Dogs Enjoy Seeing Us Again

Things have finally slowed down a little for us. We have some time during the evening (when I get off of work) to spend some time with each other, but also with the dogs. They have been really good about seeing us so sporadically during the last 9 months. But seeing us again means the stupid stuff they do get posted for everyone to see...:)
We took the dogs for a long walk last night (in between rain showers). Lucy was busy looking at some bunnies in a yard and didn't see the straw laid in the grass ahead of her; we didn't think anything of it either. But as soon as she stepped on it she sank in mud about 8" deep, up to her belly! Not sure why it was so muddy, but it was hilarious to see her reaction. She trudged right through it though. Since they were already bound for a bath we took them to the park across the street and let them run around in a creek for a while. Linus found something to roll in, and (as seen in the video) almost rolled himself right into the water. His beard got a little wet, but we were really hoping for a big splash! He then shorted a jump across the water and got a little more wet.

Tonight Lucy was staring out the back door (as usual) and a June Bug started buzzing the screen. She almost bit through the screen trying to get it, but eventually gave up...well we made her stop when she started pawing & jumping on the screen.

2 nights ago we made some Sushi/California Rolls, which we haven't made in a REALLY long time with being so busy, not to mention the meager pickings at the grocery store. Try finding seaweed wraps in a grocery store in a town this size! It turned out as good as we remembered it!
We haven't gotten out as much as we were hoping since the weather has been so rainy. Linus has been even more neurotic with thunderstorms lately. This morning he wouldn't even eat, go outside, and we had to drag him out from under the bed. Not a great way to start the day. Here are some pictures from the last few days...
