We had intended to go to Riverwalk in Naperville last night and meet folks from the Lake Shore Swissy club.  But it was gray and looked like it was going to storm.  It didn’t.  We usually walk around by the river a bit with anywhwere from 3-8 Swissies and sometimes a long-haired hippie freak, aka a Bernese Mountain Dog.  We will get stopped about every 10 feet or so with the “what mix are they” questions.  I had one guy certain that Swissies are not actually a pure bred breed, but are a cross of Rottweiler and St. Bernard.  He went as far to argue about it.  I do see his point, but I think we all know what type of dog we have.

After the walk, we saunter over to Quigley’s Irish pub and hang out on their porch with the dogs.  Since we missed it last night, hubby and I decided to libate a bit in the house.

This is what Indy looks like when the beer can opens.

When Dan sits down, they all clamor over him to get into the glass.  Dogs like Guinness.

Now, I also mentioned laser pointers.  Indy is the first dog that we’ve had that seems to love them.  We don’t want her to go crazy EVERY time she sees light, so we only play this once in a while.  If you look very closely, you can see the green on the floor.
