I was looking at your pictures again. They are great. That water falls would have been so tempting to just sit in and get drench with the heat this weekend.
The one picture of the dog sleeping is a keeper!
When we got our white lab, (my old dog) We decided to actually have a trained dog for a change instead of a dog that just picked up what we told it and tried to teach it. We went to
petsmart and enrolled in their dog classes. When we would start the evening we were suppose to socialize our dogs and make them comfy being there. We would do that, then calm them down to learn.
Reagan came over to my lap and laid on it ( I was sitting on the floor so she was more on my legs than lap. I started rubbing her belly, She will do anything for a belly rub. She rolled over like your dog is, and almost fell asleep as I rubbed her belly with all 4 feet in the air. The "instructor", a young gal of about 18, got mad at me and really chewed me out because "Dogs don't like to lay on their backs"....
It is a phrase my wife and I use all the time now, because our dogs seem to love laying on their backs. No matter how many times we tell the dogs " Dogs don't like laying on their backs" they still do..
Well, I have to actually get some work done in this nicer weather. I need to run to Elk River and get 10 more bags of grower for my CX's. They are going through so much everyday, even with my with holding all they want. They are so healthy and fun right now. If I have them free ranging and I walk any wheres towards my shed near them they all come running and flying! One of them must have flown 40 ft about 3 ft up it was so funny! I know most of you do not think very highly of CX's, but dang I love them. They are the sweetest birds. Too bad it is so hard to keep them alive for any length of time.
I am going to keep 3 hens and 2 roosters over winter, continuing to limit their feed and try and get eggs for hatching next spring.
I am going to try and video the birds being released this morning too, so I can post a picture of Bert Jr and Bertha being released, (my toads) they are so funny when they run.
