A Ducky Day Near Pescadero!

Around 9:30 a.m. on July 4th, Dad, Mom, me, Avalon, Sue and Shanti arrived in Pescadero for an interesting day at a beautiful spot close to this sign.
Lovely Jones Lake is part of a property owned by a Nursery that leases the land to groups who practice for hunt tests with their dogs. As such, it is very private - we felt incredibly fortunate to have been able to share Independence Day with only a couple of other people and their dogs! What a treat it was going to be for our little pack to see what dogs who train for hunting have to do! But first, we had some fun; actually, we had a blast throughout the entire day!

This is a little collage to show that when we got up close and personal from the rowboat, that it was really quite wild. You can biggify. As you saw in the slideshow, there are lots of birds and ducks and probably turtles too! (I'm sure there were frogs, Norwood, but we didn't see or hear any!) The other doggies you see in the movie are Shanti, Cadence, Musette, and Shanti's brother, Rondo.
Thought I was stuck in the rushes for a moment!

Lunchtime, Dad!

My favorite part of the day was swimming after my kong on a rope of course, but as you can see, my sis has learned how cool it is to swim after something too - like a big bumper! And if you aren't too squeamish about things that sporty doggies learn to do (they chase down fowl), You can click here to see what Avalon learned about. (I don't have a clue as to where she thought she was going, though...)
Just wanted to hang and swim, eat a little (LOT) and chase my kong. Hope you had a great 4th! We want to thank Debbie and Nelson a bazillion times for inviting us to spend such a peaceful day at Jones Lake, as well as Sue and Shanti - we had a ball!
