Doghausted !

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.

    We 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!

  12. Thanks for sharing your tongue trick, that is cool. We hate it when our Lady ties us together. It impacts our hunting!

  15. Our 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!

  16. Now listen, Dweeb....we mean Denny...geese (and other birds) are SUPPOSED to be chased and barked at. You'd better lift your game, mate.

    XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
