This is what it looked like a few days ago with the heavy rains we had:
This is what it looked like when Charlie and I visited it yesterday:
and...
this is Charlie on watch, pretending to be my photography assistant. When in fact, he was just listening for his nemesis, the CHIPmunk. While I was setting up some Toy Photography, Charlie slipped away apparently on some sort of mission.
Imagine a dog who is 7 inches tall disappearing into the understory of the forest without a sound.
I couldn't hear his bell or see him. I called and called and hollered 'Cookie' as loud as I could, then I beeped his collar and buzzed him. I climbed up on rocks and took a plastic bag out and shook it [plastic bag noises almost always gets his immediate attention as that means Treats.]
Darn that dog! He is so bullheaded when it comes to the chase. He believes he is 7 foot tall and fearless.
After a few minutes of me thinking about freaking out, he came climbing up over the rocks and sat down next to my feet. He looked up at me with ... I swear... a grin on his face.
In the meantime, I had been setting up Homeless Joe and Dog. Looks like they are enjoying the nice weather also.
My walks in the woods in the mornings are my quiet time, my me time, and a time to regroup and get ready for the rest of the day.
Nice relaxing time....until Charlie pulls a disappearing act! Naughty boy. Your me time photo is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat fawn peeking out is a cute photo! We should be seeing fawns here soon from our resident muley herd.
ReplyDeleteHopefully with all that rain drought won't be an issue this year.
Oh Charlie.... that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you can't find your dog/horse/mule is awful. Little rotter, grinning at you!
Oh that little rascal! So glad he slunk back proud of himself.
ReplyDeleteOh Charlie, your nose almost got you in big trouble! I am glad you get some quiet time to regroup! :)
ReplyDeleteYou and Charlie! The perfect team. Lori
