Summer Fun!

Hi blogging world! Kumquaty here.

Quinn and I decided that I should take over the blog as her social life keeps her quite occupied and I'm always hogging the laptop for school these days.

Thought I would update you all on the wonderful first summer we had.

The summer started off with a splash! Quinn was assisting me with opening up the pool in May. There must have been some pretty good smells from decaying leaves under the pool cover, because Quinn was eagerly rolling on the pool deck trying to get the smell on to her and rolled right into the pool! Quinn was a bit wet but no worse for wear, and quickly decided that she did not (and still does not) enjoy the pool even on the hottest days of the year!

I got a bit obsessed with Etsy this summer so for Quinn's 1st birthday and Snickers 14th (!!!) they got beautiful new tags from MetamorphDesigns. They both looked smashing in their new jewellery so we had a little photo shoot!

We had such a nice summer and my girls are always extra helpful and decided to give me a hand with a product shoot for a client. They are both such sun bums and absolutely love sunning on our deck all afternoon long. 

   

I was really happy to see how much Snickers has really come around the past few months. She is much more patient with Quinn now even when Quinn goes barrelling past her on mission of some sort! They still have the odd moment when Snickers has words with Quinn but it is completely warranted considering Quinn can be quite the pest of a puppy at times and Snickers just wants to be left alone. Some nights they even get playing together and chasing one another around the backyard (Quinn's favourite game!).

To sum up our lovely summer, Spikey Head and I were able to take Quinn away camping with us. We were worried about how she would behave as she can be quite the little princess when it comes to having to be tied up, but she was awesome. She had a pretty good stretch of land to cover on her rope and could be with us everywhere on our campsite, which is her main goal. Everyone who came camping with us was great with giving her attention and getting her to do tricks for treats!
