A day in the life...

This past weekend we headed to one of the local lakes and wandered around taking in all of the lovely fall colors. Fall is here and the colors are the best I have seen in a few years. The weather was just wonderful...low 70's and sunny. The perfect time of year!




As we wandered around, stopping to take a few photographs I Noticed a man headed directly towards us with his young pit bull, at the end of the leash. So, I placed Rocky in a down and blocked them from getting any closer.
Not all dogs enjoy the company of a very excited young dog lunging out at them. I did not sense that the dog was aggressive....just young and overly excited. If the man had approached us and the dog remained calm and it appeared as though he could actually control the dog we could have chatted and allowed the dogs to get to know one another.
I did not allow it. Rocky was very well behaved and remained calm.

When out and about I prefer my dogs be well behaved and calm....not everyone has to pet him and I would actually prefer it if children did not run over to us either. Not all dogs are actually raised around children....so parents please teach your children how to behave around dogs....all dogs.

Rocky is not at all a water dog and the cranes and ducks, geese were very safe....he noticed them but not too much interest.
A good time was had by all and we will have to go back sometime soon!
