Summer days...but can we smell fall already?!

Cassius, Skip and I had a lovely rage round Green Lake Loop today, and with a sprinkling of leaf litter on the trails I detected the slightest hint of fall...and a slightly chilly morning made me excited about skiing already! I love the changes of the seasons - keeps it all interesting! Anyway, back to the subject in hand...DOGS! Cassius was full of beans, leaping about and dancing at my side, Skipper was trotting along, raging with Cassius or barking at squirrels...loving life as he does the little darling! They were both a pleasure to hang out with as always. Here are the shots:
Ready for the off..some sitting in the truck practice...10 out of 10 to them both, especially with added distractions all around them in the squirrel form! Good boys!
Into the sunshine we go - check out Cassius bowing to Skip before they gallop, and Skip's tail plumed up ready to roll!
Dogs on logs...a little refreshment en route
Up we go...noses stuck to the ground, tails waving erratically as each sniff gets more interesting!
I LOVE this! We pretty much ran all the way to the lookout point (My glutes are stiff already, yikes!) and as we stopped on the rock for a breather, a plane landed, Skip struck a manly smouldering eye pose and Cassius gave us a striking profile shot - awesome!! 
...then  we got dirty! Raging about we went looking to see how the new trail was coming on further North...there was actually a bunch of workers on site so we kept going on the original trail before I realised the time and we had to gallop back up! I was kinda wishing I could stay all day with them and join up with our Wedge trails...but alas, more sensible jobs had to be done, sigh....one day, we will rock it all the way! Any takers from owners ? - all welcome!
Skip doing his 'special eyes' as I throw sticks for them to encourage a swim to clean up and re hydrate after our mad gallop down...was so fun! See you all tomorrow, AROOOooooOOOOOoo!
