Swiss Lick Swissies

Ah, the country life

Monday, September 21st, 2009 | Dogs

We had some lucky dogs this weekend. We hauled out to Galena, Illinois again for a nice weekend away from the hectic life at home. (And our floors were getting redone.) For them, this means pouncing on us while we’re trying to sleep, playing with each other in fields where Indy can get up a good head of steam, hiking, and trying to get the horses to play.

OK, enough talk. Time for pictures.

Gryffin lounging after breakfast on the screened porch. (Definitely a favorite place for the humans.)

Come on, hurry up!

Rolling rolling rolling…

What? I like rolling.

Relaxing? Or waiting to pounce?

Waiting to pounce. On me.

Beowulf is getting a bit old for this, but he still enjoys the hikes. Assuming we let him go super slow.

Gratuitous rear shot of the husband.

We learned on our last trip out that Indy loves the 4 wheeler.

Grandpa did not and was quite amused when she started chasing him.

We tried to get them a little more worn out before we left on Sunday.

Then we remembered how much time the horses spend there, so there’s lots of horse poop. It’s either good eating, or good to roll in, depending on which dog we’re talking about.

For Beowulf, it’s good to roll in. Or smear your face in.

One last shot. Not the dogs, though. It’s the Mississippi River.

I hope everyone had a good weekend!
