Awards, walks & Geese

It seems that mom has been way to busy with the start of the school year to lend a hand to me with the blog. *sigh* It is sure tough to be a hound, with paws too big to type by myself!

I was very happy to learn that my little blog had been awarded the "Gold Hydrant" award by the fine folks at Life With Dogs. I'm honored! And especially since my fellow bloodhound bloggers Gus and Marmalade were also granted the same award this week. Three hounds all getting an award - that must be some sort of record.

We made a departure from the regularly scheduled walk route awhile ago, and all piled into the vehicle and drove to a nearby park to walk. Yes, I know, that does sound a bit crazy...drive somewhere to walk, but the change of scenery was rather fun.



Here, I check out the landscapeing - please note the darker drool smear to the right of my paw. Just wanted to leave my own little bit of decoration there.



I'd say Ladybug Lake is more a pond, but I suppose Ladybug Pond just didn't have the nice alliteration going for it.




There were lots of great smells emanating from those weeds down there, but I was not allowed to go and check it out. I guess mom was thinking that she really didn't want to go for a swim that morning.



This last picture doesn't involve me, but mom remembers Gus talking about moose. Well, we don't have moose, but we do have goose - I mean, geese. Mom took this picture early one morning at school.

That's about all from here for now, I hope everyone is enjoying these late summer/early fall days. Pretty soon there will be leaves to play in and cooler days for lots more sniffing and towing!
