We have new neighbors two houses down ~ and a new neighborhood dawggie who is the tamest Golden Retriever ever.

Newman has a new pal   and they play in either of the yards almost every afternoon.

But not till he gives his daily dose of puppy kisses!

It’s kind of cute to see him waiting for the kids to get back from wherever they are coming from (swimming practice in this instance).  When I hear him barking and getting all excited, it means that it’s time to run next door for a sprint around the yards.  A summer ritual ~ while we are enjoying our gorgeous-can’t-complain mild weather.

Gotta love our fur babies!
