On gorgeous fall Sundays, we all spend a lot of time outside.

Every time one of us steps outside, they feel the need to put on a show.

Let's face it, they do it all the time, anyway.

Thea looks like she's laughing her dang fool head off.

Violet's a lover, not a fighter.

Break's over. We joke that Violet is the hardest working dog in show business. She takes her duties very seriously and clearly feels more comfortable controlling the perimeter than cavorting with those other two bozos.

Thea's ready to rest, however.

Violet, listen to your mother.

But Lucy's a restless soul.

D.O.D. Dogs on Duty. The trick is to make it look like you're resting.

Lucy and Thea cave pretty sharpish. Violet has everything under control.
