While a lot of the US is sweltering or enduring horrible wildfires, summer in our little part of the world has yet to arrive. I’d be happy if it stayed just like it is, but, I know it’s coming…probably in a week or so. 
I don’t really like the heat, but if there’s enough water around, I’ll manage. Mom says I don’t have any choice.
Speaking of water, we went on a hike to a new place a couple of days ago. It was near my favorite place in the whole world–1000 Acres.

I was in the mood for some good ol’ romping with my pals Caly & Tucker

and a lot of zoomies!

That felt sooooooo good!

On the way to the Columbia River, we found some little cairns on a wall that might have been a dike. We didn’t know why they were there…maybe someone though that dike needed some decorations.

Of course, I had to check it out…

On we went.
I had lots of opportunity to get my furs wet along the way. 
We made it to the Columbia.
Did a little swimming.
Romped a bit.
And then headed back to the car.
So, you ask, “What’s this about a rainy day?“
Mom and her friend both checked the weather before we headed out and there was only a 20% chance of rain. That’s NOTHING. Well, guess what? That 20% suddenly became 100%–about a mile or so from the car. Being the intrepid hikers that we are, I said “what’s a little rain?” 
But, Mom sure looked funny with water dripping off her head. I had to show her how to do a proper shake!
Did you take a picture of her shaking off??? BOL!

We love your zoomies photo Sage – they look like so much fun! Bella & Beary x
I was not disapointed, you found the water!!!
Yay! Lots of fun for you! Glad you found lots of water!
Ginger says she wants a picture of your mom shaking the water off… sigh.. LOL
Ha! Good luck with that
Hi Y’all!
I’m BOL at your mom…wish I’d seen the shake!
I’m passing the Sunshine Award to you. Stop by tomorrow and pick it up!
Y’all come by now,

Oh,how we could use a little rain here, actually a lot of rain. It is so very dry and so very hot. Enjoy those cool and wet days for us. Love that shaking photo. Now let’s see Mom do it:)

Looks like you had a wonderful time Sage and that’s a darn good shake you have there
Sage it looks like you had a great time! We’d trade some treats for rain in our yard. We’ve been in a heat wave for days. Stay cool when it comes your way!
Bella and DiDi
Glad you made the best of a not-so-sunny day
You sure know how to have a good time!
You must be the only people in blogville who are having rain! Love the pic of you having a good shake, Sage! X
Maybe you’re a rainmaker, Sage. If so, I bet some people in Colorado would be happy if you could send some their way.
Great pictures! Enjoy the nice weather before the heat moves in sweet Sage. We are more than ready to see autumn already around here…wish it would come on. Good job showing your mom how to shake off that water. Hugs and nose kisses
The last picture is especially good! Great pictures Sage.
