Or possibly spring pollen allergies :)

We all take allergy meds in our house in the spring with the tree pollen.

Chloe & Gracie take a veterinarian-approved children’s chewable Claritin everyday.

Grape flavor, yum :)

The Captain’s chair and lap is the boat seat of choice. . .

The Captain needs a bigger lap :)

We’ve had a very wet week but hopefully those April showers washed most of the pollen away.

We’re looking forward to seeing the sun again Saturday before more showers return Sunday.

Chloe & Gracie wish you a happy, sunny and allergy-free weekend!

Thank you for your visit!

    Love your pictures. We just rescued a Westie earlier this year. She has brought us so much joy. I live in Gastonia – I always enjoy your plate settings, potting shed and dogs.

    How lucky you are…the first boat rides of the season are always so exciting. Checking out all the changes the winter brought to the lake and seeing everything as it was. My yellow lab, does exactly the same thing that Chole does…turn upside down in joy on the seat of our pontoon. Alas, Our first ride is a month plus off…our lake is still ice covered! Hope you have a great weekend, and take a ride for me.

    we have two bichon girls and live on a lake with the pontoon. They know exactly when we grab the boat key… can’t fool em, can’t trick em. Love their boat.

    Huge smiles even before I clicked over because I knew The Girls would be in heaven! Looks like a great day Mary-enjoy:@)

    Hmmm. Chloe and Grace are just adorable, and the captain is looking mighty fine, too! Hope you were able to squeeze in another boat ride today.

    Your pictures make me miss, SO much riding on my SIL’s pontoon and my FIL’s pontoon. Some of my best memories. Your little girls are so adorable. Thanks for sharing and I hope you get better weather. We had SUMMER today, 83 degrees!!!!! Tomorrow we go back to the 60’s but I’ll be happy with that too!

    They are just too sweet! Hugs to the girls!

  26. April 19, 2015 at 12:46 am

    Happy Weekend! The girls look as though they have their sea legs. We can hardly get Sadie to ride in a car. I wonder what she would do on a boat? I’m going to read her this post. ;-)
    Your girls are adorable!

  27. April 19, 2015 at 8:58 am

    Oh those poor sweet babies, I didn’t know dogs could have problems with spring pollen! We are washing away in the rain around here, but it’s worse at the beach so that makes thoughts of boating seem very far away! Nothing rejuvenates the soul faster than a sunny day on the water~ So adorable that they both want to sit on Dad’s lap!

    What a ride! Chloe and Grace are just precious and seem to love the ride! What a delightful post!!

    Hi Mary, April showers bring May flowers so I think all your rain will turn into beautiful blossoms soon. It looks like the best seat on your boat is in the Captain’s lap! The girls are just so cute–I’m sure he can’t resist them! Linda

    Enjoyed your boating photos! The dogs looked like they were really enjoying the day. We too are getting rain here in Michigan. We have a ways to go before we launch our sailboat on Lake Michigan and began our sailing fun. A day on the water is really invigorating and makes sleep that night nice. Enjoy your post!!!

    They are the cutest!!!…and yes, hope the rain washes away the pollen..we are certainly going to get lots of it….until I babysat my granddog, I had no idea that pollen affected dogs too….he was sneezing away the other day!

  32. April 22, 2015 at 6:15 pm

    Great pictures I can’t wait to see more as the weather warms up! Here in Kentucky we wait to put our boat in until much of the debris from heavy rains has disbursed from the lake.
