Dog Days of Summer

Hey there, I wanted to take some time today to share something personal and totally non-Etsy related. My husband and I had a blast last weekend taking our dog Leelu to the local dog park and completely wearing her out. (Bonus points to anyone who knows where I got her name.)
Since we live in a little one bedroom apartment we normally have to take her for leashed walks at least 3 times a day for her to get her energy out. So, it was really nice to see her get to run full out around the park and jump and play with the other dogs. She is our rescued shelter baby and I have to say that I highly recommend adoption from shelters and rescue organizations. If you love animals at all rescue the ones that truly need you; there will always be someone to buy the pet store puppies! So, that's me up on my soapbox, and now I'm down again.

Here are some pics my husband and I took of her with my new Nikon so you can see how cute she is and how great the camera works all at once!

We ran and we ran....

And then we ran some more...

And then we were thirsty...

And then we were finally tired!
