A walk in the park after a rainstorm

Lorina · 08-08-2007, 10:02 AM

It's been ridiculously hot and dry lately. This morning, it's still cloudy from last nights rain showers and thunderstorms, it's not too hot yet, and the grass is still wet. Good time to go for a walk.

On the top of the hill that descends into the park...

I can usually get the best expressions out of him by saying things like "Where's the bunny?" or "Where's the kitty?" or "Where's Gracie?" (his kitty-sister).

"There's mud EVERYWHERE! This is GREAT!"

More puddles and mud.

More to come...

They might need to use a little Weed-B-Gone on the basketball court.

Welcome to the jungle...

I'm still in love with the white birch trees along our trail.

A funny expression a nanosecond before a yawn.

More to come...

The creek was completely dry yesterday. Guess we got a lot of rain last night.

One more batch...

"I've got a very fuzzy bottom."

I have pictures of him with these trees in winter, spring and summer now. Not that I'm anxious for summer to end, but I am looking forward to how gorgeous the autumn pictures will be.

"Perhaps we can go this way now?"

"Any bunnies in there?"

And then we hoofed it back up the hill and went home.

How fun! What a nice area to be able to take a walk in!

Loooks like Beavis had a good time on his walk. I love all the silly expressions

I love Beavis's "fuzzy bottom".

LoveLilly · 08-08-2007, 12:34 PM

What a great place to walk! I just love when Beavis narrates for us!

The funny thing is, I lived here nine years without even knowing the park and little hiking trail was only two blocks behind my house.

I've "discovered" much more of my neighborhood since getting a dog.

Unfortunately, since we go to the park daily, and it's usually empty, and it's so close to the house, Beavis thinks it's an extension of his yard, and gets highly insulted if dogs or people he doesn't approve of are using his park. An entire soccer team practicing? Not a problem. A little league game? That's fine. But one lone jogger? Does not belong in Beavis' park.

Awesome pics!

I wish I took the camera with us today on our walk. Someone left a soccer ball in the field in the park. Beavis LOOOOOOOVES soccer balls. He's a regular David Beckham, only even cuter.

But it rained again today, and the field was all mud. And well... here's the aftermath.

Amazingly, Beavis did not need a bath after his soccer games. It was too late to bath him at night (after our 2nd game

).

The next morning, his chest & belly were back to normal, back to white again. Dirt just falls off him.

This is after our first go round with the soccer ball, but before the second.

Beavis looks so regal! I have absolutely no trouble seeing why Pekes have been so revered for so long in China.

Wow, Green grass. Something I have not seen in awhile. We are having super dry weather. Actually it did rain some last night, but not enough to come even close to catching up. The grass is brown and crunchy. Your pictures are really cool. Beavis looks like he is having a very good time. It must be funny to look at the world from such a low angle.

Everywhere here has green grass even though we haven't had rain in about a month. But I guess thats because everyone has been watering their lawns more often.
