Hiking at Hanging Rock Park

Today we went hiking at Hanging Rock Park.  I led the way most of the time.

I got to sniff lots of great smells.  It was a lot of fun.

Here I am at one of the waterfalls with my dad.  He took most of the pictures because he remembered to bring his iPhone but mom forgot her camera at home.

This is me with mom.  Although she forgot her camera, she did bring poop bags and water for me.  I didn't need the bags, but after the walk I drank a lot of water.

One of the hard things about being the trail leader is knowing where to go.  They have lots of signs to help you find your way.  We went to both the hidden falls and the window falls.  There are tons of stone steps that lead to the falls and I climbed down and back up all on my own.  Dad was talking about having to carry me, but I showed him.  All in all, it was a good time & I was smiling almost the whole time we were there (when I wasn't sniffing).  I hope we go back again.

Rainy Day Play

  Today it is raining.  Yesterday it rained.  And the day before that it rained, too.

The yard is muddy & I need to play.  So we play Fetch in the house.  I like to play fetch with lots of stuff.  A ball is cool because it bounces and rolls.  And Puff is cool because I can chew on different parts of him.  If I chew on his big belly he squeaks.

So Mom throws Puff down the hall & I get him.  Then we play tug-o-war with Puff a little bit, then I chew on him.  Then Mom throws him again.

You will notice that even if Puff curls up and plays dead, I keep biting him.  I find it very soothing to gnaw on his spines and ears.  I also like that in Puff's eyes I am a formidable dog.  This is a Puff's eye view of me (don't I look dangerous?)

S-N-O-W !!!!

Where are the normal yard-smells?  What's under this stuff?

This stuff is everywhere.  Look at it!  And it makes my feet cold.
