Black and Tan Dog Day

Ha ha - we had Wicky and Jackets today, along with Bosley and Rudy, the black n' tan clan! We had a peaceful romp around a number of different trails today, I was bored with the same 'ol routes so we mixed it up a bit.

 The black n' tan clan get started on our hike with a snowy climb

They started out forensic sniffing, especially as grassy areas are cropping up, and we went for a snowy climb before heading into beautiful forests...don't get me wrong, I am a snow monkey like the rest of this town, but it felt reaaaaalllllly good to have solid rock under my feet - almost time to get the bikes out! (Pemberton is good to go btw if anyone is interested)

 Treat time - Bos looks so cute!

Did someone drop a biscuit...? Bos and Jackets are such droolers! Esp Bos, it comes out in thick gloops like a bullock waiting at the gate for his hay!

Also got some great mugshots of Rudy and Wicky below -  post biscuit of course!

 So they trotted and sniffed, and Bos, Wicky and the Rudester had awesome playtimes..,Jackets was hanging out with me after her mum reported she had seemed a little stiff that morning, although she was apparently treated to a mama massage - it seemed to work! Must have got the circulation going well :)

 Bos, Wicky and Rudy enjoying an uphill gallop while Jackets climbs steadily on her way

We played for ages in the forest - it was so nice not to be sliding about to be honest and I was dancing about the trails with them snapping away with the camera as I ran (should probably just focus on my footing - 4 legs must be way easier!). The light was awesome with green trees and moss contrasting with the rocks and the dogs...gooood times again today!

Exploring a squeaking Squirrel that soon held it's tongue with these two in pursuit!

Wanna break the ice Bos?

More forest climbing, Jackets and I close behind

 Wickey chews a fallen tree - that isn't going to come with us Wicket!

The hounds enjoy the view as I climb up after them

Almost home - can you spot Rudy's little face poking through the trees? You may have to click on the shot to enlarge - it was so cool; dogs popping out from behind trees just making sure I was still there! Makes a girl feel wanted :) my husband tends to just holler at me from his location usually waaaay ahead!!

Back on the more open snowy trails Jackets and I change direction on the others instigating a good gallop about! Another super fun day - see you all tomorrow! AroOOOOoooOOO!
