Lakeside view

We were planning on going to the beach today but for some reason all the 'would-be-surfers' we out in force and MY beach was quite busy - not sure why as the waves were barely 3 foot high - we guess they were hoping it would improve. So Mom decided it was a good day to do a lap around MY Hanna Cowspotdog Lake which is actually 3 lakes but we just went around the big one today. There are 3 fishing docks on this lake and lots of places to just sit and enjoy the view. The lake has been stocked with a variety of fish and we love watching them jump out of the water - Mom thinks maybe there are gators in there after all as the fish we see jumping are about a foot long and it has to be something big chasing them to make them jump. We have yet to see any gators but we are always super vigilant when ever we are near the lake. There was also the ever present cormorant (shag) sitting on a pole drying off his wings. We love watching them dive bomb into the lake to catch a fish but they are so fast it is hard to get a picture of them doing it.

  5. Be careful. Gators are very sneaky. Our Florida associate Miss Charlee's humans like to go fishing, but there's always a big old gator waiting to snap up the fish they throw back in the water. Sometimes he gets a bit too friendly. They're going to have to find another fishing spot!

  6. What a beautiful walk. Dog Dads Mom and Dad are always warning about gators in the lakes. If you see water think gator.

  23. Maybe your lake has an ancestor of the infamous Loch Ness monster. Keep you eyes sharp.
