Sitting on the dock of the lake is
the next best thing to a boat ride.
The dock gives us some cover and shelter if the sun is too hot
or there is a threat of storms so we can still get our water fix.
Some of us like to
look at the water…
Some of us like to
play in the water…
And some of us like
to drink the water.
It looks pretty peaceful & relaxing until
you realize this is our soundtrack:
Chloe & Gracie wish you a
peaceful & relaxing Sunday :)
Love your dogs. Be careful with ice water for dogs. I read that it can cause stomach cramps and can be deadly. I don’t know if this is true but I would double check out the claim.
Hi Carol, Thanks for your comment. We have always given our dogs small ice chips, there’s no danger except for cracking their teeth (less likely with small chips). It’s an urban legend that’s been circulating a long while: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/icewater.asp
Your pups are so cooperative when it comes to photos. Mine sees a camera and scampers away…..quickly! After a boat ride we head right on up to the porch as the dock rocks up and down making it a not very pleasant place to sit.
I love the photo of your baby doll laying stretched out on the big cushion. Looks like my guy, just a lot smaller. So precious.
It’s always fun to see new adventure Gracie and Chloe are on. I’ve been keeping up on FB and check in here on the weekend. You’ve been busy redecorating! I shouldn’t be surprised.

I love this page! I have a Bichon names Daisy and I enjoy everything reading your blog and the photos and recipes are amazing! Happy Sunday
Great start to my day! We have doggie play dates, Katie is the only one of ten that barks, ok non stop yaps if you don’t throw the ball… I feel for your ears!
Love your bichons! We had one (Daisy) for 15 years and when I see your pictures I really miss her. Her antics were second only to the movie dog Marley! We now have a cavachon which is a bichons and a cavalier. She has a lot of bichons in her!!! We have the same soundtrack as you! Have a wonderful Sunday.
Continued blessings,
Diane
I read on snopes that the ice thing isn’t true about causing dogs stomach cramps. I’m sure glad cuz our dogs get it everyday after our walk. Your dogs are darling and they sure love the lake life just like ours do.
So cute!!
I think those are the cutest dogs I’ve ever seen!
Oh, I wish you could have seen Sadie when I started the video. She got so excited to see her friend. ‘-)
How I would like to be stretched out on that mat with that sweet little girl or dangling my feet in that cool, clear water. What a life! Happy Sunday to all of you ~ Sarah and Sadie
Love this post. Makes me smile.
Looks like a perfect way to spend a summer day Mary! Enjoy:@)
Love this post …your pups are adorable! My daughter always gave ice chips to her dog…she had small chips too..
Chloe and Gracie are the cutest pups, Mary! Their adorable faces always make me smile. Happy Sunday on the lake.
Thank you for your beautiful pictures. They are so peaceful to look at, and your dog’s are
precious. Love your blog. Thanks Kristi
Those furry faces have made my day Mary, and I love their vocal enthusiasm!

I love Chloe and Gracie!! My Bichon, Keeper, says to tell them HEY!! I also love your header, so calm and peaceful. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your blog is one of the most beautiful blogs I read. Happy Sunday and enjoy the lake!
Great screen cleaner…cute wag!! We had breakfast on our pier this morning….enJOY the day!!
As always Chloe and Gracie puts smiles on my face. They are so precious! Happy Sunday!
A rainy weekend here too. I don’t mind, but I feel sorry for the working people who only get to enjoy the beach on the weekends. No dogs allowed, so we can sit at the pavilion and enjoy the bay in peace and quiet. That’s until my 5 gkids arrive, no more peace! Enjoy your beautiful spot!
Your dogs are great – I just love them. they look like they are enjoying themselves on the dock.
Have a great Sunday also.
Mary
They are beautiful! My bichon Sir Bentley is infatuated with the Koi in our pond they actually come up to greet him and he puts his face in to play with them! It is too funny actually last week he fell in!
So cute….wish I was sitting on the dock of the lake right now!
PS…I like the new page format!
My Bichon, Bear, heard the sound track and came running to see who was here! Lol!
Cute pictures! I we have pictures of Bear, than our children!Ha! Ha!
These little girls are so darling. Isn’t it funny how they will fixate on one little thing forever? I bet it never changes as many times as they see it. They sure are cute. I don’t comment very often but always enjoy your blog..Happy Sunday..Judy.
I like the new look for the blog! When did you do it? Being on, near or in the water is a love of mine! Actually did have a beautiful day. Hope you did too.
Hi Mary! Of course, you know I absolutely adore your post! One can never have enough of your fabulous Chloe and Gracie! So beautiful!
Too cute!
So cute! My Pomeranian, who turned one year old yesterday heard your dog barking on the video. She hasn’t stopped barking yet. She has looked out two sliding doors and the bay window. She knows there is a dog out there somewhere…but where? It’s a hoot…thanks for sharing with both of us! The view is beautiful.

Tooo Cute !! I wonder if the girls know they are superstars ?!!?! :)

Mary, The video is hilarious! I have been showing it to everyone! We actually had to teach Nellie to bark on command as the lab hunting dogs have been bred to be quiet! She won’t even bark at the deer munching my trees and plants and flowers. Chipmunks, for some reason known only to the dog brain, are the only thing that she will automatically bark for. Otherwise, we use the command word “squirrel” to get her going. I thought of that one day as I watched one devour the contents of my bird feeder. By the way, I love the new links above the title of your post that takes me directly to a line up of related posts! I’m always amazed at how much you do!! Have a great week! Linda
Looks like a fun day. Sorry, I am behind visiting. Busy week. Chloe and Gracie are precious and looks like they had a great day!
What sweetness!!!! Chloe and Gracie are adorable.
What a beautiful view!
Chloe and Gracie are very smart gals…they know exactly where to be to enjoy the day!…I would hang out there too!!
Very nice pictures. I love all of them. It seems quite beautiful sitting on the dock of the lake. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
