Today’s walk

Our morning walk today looked like this:

Well, that’s what the sky looked like. It was definitely brighter than that out. 😉

It was so cool and lovely out.
The dogs were surprisingly mellow.
That’s not to say that they didn’t run around and have a blast though.
They just weren’t as ZOOM! WHOOSH! as they usually are.
So, after they got a little running around done, our walk was pretty calm and peaceful.

Lassie was, of course, glued to my side (where the treat bag is!) after he played for his usual 2-10 seconds.

Petal and Ella, once they were done racing, hopped around, going from bush to bush, as they sniffed about.
Then we (we being me, my Mom, and Ella) came across this little guy:

Or girl.
I wouldn’t really know.
Speaking of me not knowing, I’m not entirely sure what he/she is.
Anyone know?
After doing a few Google searches he looks like a tiger salamander to me.
Though I don’t know what he was doing out there. There wasn’t any water in sight.
A few slightly (very slightly) rainy days and suddenly the salamanders are moving in. ;P

In the Mind of a Dog (but not really)

“Get out of the car? But I don’t want to get out of the car.”
Photobucket
“I had such a good time today, I don’t want it to be over yet!”
Photobucket
“I’m gonna close my eyes and daydream back on my day.”
And with a blurry wave and thoughtful music Petal’s dream sequence comes into focus…

“Freeeedom!”
Photobucket
“Yaaahoooo!!”
Photobucket
“Now, let’s see here, if I can find just the right place I can have a wonderfully Disney moment… “
“Oh! Here we go!”

Photobucket

“All da colors ooooof daaaaa wiiiinnnnddd!”
Photobucket
“Lassie, are you sure you don’t want to come up here and play John Smith? Pleaaase?”
“And risk getting pokey things in my fur? Never.”
“Whatever!”

Photobucket
“Today has been a great day! Right Mr. I-won’t-reenact-a-scene-from-Pocahontas-with-my-beyond-gorgeous-sister?”

Photobucket
“Absolutely right!”
