Two girls, a dog, and a trampoline.

Put that all together and you have non stop FUN! As you can see the wind has beat our poor trampoline net to death. Good thing thing we have another one waiting in the wings. We aren't going to replace the old one until we absolutely have to. The girls LOVE the trampoline. Now that the weather is warming up (now only if we could get rid of this darn wind!) they are always outside jumping.Alex is still a little unsure of jumping with CASSIUS. He is always ready and willing to hop up there and show them how it's done. They have so much fun jumping with him. He gets rowdy but all you ever hear is laughing and GIGGLING.
He's really getting the hang of the whole jumping thing. He loves to chase his tail on the trampoline. The other day after school, we put the SPRINKLER under the trampoline. It was so funny to watch him try to pounce on the water. We'll have to get some VIDEO of that and post it.
When ever I get on the trampoline he gets REALLY wild. He loves to try to get my piggies for some reason. My stomach hurt so much today after laughing and trying to get away from him. It was so much fun. What an AMAZING dog we have!
Sydney likes to JUMP with Cassius. He's really good at being calm with the girls. He knows to be more gentle with them. When Clay walks outside, or me, Cassius knows it's PLAYTIME.
He was TRAINED by his previous owner to do some tricks. When we feed him, before we give him his food he has to do his tricks. He can sit, lay down, shake, give a high five and jump up for a treat. I love to take him for a walk every evening. The girls are so EXCITED to come home from school every day and play with him.
Clay use to have a dog that would jump on the trampoline with him. He is LOVING this dog.
The girls have never been happier. Cassius came at the perfect time for our FAMILY. We're very happy to have such an amazing dog join our family. The girls are going to have so much fun playing with their new PLAYMATE all summer. We can't wait to be out of school so we can play all day.

Every family should have a dog : ) I'm glad Cassius brings you so much pleasure.

I actually just wrote a post about pets and their role in the family unit and would love your feedback
