What a great afternoon! 😎 I enjoyed a whole bunch of fun summer stuff. It felt like such a treat playing outside on a Monday afternoon when I should have been inside getting ahead on my work. Oh, well. You only live once, right? 😉
Murphy had an absolute blast on his walk this afternoon. Let’s just say that he definitely enjoyed his own fun summer stuff! 😀
Pug + high temps = sprinkler fun!!! 
In the video, you can hear Mal and me cracking up in the background. Murphy looked ridiculous rolling around and trying to cool himself off! So funny! 😆
Dinner
For dinner, Dave and Marie invited us over to their house to eat some of the “grillables” leftover from yesterday’s Independence Day Beer Pentathlon. Of course, Mal and I enthusiastically accepted their invitation! Another night of grilling with friends?!? Sign me up! I love fun summer stuff! 😎
When we arrived, Marie had prepared a plate of red grapes, Gouda cheese, and crackers. I munched on a little bit of everything.
A little while later, the guys fired-up the grill! I went with a Coleman Organic Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage on a bun and big serving of salad on the side.
I topped my sausage with spicy mustard and Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.
I also used a little bit of Sweet Baby Ray’s for dipping my salad into. That stuff is GOOD!
For dessert, I enjoyed a small portion of cold Arborio Rice Pudding that Marie made the other day. It was to die for!! I’m actually making a batch tonight for tomorrow’s breakfast, so I will share the recipe then.
It’s Sunday Movie Night! Good night, blog friends!

Murphy is such a charmer! xD
Every time you post a picture or video of Murphy, I take one step closer to getting a pug of my own 🙂
lovelovelove murphy.
I miss our bullmastiff but am thinking a PUG is more my speed these days.
Hahaha I love Murph! He’s awesome 😀 Grilled dinner is always awesome. You sound like you’re always having so much fun! 🙂
Wei-Wei
There is nothing like a good hot dog or sausage or veggie dog (my dinner) in the summer
Murphy has the right idea. I considered running through a sprinkler today, myself…haha. 😀
the sausage sounds awesome. I don’t think we have that brand.
I love fun summer stuff too! I said to my husband last night we should run through the sprinkler!
Nothing like a tasty sausage with mustard. I’m hosting a sausage and beer pairing party this weekend. So excited!
I love Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce–it isn’t summer without it!
That video of Murphy is so funny! What a cutie!
That first picture of Murphy is too cute! What a cheeky pug. 😉
Yay for summer fun!
As a Chicagoan, I love Sweet Baby Ray’s… but I HATE that they use High Fructose Corn Syrup! I wish they’d stop – I would consume it much more regularly if they did!
Lol @ Murphy’s lawn swimming! It’s so cut how he always looks back to see if you guys are watching, you can tell he loves being your entertainment!
