my cats and I always love the extra opportunity to curl up with a good book!

extra long walks, playing in the park and going to the beach with the doggy, and hanging out in the yard with the cat and bird (who aren't allowed out unsupervised)... we love the summer!

Hiking near a lake so she can go swimming!

Cats are running around like crazy critters right now ... the five of us (me, husband, three cats) took a nap earlier

There's nothing better than taking a dog nap with Zena. She curls right next to me.

We love sleeping in. Viva also loves the beach and evening walks in the tourist district. I'm suprised she doesn't think her name is "kawaii!!!"

We spent the past three days backpacking in Tahoe. Echo LOOOOOOOOVES it, and runs everywhere and through everything, sledding down all snow that he can find. He gets so excited when we pull out his saddle bags (yay for carrying his own food and water). Of course, we got home around 3 this afternoon and he has yet to move from his cushy bed

Then again, I haven't exactly left the couch, either . . . Such a wonderful weekend!

OMG that looks uncannily like a really bad ex-boyfriend.
