Yeah I know, I always come out with that one, but today was the best, really...I was in my element in mossy rocky rainy forests with 5 cool dogs, and they were just loving life and galloping together as a pack for over 2 hours! I am so tired as we literally ran, rolled, dug, and played the whole time. And Theo, oh man, don't know what he had for breakfast but he was on fire! I was watching him on the longline for the first few minutes and noted that he was paying attention to me and following the other dogs, then coming back to me in the awesome way they all do...so I let him off and he erupted into cool old-man-dog energy that blew me away - even leaping over logs with the others! SO much fun...we all had the best time ever and I hope the dogs are as tired out as I am!! Today's rockstars were Theo and Kayla, Rudy, Jayda and Indy...here are the shots: :)
Galloping from the word go!
Love this shot...dogs and trees. The energy was awesome, the whole forest feeling excited as dogs popped in and out of the trees and I ran snapping away with the camera!
Climbing up
Playing on the woodwork...
Theo the Spring Lamb - look at him go!!
Happy hounds waiting for a treeeeeeeat!
As we wound along the trails we found way more snow in more open areas which at first I thought was odd but then I guess we must have been in more sheltered terrain that does not get as much sun? As I was pondering this the dogs were dancing around me..so as a bit of an experiment I just dropped to the floor and did not move...they were so cute, noses and licks all over my eyes (trying to open them?!) and Kayla barked and barked and put fir cones over me in case I should wake up and want to play...was cool, and good to know that they would be there if I should keel over one day!
I couldn't lay still for long so much to Kayla and Theo's delight I leaped up and threw a couple of snowballs for them!
Then onwards and upwards!
Love this shot of Kayla...I was just about to snap a shot of the first Skunk Cabbage flower I saw of the season...and she put her nose right on it, bonus!!
Jayda has a splash about
Heading for home the pace at last slows down a bit, I was sweating!
Soon enough the truck came into view
Chillin' in the truck and the end of the BEST hike ever...! See you all soon, ArOOOOOooooOOOOOO!
