Playing in the green stuff....picture heavy..

[Glacier]

It's rained since Saturday night, but before the rain started the dogs got in some quality play time in the bush--lots of green stuff to run in!

Hmm, something very interesting was here before us! Based on where we were, I'd say it was a coyote or a bear, although I didn't see any bear tracks on that trip!

Tehya running as fast as she can--I used the "I MEAN IT" voice and she was in grave danger of going on a leash if she didn't move her little butt!

Daisy almost getting swept away by Wolf Creek. She likes to lay in the water and hook her front paws on rocks and just float in the current. The creek is a little too high for that right now. She actually scared me a bit. I was just putting down my stuff to go in after her when she regained her footing. I wondered all the way home if her actual owner would have gone in the creek for her!

There's no danger of Pacer getting swept away. He went to the lake with me and this is the deepest he's ever gone in! He hates getting those white paws wet!

Last one, Paxil and Anvik racing through the trees, headed for home!

WOW!

Another Great Dawg Walk and Photo Adventure in the Yukon!!
:D

:cool:, Miz Tamara!!
THANKS for taking us along!

;)

[ramanth]

I loved that last photo. :D What a great adventure! :D

[captain]

Oh my - Paxil in the wild roses - what a beautiful picture.

Thanks for sharing Tamara ... :)

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Great pictures! You live in such a beautiful area. :)

[CathyBogart]

Your pictures are lovely, as always! Thanks for sharing!

[cyber-sibes]

I love when "we" take walks together! Thanks for posting such nice photos, Tamara.

I wonder about Daisy's owner too....hmmm....probably best if you (and Daisy) never need to find out if he'd go in after her or not. Daisy's lucky to have you looking out for her!

[pitc9]

Daisy is lucky to have a Guardian like you watching over her all the time!

[finn's mom]

You are certainly Daisy's guardian angel, no wonder she hangs out with you and your pack so often! She knows she's safe! Pacer is funny, those ears, hahaha. He doesn't even look happy that his feet are getting wet! Silly puppy!

[Ginger's Mom]

Aw, what a fun day. Ginger thinks we should show Les (parnone) the coyote sniffing shot, because she says Earle has a really cute fluffy butt. And I think Pacer is oh so handsome.


I wondered all the way home if her actual owner would have gone in the creek for her!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I was reading your narrative. *sigh* Doubt it.

[cassiesmom]

Oh, everybody, I'm glad you had a grand time outside! Looks like it was a beautiful summer day.


Miz Tamara!! THANKS for taking us along!

Me, too!

[nancyweNW]

Those are great pictures and some very happy puppies! I can't even imagine why someone wouldn't try to rescue their dog.

[BC_MoM]

Wonderful photos. I just love the one of Paxil in the wild roses, though! :)

[Glacier]

Pacer is funny, those ears, hahaha. He doesn't even look happy that his feet are getting wet! Silly puppy!

You should see him in the spring during the mud season! He looks miserable all the time. It's hard being solid white and a clean freak! :D

[Riptide]

LOL the picture of Pacer in the creek is just too cute! :D

[Glacier]

I can't even imagine why someone wouldn't try to rescue their dog.

First, welcome to PT! Since you are new, you don't know Daisy's story! I'm sure almost any PT poster would do whatever they could to save their dogs. Daisy doesn't have that kind of owner! She isn't abused, not yelled at or hit. She gets decent food and is allowed to sleep in the house. But her owner has no clue that she needs anything more than that. Daisy found a way to meet her other needs on her own--she comes here!

He refuses to build her a fence(which in Daisy's case may be a good thing as her life would be pretty miserable if she couldn't get over here). She lives about a mile from us through the forest, maybe not even that far on her shortcut path! She is here 90% of the time. She goes home only late at night or if her owners teenagers are around. She comes on every walk I take; she runs beside my dog team all winter; she hangs out in my yard several days a week; she's at my gate every morning; I feed her most nights, I keep her in my porch on the nights I think the wolves are around in the winter.

Basically, I just don't pay her vet bills! If she needs something medically, I call her owner and he takes care of it.
