Well..... I had a fun day today.... Yep! Mom took me to the "mou mou" (see above) and guess who showed up???? The FLF!!!!!!!!! THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!! ('cept nana and grampa who are jetsetting around the country). Well we started out hiking from the parking lot.... Mom let me go off leash so that I could "do my job" (herd everyone into a tight little group) I ran to the front of the group (young & healthy Daddy and Aaron) ... circled round back to the tail end of the group (fat old mom walking slow with the kindly Okapus and Rooz.. keeping her company). We "hiked" for what seemed like days (going at a snails pace) till we got to the "falls". They finally decided to let Baby Charlie go off leash too... and MAN! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! Everpeeps were throwing stickys for us... Baby Charlie and me were taking turns.... fetching the stickys.... some of them were in the really deep water too!! We weren't afraid!!! We just kept on fetching!!! SO FUN!!! The lil'ler doggers had FUN too!!! Beatrix got to swim a few laps...(she's a very good swimmer... practaces all summer in her FLF backyard pool) and also performed some seriously grody cannonballs...I gotta admit... she's got grrrrrrrr8 form! (wink) and Johnny Thunder, Cinnamon and Honey Beyah stayed purdy dry... but they were in charge of "guarding" the group of peeps (like only Miniature Poodles know how too)... They scared off quite a few "shifty looking characters" who were hiking the trecherous "mou mou" trails.... By and by we had to leave (regretfully) ... for some strange reason the peeps were soaked to their skins (?).... and shivering... so we headed back to the cars. On the journey back to our cars I got to teach Baby Charlie a lil bit of my herding techniques.... I did need help as the group got quite straggly what with ol mom shivering in her soaking wet pants, and the other peeps tolerating her constant complaints and whining... Uneventfully we forded the stream and headed for the cars, where the trail was surrounded with beeeeeooooootteeeeefoooo yellow flowers... sniff sniff sniff... it don't get much better then this!
