What a Dirty Dog

Last weekend we took Marley to the long-awaited (rain-postponed) open house at Faux Paw Farm.

What a blast! Trish Wamsat—Marley's trainer—created this incredible place. Here's Auntie Trish and some dogs playing in the water. It was really hot but the dogs managed to stay cool, even smooshed-nose Marley.

Faux Paw Farm is two and a half acres of pure doggie bliss. It's an actual farm, complete with dogs (of course), goats, chickens and Levi the pony. There's a big field where the dogs play and run, a pond for splashing and even an agility course.

This was Marley's first chance to really play in water. He absolutely loved wading and playing chase through the pond with his new labrador buddy. And man oh man did they wrestle...

Adam grilled up hot dogs and sausages (they look the same to me but he insists there's a difference) on the fancy outdoor kitchen grill. He was dying to get his hands on it; when Trish asked him to grill he jumped for joy. Look at how happy he is!
He took a break to teach an impromptu Jazzercise class too. The blonde girl was a great student...
Marley must've had a blast because I've never seen him this dirty. We took him home and immediately gave him a bath and a cookie. He took a long, long nap. What a great day!
