The Real Beginning of Summer

by Kathi D on July 9, 2010

It’s July, and what could that mean but the return of Margarita (Not Her Real Name) and her Italian Lover FlaVio (Not His Real Name) to our little end of the street? By mutual (and well-fought-out) agreement, they spend half the year South of the Border in FlaVio’s favorite spot and the other half up here in Margarita’s little bit o’ heaven. This time, they are bringing a new resident, Rocky (His Real Name), The Formerly Homeless Mexican Street Cur. Rio (Also His Real Name), Rocky’s big bro, likes Rocky just fine, but what will the pampered and spoiled resident farm dogs make of him?

Doggie Cocktail Hour resumes today at 5 p.m., that time-honored custom of the neighbors bringing over their dogs to run them ragged in the big yard, hoping to wear them out in anticipation of a quiet evening at home. Will it be a street fight or a block party?

Well let’s see? With south of the border names I’m betting on street fight.

Is your body unpruned yet;)

A.) Is Barkley sitting on a table? Not judging, just wondering. Lucy would love to sit on the table if I would let her. If she hears that Barkley is doing it I will never hear the end of it.

B.) I imagine Rocky talking with a Mexican accent and being continually drunk on cheap tequila. Probably not appropriate for a dog, but I have a screwed up brain.
