We are having the MOST beautiful weather at the moment - only 84 degrees for a high today and a cool wind so we headed off to the park early when it was even cooler and we walked and walked and walked and WALKED. In fact we did the whole 3.3 miles around the lake! We walked slow and sat and rested lots and we were SO happy we even let Mom get a couple of good photos with the flashy beast. I even agreed to sit instead of my normal laying down! Best of all I got in some great goose chasing practice - it would of been better if I didn't have the Dweeb being a dead weight but where I go he HAS to go. (Check out the video at the end)
Here I am having one of rest stops and check out this beautiful butterfly - it was almost as big as Moms hand and there were so many of them fluttering around. Mom wishes she could of got the iridescent blue on it's wings to have shown up better.
At the end of our walk Mom had a big bowl of nice cool water for us. If you click on the photo you will see something you don't often see - did you know doggie tongues turn backwards when we drink. It makes a scoop then puts the water into our mouth. When we got home Mom had another treat for us - we each got a nice cold frosty paw treat.
Morning folks! Glad to hear you're having such a wonderful time. Apparently we are having 5 sunny days to look forward too!

Wow we'd love a goose chase. Glad you have cooler weather. Enjoy it while you can and enjoy the Frosty Paws. Have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Good job on the geese Reilly!
ReplyDeleteWe too are having fantastic weather this week. It's a glorious 70 degrees, and Oreo is full of beans, wanting to play ball non stop.
Enjoy the nice weather!
Good job on park patrolling. Chase those poop machines away.

Lucky you! woke up here to more huge thunderstorms & it's been raining all day...I love your sashay as you "nonchalantly walk along" in the video...You've got the best hip swing ever...And no, I didn't know that about dog tongues
ReplyDeleteYou are a smooth chaser that's for sure. Thanks for the leason.
ReplyDeleteYou tell those geese to get off your path, Reilly. They are so messy!
ReplyDeleteOKAY guyz... we like ALL the pictures... butt we have HUGE Admiration fur your mum... getting that GORGEOUS pic of the Butterfly.
ReplyDeleteIt has turned Septemberlike HERE also.
We are having lovely weather here too in the 70s in July! What a beautiful park you have to take a walk (& chase geese)! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice day!!
ReplyDeleteJust like a Sheltie!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Be careful, geese are the reason Dakota hates taking walks. One tried to attack him :(
Cool tongue curl picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your tongue trick, that is cool. We hate it when our Lady ties us together. It impacts our hunting!

Hmmm, maybe if the Dweeb, er Denny, had boots.......
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice walk and treats. I remember your Momma telling us about a bad tick season, we are having it too. Hopefully none at this park!
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been beautiful too! Love how Reilly's ears bounce when he's nonchalantly walking toward the geese. Katie's do that too. It's really good to see him running...such a good boy!
ReplyDeleteNow listen, Dweeb....we mean Denny...geese (and other birds) are SUPPOSED to be chased and barked at. You'd better lift your game, mate.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Tell ya what even though you had to drag some extra weight around I bet the geese were terrified. Love the tongue shot.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,'Goose
What a great day the two of you had and we LOVED the goosie chase video, Reilly!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
Wow,that was great! I will watch it again for this perfect "side leap".
ReplyDeleteHave fun with frosty paws!
Great walk. Did you tell mom if you walk 3 miles every day you will sit nice for the flashy beast
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
