Our Goofy Kids

As this post goes live we've just returned from another trip to the desert oasis we happened upon back in July.  I'll go through those photos later, but thought today I'd share a few fun pics from our July trip.

First of all, doesn't Rich look cute holding his little purse?  Okay, it's not his purse, and it's not even a purse.  It's a tote bag I'd packed up for a picnic.  We crossed a creek and headed down this little trail.  I cannot resist following a path in the woods.




We'd intended on simply crossing this creek on our way to the lake, but LuLu had other ideas:




The water was slow and murky, but, trust me, it's nothing gross.  Just earthy and natural.  However, we hadn't planned for the dogs to swim there.  Once she was in the water, LuLu had trouble getting out again.  The bank was steep and undercut, but we called her over to a different spot where she could climb out easily.  LuLu is a very obliging little girl.

Wally, however, has a stubborn streak.




No way was he letting LuLu have all the fun, so he jumped in, too.  Same spot and he couldn't climb out, either.  Do you think he would be called over to a different spot?  NooOOOoo!  Rich to the rescue.

Here's LuLu again after a dip in the lake:




Everything is double the adventure with these guys.  Enjoy your day!

  1. LOL! It's always fun to make things more difficult than they need to be. I'm with the puppies! Isn't it heartwarming when another person or in this case, fur people, trust us THAT MUCH to abandon that which seems the right way, and paddle over to the other side for a help out? Beautiful photos, and the story you shared reminds me of how small children receive fantastic toys, only to enjoy the bows, papers, and boxes more than the gift. That's what my mind's eye saw with Lulu enjoying her non-mud bath LOL thanks for sharing, Leslie! xx

  13. Oh my, what delightful pictures! I'm with you, I always like to venture along the paths during our outings. You just never know what you will see. This was obviously a great place at least Lulu and Wally think so. Love the picture of Lulu on the picnic table. You sure have double the fun with these two! Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your recent trip. Thanks for sharing Leslie.

  17. Lovely scenery and those fun lovin' crazy water lovin' pups! Goldens just seen to navigate towards any water. We live on a creek, it's right outside our living room window actually and once when we had our Golden Nick, we had a cabin in the UP on a chain of lakes (which she loved) and we were ready to get in the car, all packed and ready to go for the 9 1/2 hour drive, and she ran and jumped in the creek and came out covered in mud up to her belly....so much for leaving she had to have a complete and thorough bath lol...but I still loved her!!
