Tasha and Raven go hiking (bunch of pics)

I finally got myself to go out to Quarry Park and Nature Preserve today. I hadn't gone this year because there are so many memories involved there, but I needed to get out with Tash a bit since she can't go to the dog park (she might do ok there, but I'm not sure and don't want to risk it). So I took Tash and Raven today. It was very muggy but they had a good time. Here are the pics!

And that's all, thanks for letting me share with you.

Wonderful pictures! I love Tasha's expression in the first :D

Wow, what a beautiful place to go for a hike! The girls look like they had a lot of fun. They are both beautiful. I love how Raven's tail curls. :)

Those girls had a blast!! What a couple of gorgeous chicks they are too. That scenery is so pretty. It looks like a place I would love to spend time. Peaceful and serene. Great pictures, Jess. Please give those girls some kisses from me and, of course, some for that handsome Tommy Boy too!! :)

Good to see pretty Tasha! It looks like a very peaceful place to take the pups. I'm sure you all enjoyed it. :)

awww there are my two favorite girls! Nice to see them both out having some fun. Those are some really neat pictures, thanks for sharing.

Jess I'm very glad to see that you got yourself to go out there with the girls. It really looks like they had a good time, I hope you did as well.
Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful pictures with us.

Gorgeous photos Jess. I'm glad you and the girls had a good time. :)

that's great Jess! :D

I'm so glad you got out with your girls!
:)

First, I envy you because of that gorgeous park. Second, I'm envying how well Raven has mastered the art of swimming. Ivy has yet to catch on *sighs*

Beautiful pictures, but that's an understatement :)

Wow! It looks beautiful there! I bet you and the girls had a great time.

Is Raven taller than Tash now? :eek:

Beautiful pictures!!! That place is just beautiful, wish i could hang out there...lol I love seeing pics of the your girls.

Looks like your girls had a great time! It's so nice to see some new Tasha pictures. What a pretty girl she is. So gentle looking. :)

Yep, she's a bit taller and a bit longer in body than Tash now :)

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments everyone. It is a beautiful place. It was rather muggy but I enjoyed watching the girls have fun.

Wow! What a beautiful place!
Thanks for making me feel like I was there too!

Ah Girl's Day Out. :) Great pictures! I love the fouth picture, Tasha reminds me of a wildcat in that. And the pictures of Raven swimming made me feel much cooler on this hot day. That swim really does look refreshing. I loved seeing your girls, and I am glad that you all got to go for that special walk today. Time to start making some new memories.

Great pics!

Can I just ask why you leave their leads on??

There are a few reasons actually. Partly because depending where I'm at in the park I pick up their leads and leash walk them, and other parts let them loose a bit. There are bike trails that we cross and I like to have them in hand when we go down any of those. Also if I see someone coming with another dog etc I like to be able to call them to me quick and pick up the leashes as you never know if there could be a problem. I just like having the option to get them in hand more quickly if I need to. I generally leash walk them to the more remote trails and then let them free a bit. :)

They look beautiful Jess. It's amazing that after everything Raven went through she seems/acts like nothing happened. I wonder what Nancy would say if Raven was ever read by her? Does she know what happened? Just a thought I had there, sorry to get off track.

Wonderful pics of your two lovely ladies. Hugs for them and handsome Tommy too. :)

That goes for me, too! :)

Jess what great photos. That park looks beautiful and relaxing, i hope you had a nice time. Thanks for sharing your pretty girls with us :).

Do I even have to say how gorgeous they both are? I LOVE the third pic of Raven swimming. But both of them are equally gorgoeus.
