Took her out on a long hike yesterday, much to her delight. The new header pic is from that trip, BTW...just can't resist taking pics of fall leaves. I don't try too hard either.
Happy running dog!
Another one of her checking out some wonderful woodsy smell or other (she's a hound mix, after all.) Nice to be able to let her run off-leash...she stays with me very obediently. She's a rescue and was in pretty bad shape when they got hold of her: she's apparently figured out that she's onto a good thing here and has never taken off on me.
And another of the leaves. I've never seen this sort of rainbow effect before: pretty cool. I need to take a real camera into the woods with me next time and not just rely on my phone for these.
This has to be my favorite recent dog picture, though: her nose to nose with a very alive (and probably very unhappy) turtle. Right after I took this picture she attempted to pick the turtle up in her mouth and walk away with it, at which point I had to intervene. Lucky for her that it wasn't a snapping turtle!!
Happy dog indeed! I get mine today. :) I need to find some good off-leash places, though they're hard to find in New Orleans - and of course first I need to do some basic training, since she's only been exposed to a leash for a few days.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about the possibilities. While I don't plan to start geocaching (I've seen the power it has over you and I can't have another addiction!) it's a great opportunity to get out and see more, do more.
It is an addiction. You are correct to be wary. :) Can't wait to hear how your first few days with the dog go!!
