The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

I do love looking at your pictures especially when I'm sat on my lovely comfy sofa with my warm fluffy slippers on.... 

Thank you for my pictures  

What are you doing with you bows Tara? I bet mom will be cleaning up one day and find that pile you've got hiding 

All that  mud...know you were on

I suspect it is so that parents don't bring their children inside the dog area and then whinge that the nasty dogs are spoiling their Little Darling's fun.  

The best story about that swimming area I have heard is from the woman who brought her Jack Russell there to teach him 'how to swim'.

Yeah right.  Like he needed that?

Anyway, apparently, they went through the gate, and he saw the water, dashed into it, and started to swim.  Right out into the lake.  In a straight line.  After the panic had worn off, she ran around the lake to meet him on the other side (several hundred yards in a direct line) and fished him out - tired but incredibly proud of himself!

Moral of the story: keep your dog on a long line until you know that he knows to come back.

LOL.  Our first Boxer was a great swimmer - did it for fun, to swim with us, fetch sticks or just cool off.  During that time we were still camping so she had access to lakes.  Then we got Mack (the truck) who was about 85 lbs.  We still did a lot of hiking and of course walking the dogs every day but didn't camp anymore and before we knew it.....he had never had a chance to see if he could swim!  So we made a special trip to a local resevoir on a hot day and walked him slowly into the shallow water to where it got deeper.  Mack just kept walking.....down, down, down and made no effort to swim.  Glug, glug, glug - Mack was a submarine. We gave him a few seconds to see if he'd start paddling and finally pulled him up. He was just too big and heavy.  He liked to run through the shallow surf on the beach but never ventured past his tummy.

Love those pics, what a gorgeous sky! Ooh and the ducks, love them and seeing there little feet reminds me of the duck feet Missy has in the freezer- need to give her one!! Oh Tara I agree those big dogs were scary and didn't mom know you had to scream to protect her from them?! What a good protector you are, bowless yes but a good protector still! 

Sounds like quite an eventful walk.  Sorry you were so scared, Tara.  I hate that you keep losing your bows.  That stinks when they won't stay in.  

Cato, I"m sorry you couldn't do any hunting on this walk.  That bites doesn' it?   

Love the nice sky pics your Mum took! They are very nice!
