Lake Tapps

Over the weekend we were invited out to Kali and Eric's lake house at Lake Tapps. It was absolutely wonderful up there! There was a tennis court, basketball hoop, shuffleboard, a dock with a diving board, and of course the beautiful lake setting. We basically just enjoyed the lovely weather and hung out in the sun while all the pups ran around ALL DAY LONG. If someone got into the water or threw something into the water, Rally was sure to follow. That dog just loves the water.
Speaking of water, we also brought some watermelon and thought it would be funny to feed it to the dog. He was mostly confused, but nibbled some off and seemed to enjoy it!
There was also a floating dock (or whatever you call it) further out to the lake and Rally and a couple of his new friends went out there and hung out for a bit. Once he realized that we were back on dry land, he got really confused. It was kind of cute!

Unfortunately, due to Rally's excessive playing and not really knowing his limits, he injured his front paws pretty badly. He started limping a lot when everyone was starting to settle down so we had to take a look. Apparently from all the rough housing outside, the skin on both of Rally's paw pads had been completely scraped off. We had to carry him a lot the rest of that day.
The next morning we were pretty worried about him so Glenn ran to the grocery store first thing in the morning to get some bandages. We wrapped up poor Monstah's feet and he pretty much hated it. You gotta do what you've gotta do though.
He pretty much rested all he could to recover. Walking was just too much. We tried to lay with him as much as possible so he would feel comfortable.
As you can see, he is all back to normal now. He's perfectly fine and his paws are healing nicely. Next time though, he's wearing shoes.
