Dog Days of Summer

So we have a new member in our Family...a cute little maltese puppy named Lola. It is a very good thing she's cute at this point. Because she is most definately a puppy. In every sense of the word. What was I thinking?? We already have four children, I guess I needed another.
Today, Keegan decided he was going to baptize her in the pool...by immersion, yes. He threw her in the pool...luckily I saw, and she kept her head out of the water. All fun and games until I took her out and she no longer looked like cute little Lola. She looked like a drowned rat. Her head was all fluffy still and the rest of her was "skinny to the bones", the girls said. The boys were both terrified of her and I had to carry them screaming into the house. Poor Lola didn't know what happened to her. Ashlynn asked, "Is she ever going to look the same again?" and ran to her room crying. It was all quite hilarious, after the fact. I brushed her out and gave her a little blow-dry and she was just as cute as ever.
Never a dull moment at the Tempke's.
