Well, Deb and I took all of our spoos out to a community park area in Bennington, VT last week. It was a gorgeous day with the temps in the upper 60's and sunny. The dogs had a BLAST, as always, and so did we (as always...lol). Nothing more enjoyable than watching our guys have a great time and taking pics of them doing so!
So, I hope you all bear with me (and Deb) as we took tons of pics so it will be hard not to overload you all a bit!!!!
Lots of YEEHAW by the spoos! Running and playing, it was a beautiful area (regretfully we found out later that our dogs picked up some ticks..... seems like this year is going to be a bad one for them so we are going to have to be vigilant).

"Come on, Billy, hurry up! It's WATER!" (I'll let Deb show you Billy's version of crossing water...lol)

Ok Chantel, what do you see down there??? LOL... this girl LOVES water, she even jumps into the tub when I take a shower and sometimes jumps in when I am in the bathroom thinking I will give her a bath...lol)

Ok, on our walk through, we came to this shell of an old home for workers. We never pass up an opportunity for a great photo of our dogs, so here is Deb getting Taffy to put her feet up and stay...LOL.
"Taffy, put your feet up here!"

"Am I doing it right, mom?".... "Put your feet here, ok?"

"Taffy, look out, not at me!" (Deb doing the magic trick, each hand on opposite sides...lol) Ohhh, and Alfie, don't hog Taffy's pic!

A nice run after getting all wet! Lovely view too! Oh, well, almost everyone got wet. Billy???

Fantastic photos! I especially love the one in your first post where all the multi colours are running back in a straight line.
Chantel makes me laugh, there are many PWD owners who would love for their dog to do that as it's an exercise in the Apprentice level of water trials. You should get her retrieving something! You can just fill a wiffle ball with rocks and get it to sink and her to retrieve it. Alternatively you can use a 3 prong toy. Then she'll have 1 of the 5 tasks at that level down! It's called the underwater retrieve appropriately enough.

Taffy doesn't mind the water but isn't quite as adventurous as Chantel.
