Lay Liam Lay

We have a sunny weekend.  And it is the start of summer. Memorial Day weekend. Does not matter that the official summer start date is in June. I know it started today, Saturday, May 28, 2011,  because Leaping Liam did his first rollover of 2011.  Let me explain the title of this week's story (with a nod of course to Bob Dylan) common dog commands are sit, stay, come, leave it.  Somehow Liam added "lay" and he does not even need to be told to do so.  He goes into the "lay" position so quickly it is unstoppable. And from the "lay" position erupts the "rollover."  And let's leave the grammar alone-since it is really "Lie Liam Lie" but then we could not pay homage to Dylan.

READY TO ROLL
Liam would not do the rollover unless he deemed it a worthy warm wooferful day.  I always know when he is ready.  I have the camera poised and clicking.  He strolls out cautiously, He finds a hot spot.  Then circles the spot. Eases down front legs first then the back, settling into position.   Okay.  Maybe a turn might do. Then back again. Okay. Here we go. Flip one side to the right
rest. Again Ahh!

I have been asked the Holiday weekend question often the last few days
what are your plans?
Are you going away?
I know the suggested ones are bbqs, beach, boating, the Jones Beach Air show, parades, pool.   But no,  This weekend,
