A Good Walk

Mom sneaked me and my leash out this morning. Shhh, don't tell Zelda. I'm ready to go!

***

Uphill is not an excuse. Get a move on, Mom!

Look, Mom, I found some goldenrod. Doesn't that mean autumn is just around the next bend? And doesn't that mean school is starting again? Time to practice Dog Zen, Mom--live in the moment!

***

What's that smell? Squirrel? No. Hmmm, bear? Not hardly. Might have been, yes, I think it was that friendly pair of golden retrievers that just passed us.
***

More good scents...bullfrog? duck? lawnmover?
***

Playing the "Up" game: it took me a few tries before balancing on this little stump.

I love rolling on green grass. Especially after I've splashed through the creeks and ditches.

That was fun, Mom, are we gonna go for a long walk again?!Please?

Dog Pie

Mom is so nice. She made a beautiful apple pie for The Big Guy's birthday. She must really love me because she left a giant piece out on the counter just so I wouldn't feel left out. Yum!

Mom's Note: The dogs have been eating so many windfall apples from our tree, that they (actually Kharma) must have thought the apple pie was fair game! Ack!
