It’s Java Time – Can’t Touch This
Java and I went on a walk Saturday morning and found a family and their dog enjoying that last breath of summer by splashing around in the river.

I do need to take more photos of Luke lest you think I’ve forgotten him or something. There certainly hasn’t been much trail riding but the weather is starting to get better so perhaps September will be the month for that. The bugs are awful bad right now though. I’ve been trying out fly leg…
For those of you worried about Latte’s juvenile record, I believe she gets a couple more chances before there is a formal complaint about her outspokenness. We’ve had quite a few heart-to-heart talks over the weekend. Poor Latte is exhausted from trying so hard to be good while Java is exhausted from trying to be…
I’m hoping that the pain and hurt is on a bell curve and I’m hitting the peak. If so, I will soon start my journey down the other side of the bell and this will all become a more manageable ache. ~ Mary Olson Java and I ran some errands this morning, which took longer…
I went cross country skiing Saturday afternoon. It was wonderful seeing the sun and the bluest of blue skies. No wind was a plus too. We explored a few new trails, getting into the “harder” but not “hardest” trails yet. Only one nasty spill. I had my usual problem with going down a hill and having…
It’s been quite a day, well, weekend actually. No fun stuff with friends but lots of other doings. Yesterday, I drove to a townhouse I thought might work for me in the future. It was the third one I’ve driven past to check out the location, traffic, and vibes. Yesterday I took Java with me…
Okay. You explain this photo. I think the hay I bought is haunted. It could be the whole eery moon thing. H helped me load and unload 80 more bales so I now have 100. Sigh of relief. My arms, they are aching today, and I ended up with a weird bruise circling my wrist….

Have ya tried one of those “As seen on TV pet clippers?” Just sayin’. Great pics once again.
Have a great evening!
I did a review on some pet nail trimmer product a while back. The hair still gets caught in it. Maybe use Vaseline to slick back the hair out of the way while you clip? I haven’t tried it, but it should work. Feed bag fun can get quite silly whether it be with dogs or horses.
Lovin’ the attitude!
Java is so silly! I love the picture of her flying through the air with the feed bag! When I trim my dogs nails, I put my fingers around the nail and slide my fingers up towards the hair, which pushes the hair back. It seems to work. I’ll have to pay closer attention next time I trim them.
I think Java was sent here to keep your heart and funny parts alive. she is SO FUNNY! Love that old vid. Used to make the ladies in my aqua class work out to that one. 🙂
The extra foot hair does complicate things. We’ve always had short / medium haired dogs, so it hasn’t been too much of an issue.
Maybe dip Java’s feet in water (if that isn’t too traumatic) so that the hair is flatter and easier to slick out of the way.
I cannot wait to hear if your potty area solution works.
Ooh, I used to hate to cut puppy nails. We had a poodle his thick cork-screw hair made it an extra challenge…plus, he HATED it! It took two of us to hold him down. God I miss him!
I’ve never had to deal with trimming nails on a long haired dog myself, but one of my friends uses those disposable nylon footies – poke the nail through the nylon, and it holds the hair back.
I love the pics of Java with the bag. We all need to find fun where we can, right?
Thanks for the nail cutting suggestions. I think the main thing is to do it more often so Java doesn’t try to keep pulling her feet away. That REALLY makes it hard!
So far, Java is not using her potty area for going potty. Instead, she is ripping the tape off. How did she even find the tape under the hay? She did watch me assembling the thing…
I love the Java photos with the bag!
