Funny Photo

This funny photo was in exchange for helping at an agility trial.  People who volunteered to work during the trial had the choice of a food coupon or a coupon for a free digital image from the photographer working the trial. What a great idea!!

Miss Leza sticking her tongue out!

Best Swimmer

The ol' gal still has what it takes, Leza enjoying this morning's swim...

 Well?? Would you throw it already!!!

Tally Gray on Gray

Tally's turn, another gray on gray morning, water is still very warm.  The sad fact is the days are getting shorter already and before long our morning river visits will have to cease.  Till then we strive to take advantage of the mornings that are left!

Fog & Frog

Beautiful mist on the water this morning liken to that of an old scary movie about swamp monsters.  But alas the only monster was the four legged Mudi kind. :-)  Unless you include the little frog we saw at the water's edge.  Mr. Nosh still splashes on his way to the bumper, but can bring it back with no problem..... go figure!

Stillness

Very still on the water this morning. Miss Leza is the silent swimmer, rarely a bark... this can be very nice especially when one hasn't had any morning coffee yet!!!

A Little Bit of Heaven

Another beautiful river morning.... something about being by the water always makes one feel good. Miss Tally is the little engine that could, I swear this dog never gets tired. The vet told me years ago that her heart was larger than most dogs for her size.  Must be it, her heart pumps enough fuel thru that little body so it just keeps her motoring on!

Sunny Morning

A slightly later start this morning for Inas's turn on the river, and the sun was shining brightly!  Playing in the water continues to be Inas's favorite part of our river trips.....he loves to retrieve the bumper in the water, but I think because he still has not mastered swimming on his way to the bumper, he is a little apprehensive.  But I still think he will get better with practice!!!!

Misty Morning

One pooped pup!

Gray on Gray

This morning was Tally's turn. The morning air was heavy, a very hot day predicted, the atmosphere wet, kind of dismal... a gray dog in a gray morning... perfect!  Tally has immense energy and strength.  She has to bark to notify the world she wants to GO.  While working, asking her to lay down between throws is the only way to curb the barking. She is one crazy lady, gotta love her!!!!

Perfect River

This morning was Inas's turn for swimming.  Another beautiful start on the day.  The height of the swimming season; summer, locust buzzing, fish jumping, birds singing, Inas barking!!!! I do believe Inas is getting better at swimming. He still splashes on his way to the bumper, but right before he reaches it, the splashing stops.  Immediately before he grabs the bumper, he must adjust his front feet so they stay under him better.  Inas loves to retrieve, yet he still likes to take time out to "play" in the water with the bumper. Silly boy.
