Making Time For Our Dogs At Moss Lake...part 4

This little change up in our normal routine sure was fun. We all got to explore a newly cut trail, and we also got to experience a beautiful spring day with all the signs of things yet to be.

Interesting fugus, a new one to me and these blobs were teeny tiny.

On the same rotting log were some black blobs of fungus.

Little magical creatures found their way to this dead snag.

Someone was having fun placing things for others to find...

We were half heartedly looking for morels and found this very deformed one hiding in it's own camouflage.

Do you see the rare bird in this photo?

he he he...

Nice Zen moment....

We come to a nice little brook, and it has a beaver dam that you can see just at the top of the water.

 
 The dogs think this is a great spot to get excited about. Liza is all in for this water feature. As I mentioned previously, she just LOVES to play in water ---- and mud too! You can see her get a little stuck trying to walk in the deep mud.

Because Liza was getting a bit carried away and starting to get too far away from us on the other side of the stream Dave calls her back. Of course once he picked her up and put her down on our side of the stream she took off again down the big downed tree and off to explore, so it was time to get going. Mom and dad are such worry warts!

Skip looking cute as always.

And little Jenny Boo just stood in the same spot, not being able to see where she was so staying close to mom just to be safe. It's so hard to see the dogs getting older, but we will continue to get all of them out and about as long is it is physically possible for each of them.

I hope anyone reading these posts are inspired to get out of your routine and find a new environment for your best furry friend/s to interact with. Any new environment will do, city-scapes (if your dog can feel comfortable there), desert, city parks, the possibilities are endless. Our dogs need new smells, textures, and sights on a regular basis, and so do we....
