Mom got home Wednesday and I was ready for a bunch of mom-time. She didn’t disappoint me–off we went for a trip to the river. Ball-playing. Swimming. Digging. Then some agility the next day. What more could a dog have? (psst: whisper mud)
Somehow, I was feeling a little unfulfilled, but that didn’t last–you know Mom comes through in the end. And she did! Today, I met my friends Caly and Tucker for a walk in the woods.
I hadn’t seen them in ages, so it was like old home week. Caly was so happy, she thought a little kissy face would be good. Me? Not so sure, but I let her have her fun. After all, it was Caly.
There’s nothing better than a good run in the woods. It felt sooooooo good.
Trees were changing; leaves were falling and there was a crispness in the air. What a perfect day! And what made it so perfect, you say?
I found mud!
I’m one happy dog!
Pee Ess: Mom was in shock awe when I emerged from that storm drain and, you guessed it. I had a bath. 😦

You poor thing, seems like you always end up in the tub! Looks like a pawsome time in the woods, though! How fun racing off leash. I have to always be on a leash because of my scent hound tracking stuff but I still have fun on a long leash.

We were at Powell Butte, here in Portland. It’s a fun place to go, with lots of trails in the woods and even some out in the open around an old orchard.
