Doggie Beach Day

So yeah, I'm procrastinating again.. it would seem that the only time I actually update my blog is when I have something else I should be doing. heh. oh well, that's me.

So yeah, my roomie's been gone since sometime early this week. She went back to Barbados to visit family, being originally from there and all. So I'm here babysitting her kiddies (2 cats, 1 dog). Since today was a holiday (Corpus Cristi) and we didn't have classes, I had a little more free time (okay a lot of free time) and decided that Vasco was starting to look a bit chunky and could prob do with a good run. So I took him and my roomie's dog Cassie out to the beach for a nice stroll.. Well, I forgot that today being a holiday, the beach would prob be crowded.. and so it was. Lots of people. Now Cassie's not that much of a people person, though she tolerates them. but she cannot stand other dogs. She's def alpha female quality stuff. So she goes nutz at the sight of every dog, slipping her collar once even. But no big trauma, she just chased that dog into the water. So I took the kiddies to a relatively more isolated section of the beach and let them play around in the water and Vasco went a little crazy happy running around. But it was good for him. Good for them both I think. I had another ulterior motive, that being trying to work on getting rid of some stark tan lines on my back, but I doubt an hour in the sun will do much for them...

Anywho, so here's some pics of the furry kiddies we have at our place

Bella

Minchi
(Jap for: "Ground Beef")

Cassie
(don't let her calm exterior fool you, she's a trained killer! :p )

and of course...


Vasco!

run, Vasco, run!

mmm... salt water... tasty

just having some fun

Cassie and Vasco each "enjoyed" a nice bath upon thier return and some good grooming. So now they're both soft, clean, cuddly fluff balls. Let's see how long that lasts *grins*
