Daily Walk for R & B...

the road less traveled...
Daily walks are not only good for us....but also for our beloved furry friends. I find it so relaxing...and the affects it has on the dogs....wonderful. Keeps the pack together, peace and harmony. They so enjoy it....half an hour, to hour of my time every day....of course once the walk is over if weather permitting a little Agility is the icing on the cake. they are a little more relaxed, better ability to focus. During our walk this afternoon we spied a very large flock of black birds....on every tree, bush. We stopped to take the sight and sounds (they can be pretty loud). As I had the 50 mm on the camera, only shots of the dogs looking in the birds direction as the birds were to far off to get a good shot! The two were so amazed, especially when the birds took off all at once....whish!
Once in the agility yard we started off with the pause table....a favorite to both dogs...Rocky managed a few runs but soon tired and decided it was time to chew a stick. Bailey is so enjoying the A-Frame....no pics for I must stay very close and supervise him.....finishing off with the tire. A great afternoon....maybe tomorrow I will make the time to get a little work done ;-)

Driving Lessons...
Today found Bailey and I headed to the vet clinic...nothing serious, just a puppy visit for his second set of shots. Something about a puppy makes most folks want to stop, chat and pet and love on the pup. Show the leash to Bailey and he is ready to go, or settle and nap. The leash....so amazing for when puppy get too excited in the house it can be used to quiet them down...and of course keep them out of trouble ;-)
When we headed for the door he knew....an adventure. The car is just soooo much fun for him....I am indeed thankful for that for Rocky never did take to it. Now, that does not mean he stays home for he pretty much goes everywhere with me...he would just prefer to stay home.
Once in the car the pup went right into the drivers seat....since it was one of those rare occasions I did not bring my camera along, I set the cell phone to camera. Not the greatest shots, but it was good enough to show what a happy little fella he is.
After our vet visit we went on our very first big outing....the local pet store. A new location...most are not aware it is even open so there were no other dogs in the store. We wandered about.....managed a short training session....but oh my, soo many things to see, sniff and explore. Several children came up to us wanting to pet him....it was indeed a wonderful trip out and about.....oh and as for the shots....as Bailey is very food motivated he did even blink an eye as he was way too busy trying to get the treat!

Fun in the Sun...
Yes indeed, the sun is shining and the property is drying out.Wonderful for the dogs to get out and play, romp and just relax taking in all of the sights, sounds and scents.
While I have some work today I have decided there will indeed be many breaks throughout the day.
While we have gone for walks, played in between the rain...it is always better when the sun is shining. Time for all of us to get rid of all that excess energy.
Bailey is growing like a weed...I can almost see it happening. One day he looks thinner, but longer....he is so loving training...going for walks and his most fun thing....playing and romping with Rocky...oh and climbing. We are starting to think he has some mountain Goat in his pedigree ;-)

Friends
Not so much an adventure, however after days of rain it was great fun to find a dry patch of land and watch the pup and Rocky play. Rocky, who is not known for his gentle ways is just so smitten with Bailey. It is wonderful to watch the relationship....they are becoming such great freinds.Of course I am there to oversee for puppies can so easily become over stimulated and annoy the older dogs....not at all fair to any of
them.
Pot of Gold ;-)
The hardiness is unbelievable for it can grow in all zones....sun, shade....dry soil, wet....it will grow anywhere. One does have to feed it the best food....slight pruning every now and again...and of course....this plant thrives when in an environment where there is lots of love, laughter...one cannot ever lavish too much attention on it.
Please remember to get the seeds from a reputable grower...mine the seeds are a wonderful mixture that have been in the family for generations....
Ok....so now can you guess what we have been doing....more rainy days here in Atlanta....lots of energy and mud....fun was had by all, that is until bath time ;-)

Happy New Year...
Yes, the New Year has come and gone....a little late but I hope all had a wonderful Holiday season. As you can see in the image, one more pup added to the pack. Bailey is a three month old Golden that is just too cute for words. He at the moment is a little shark with fur...biting and chewing on everything and anything that moves. Looking forward to sharing our adventures for 2009.
