Lakes, trails, forests and sunshine!

It was just me, Skipper and Sadie today, a calm before tomorrow's full pack that are booked in! With two awesome dogs at my side we jus' raaaaan (yes, Forrest Gump style again!) and it was AWESOME! Starting with a dip we then galloped around the trails and sniffed out the other end of Comfortably Numb (we normally start at Wedge entrance) and flew about before popping out into a clearing to crash through the undergrowth into the Fitz Creek for a refreshing dip and hilarious game of stick..Sadie was SO FUNNY..she was playing so animatedly with her stick; just like a pup rearing up, shaking it, squealing and yipping, and Skipper just had to go get his own as she was not having him near hers! Ha - it's normally Skip who is the stick stealthy stealer so this was a little karma for him! Good times, lots of laughs...here are the shots!
trotting out into the sunshine...noses down and tails up 
...then swim number 1
...ready to rock the trails guys? Look at Skip's little face...so cute these two!
Up we go...Sadie galloping on was full of energy, Skip was gently trotting then seemed to wake up as the cobwebs were blown away and off we went! Galloping on together and having an awesome game of chase!!!
..the aforementioned game of chase...with Skip a blur of white and Sadie in full flight!
ha ha - we came to a fork, both dogs choosing different paths initially, I went left (as most right handed people do when trying to be random) so Skip had to do a u-turn and scamper back to meet us!
on we go...weee!
Stopping for a brief break and cuddle!
Down we go...a bit of a bush wack!
Stick play was soooo funny! We started off together...
Sadie then flounced off and did a little tribal dance to herself...
...Skipper the social chap was a little put out by this...
...so was given his own stick and did his own dance! man I love these guys, they are so funny!!
So we goofed around for a while longer...e laughing my head off most of the time at their antics!
Then the large stick in each maw...made for home! Good times my friends! Watch for tomorrow - it will be a goody too, arOOooooOOoOo!!
