Family Reunion 2013

Our family reunion is held annually here in Marysville at Barb and Ron's house.  It includes lots of food, family and fun.  The hay ride is a must followed by a day of telling old stories and some new ones and lets not forget about the smores around the fire pit. 

This was the first year Cash got to attend the family reunion. She had a great time but ended up having to stay on a leash after an unfortunate incident of rolling in the freshly tilled garden and gorging herself on crab apples. Prior to her leashing she got to play with several of my extended family and two other dogs that were there as well , Cooper and Pepper.  She also kept trying to make a dash for the shallow and muddy creek bed.  She is such a tomboy!

Happy 4th of July

As a photographer I love taking pictures of my pooches ... the girls love being models but Tank is to tough to act like he enjoys the extra attention.

As you can tell Cash is the happy model , Avery is the old Pro, and Tank just looks like he wants to be out in the field retrieving ducks not wearing cute outfits.

So today being the 4th of July we went to our local Marysville parade. My husband and I took Cash and Tank ( Poor Avery once again got left at home ). It was their first experience at a parade and they loved it. A few of the parade participants even threw out dog biscuit instead of candy for the furry parade watchers. Cash even found a friend named Maddie to hang out with during the festivities.

Thanks for reading my blog , and everyone have a safe and happy holiday.

Mother's Day Hike

So today is mother's day and since I only have 4 legged kids I spent they day with them.  Dave and I took them for a 3 mile walk at the Pottersburg Bridge Trail in North Lewisburg. It's a nice paved trail about 15 minutes from our home. We started off the walk later in the evening since it was so hot out. Every thing was great on the walk temperture was wonderful and the bugs weren't to bad. Dave even found some geese sitting in a field not to far off  of the trail and he let Tank ran and chase them. Good time for all. The dogs got to play in the creek at the end of the trail before heading back to the car.

As the sun was going down and we were on our way back to the car  we saw a skunk on the trail about 50 feet away. At this point the trail was deserted so Tank and Avery were off leash. Not a good thing when they love to chase critters.  Dave and I quickly got leashes on the dogs and froze. No one blink , bark, or move. I did not want to ride home in a car that had 3 dogs freshly sprayed by a skunk. The skunk was in no hurry as it moseyed down the trail for several minutes. I was to scared to even breath. The dogs saw the skunk but were so good they didn't make a sound. Once the skunk went on it's way we were headed home. Rather quickly to avoid any other encounters with critters.

What a great mother's day overall puppy time and a hike what more could a girl want!
