjoyed his walk at the River...

 he even left a few paw prints...

 Hey Mom...are ya coming????

he loves walking with Daddy....

 we went to the park today.. .

no ball...

just to get exercise...

Daddy is worried I'm having hip problems...

so he isn't letting me play to much ball...

since all I know how to do is play hard...

not easy...

 I went for a swim...

which is good exercise...

without being hard on my joints and bones...

Mom got baby chicks...

they are trying to teach me not to eat them...

I really want to eat them...

just don't tell Mom and Dad...

they are noisy...busy...girls...

sure is hard not to grab them up for a snack...

waiting...waiting...waiting....

Good news...

it was a false alarm for Ginger...

no puppies...

we are thinking it was a false pregnancy....

Rooster is a photo bomber....

Ginger is a soon to be Mommy....

Vet says a couple of weeks...

Hatari helping me work on my settings for indoors...

she is such a sweet little model...

Soccer Season is in full swing...

Sisters

Fancy Footwork...

 for a couple of weeks now...

Rooster has been acting funny...

when it comes to ball playing...

he plays then stops...

then wants to play again...

 at first Hubby thought maybe he hurt himself....

pulled a muscle or something...

so he had him rest a few days....

 then he thought maybe he had hurt his mouth...

no sign of scratches or cuts...

so next he thought maybe he hurt a tooth...

so we took him to the Vet today....

legs all fine...

heart...lungs fine...

teeth all fine....good shape...

then he checked his ears...

Ear infection in both ears...

he hasn't shook his head or ears..

no rubbing on the ground...

but now looking back...

noises have been bothering him more...

every night he would come lay his head...

in Hubbies lab...

Hubby rubbed his head...rubbed his ears...

he never acted like they hurt...

After the vet cleaned out his ears...

put in medicine...gave him a dose of 

antibiotics...he was already feeling much better...

so as a reward...

we went to the park...

Do you think he was HAPPY???
