The weekend has been pleasantly cool with very cool nights and we are enjoying as it is forecast to be a week in the 90&#8217;s starting Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile.  The tower that I bought for Auggie when I knew I was getting Emmett \u2026 it was a bit of a mistake what with the lower height and the steps.  It has taken a beating.  AND as Auggie has been so stellar re THE PUPPY! and as THE PUPPY has pretty much taken all of Auggie&#8217;s toys \u2026 AND as there was a sale \u2026 a replacement tower of the same brand as the original, bought for Bob about 8 years ago.  I have high hopes for a longer duration with this new tower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4163.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4163.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Much taller and no steps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4161.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4161.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A very fun hanging ball to bat around.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4159.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4159.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Training is in progress to make the tower an &#8220;Emmett-free&#8221; zone.  <\/p>\n<p>It is a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4170.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4170.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Emmett is now 40 pounds and looking much like a small version of a grown up English Shepherd!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug8502.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug8502.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And he LOVES the woods &#8211; YEA!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4187.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4187.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In preparation for the forecast hot and smoky week, the third A\/C unit has been put into place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4164.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Aug18\/Aug4164.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Auggie&#8217;s new perch is high and cool \u2026 VERY cool :)<\/p>\n<p>Here we go August!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August started smoky.
