River Ride

I can't lie.  The dogs have not gotten their swimming adventures in this spring near as much as they would like.  With it being turkey season for a few weeks, rain, cold, and me with only one working foot, we haven't taken them out much yet.  So this weekend was dry for a little while so we did just that.

We loaded them up.
Sounds easy enough right?  

Wrong!
We have too many dogs.  There was no room for the boys.
Seriously, what kind of parents are we?
Luckily, they're kids and thought it was great.

After awhile though, they all got tired of bouncing around so it was just easier to run.

Poor Huck didn't even get a ride.  He ran the whole way.

Speaking of Huck, I took a couple pictures of him standing tall and proud.

Whether or not he felt tall and proud, I do not know.  But what he seemed to be was annoyed by the birds that kept flying by his head.

They were all happy to be back at the river with some sunshine.

We just sat and watched.  Afterall, it is what I do best.

Doesn't seem to matter how cold it is, dogs and small boys will always get in the water.
Those cows up there are fine as long as they stay up on the bank...

But not when they start heading for the water!
Yikes!

They ran the whole way home and totally loved running off that energy.

Until that energy ran out. . .  then they tried to hijack us.
They were ready to lay around again for the rest of the evening once we got home.

*Just a little update...this is our puppy, Finley who is now 5 months old, next to her mama.  They are almost the same size, in fact I think Finley's legs are already longer.

Here is a little update on a more specific due date on our Upcoming Litters
