We made to a state park to hike.
We tricked fate.
We casually loaded up the two older dogs (not our usual hiking buddies) and *ran to Walmart*. See, that was key in tricking fate. Lying about our destination.
I didn't take many photos. We had the dogs and the park was full of people/dogs/horses/crazed park rangers on golf carts.
We had our hands full working the dogs around 101 distractions.
Henry (beagle/jack russell mix) wanted to bark at the splashing horses.
Oh hell no, pal.
And Strider (Rotti/coon hound mix) wanted to eat this dragonfly.
Absolutely hell no, buddy.
We try to be exemplary dog owners .
Quiet, well-behaved (or faking) dogs..kept on leash.
We clean up after our dogs.
But...I would appreciate a trash can somewhere in the park! Grr!
We didn't see any wildlife...but that's what home is for.
We have absolutely nooo intention on going hiking again tomorrow.
None.
Zero. Zip.
*cough*
just another outing to walmart, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your wilderness buddies that arrive in your yard. (and i'm not even counting Pig this time!)
Look at all those turkeys! Then again you probably saw some of a different variety at the park, too.
ReplyDeleteNothing like carrying around a baggie full of hot doggie poo all afternoon to help you enjoy the great outdoors. I think I would have been more inclined to sit on your porch and watch the show.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really pretty place to hike...but so does your yard!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe you need to get another oil change instead of going to a park! hehehe
ReplyDeleteI say toss the poo in the woods where someone won't step in it! That's what I would do. There's no way I'd carry it around because then someone would have to be cleaning up my puke!
It's not exactly a fair fight, when you compare your place to just about any park. With all those people and dogs trampling through, I can't imagine that the wildlife would stick around for long.
ReplyDeleteThose deer - are they mule deer? We've got mostly white tails up here, and yours look different.
Sounds like fun and the pics are great. But, carrying around the doggie poo....not so great!
ReplyDeleteYay, you made it!
ReplyDeleteHaving 2 in diapers, I feel your poo pain. Ewwww!
There's no place like home... love the Bambi photos. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny how the wildlife are not visible in the official parks. You made it sound like an insanely non-restful place. I hope that your *not* hiking (cough) is more peaceful tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos from home!
This year was the first time I have ever seen an elk with spots. I havent seen a deer. Love Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful catch.
you should put in a booth and charged admission!
ReplyDeletenow you're making me want to go camping again...soon...and hiking! yeah, it must be tough with the dogs...and their POO.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the deer pic's! awesome!! especially the young one with the spots!!
