Ice Cream

The weather has been real hot here in the valley with temperatures reaching near 100 degrees. We have several ways to cool, off jumping into the pool, running in the sprinklers, playing with the garden hose and cool treats to eat.
One of the things we cool off with is ice cream and of course we have to share with our pets. You can see from the picture that Dolly our 9 year old African Gray Parrot enjoys her ice cream cones.

My grandson Grant who is two years old loves to share treats with the bird and our dogs Nika and Ricki. You can see them in the video playing with Grant as they all cool off.


You may have a few questions after watching the video. Like don't those big dogs ever miss the water and nip Grant. The answer is no. Grant has been been playing this game with the dogs since he could walk. He is always feeding them treats which he will hide in his hands and they have to carefully extract them. They are great friends and play together four days a week.
If you are interested in seeing more videos of Grant and the dogs visit my video site. You will find several videos documenting their interaction. This is especially interesting if you are contemplating raising a German Shepherd Dog with children.
