Jaya and Jazzy's 4 Month Birthday

Saturday was Jaya and Jazzy's 4 month birthday.  It is the age at which the pups begin to go many places they couldn't before, so for the big celebration we took the pups to Bearlake.  

It is easy to tell these pups are sisters, they are alike in so many ways; Ryan and I had to look at their tags to see which dog we had.  While they played it seemed that they did not know who was who either.  Jaya was chewing on her own foot at one time and Jazzy really liked to lick Jaya's ears. Yuck! 

When we began driving to Bearlake Jazzy and Jaya were already tired and slept all the way.  For the last half of the drive Jazzy and Jaya lay intertwined on the passenger's seat floor.  They were sleeping with paws crossed over and each one had their paw on the other's face. 

Once we arrived the puppies were so excited to get out on the beach and explore.  We headed straight toward the water, but Jazzy and Jaya were not sure what to think of all this water, and all the sand that looked so tasty to them.

They played tug and wrestle in the water, but neither of them really liked getting splashed and they could not figure out how to stop that.  While walking in and out Jaya would lift her feet high up in the air everytime as if she were trying not to hurt the sand underneath.  They liked to sneak up on each other and then pounce towards each other.  They started crouching down...

Then...pounced, splashed, and tackled!

Ryan and I had fun with them too.  I took each of them out deep enough where they could barely touch the bottom so that they could try swimming.  Jazzy did NOT like it.  Jaya was not sure what to think, but she swam around a few times before deciding it was not great.

This is Jaya swimming....

After a lot of play in the water AND the sand, it was definitely time for a nap.  Jaya chose the nice comfy and clean, previous to her getting on, blanket.  (Not really, it already had sand all over it). 

While Jaya was taking a nice afternoon nap I caught Jazzy being a curious pup.  I am not sure what she was looking for, but soon she had her head in the sand and her back end barreling up in the air.

.....Result..............................

They played one last game in the water and then we headed home with two very tired puppies, Ryan was pretty tired too.

After we arrived home we had to get all of that sand out of their fur, so we gave them a bath, TOGETHER!  They did not like it, but hopefully it helped that the other pup was in the tub with them.

They had a GREAT time playing together!
