My trio at the lake

**finn's mom** · 07-05-2006, 09:38 AM

I've had these photos on my camera for a couple weeks, but, we weren't able to get them onto the computer. Our computer has been fixed, though, so, I hope some of you enjoy these pictures. I haven't been chatty on Pet Talk because I have recently gone through some things that have made me realize I needed to cut back on my internet time. Great things, though, nothing bad at all!

I'm taking time today to share these, though!

First...Finn!

Dudley! He's funny looking wet!

Finn and Dudley...taking off after the stick...

That stick was hard to throw!

Bringing the stick back!

tug o' war!

chewing...

More to come...

Pretty Freckles...I think she looks happy here, David says she looks rabid!

Pretty dirty Freckles!

All three!!!

Freckles basically "supervises."

And, that's all! We took Dudley and Freckles to the lake this weekend when David's nephew visited. Dudley retrieved sticks on his own, it was so funny! I don't think I'd ever seen a retrieving schnauzer.

Hope someone enjoys these! They're not great, photographically, but, they're fun! Hope everyone had a great Independence Day!

Happy 4th to you too Kari!! Great pictures!! I just love Finn, as well as Dudley and Freckles!! Looks like everyone had a blast!

Fun pictures is right.

I enjoyed watching them all play.

What do you mean you have found other things to do with your time rather than be on Pet Talk? I am kidding, Kari, that was a joke. I am glad you are finding more interesting and rewarding ways to spend your time in Texas. but I am also glad that you can still find the time to share the kids with us.

Well, it's kind of a long story, but, let's just say I went through (and am still going through) some self-improvement/help/discovery training, and, am just trying to manage my time better. Staying online for hours getting nothing done at all is a bad, bad habit. It is one of my biggest downfalls, so, I'm working on it. Today, I slacked off some, but, I'm trying not to make it an every day thing.

This is too funny, Freckles and Dudley are howling like crazy because they heard a siren outside! Finn looks totally confused! How funny!

Looks like they had a blast! It looks like they are getting along a lot better. Thats great!

Looks like a fun day! Dudley looks too cute swimming and retrieving with Finn. Freckles is doing what Tash would have been doing

. Looks like a lot of fun Kari, love the pics!

It looks like they had a blast!

we're taking Rocky to the lake this weekend weather permitting and I will get pictures if we go.

**BCollie_Kelly** · 07-05-2006, 02:15 PM

Great pictures! That looks like a nice place to go to play and have fun!

**abbersmom** · 07-05-2006, 06:22 PM

**Giselle** · 07-05-2006, 06:34 PM

Fantastic pictures! Makes me want to go out to the beach myself

Glad to see you active again!!!

It looks like all 3 have settled in nicely with each other. I liked the pics, shows how happy everyone is.

Thanks for the replies, guys! They had a lot of fun, they always do at the lake. WE always do, too!

It's a great, quiet lake, and, it's awesome to be able to just let the dogs do their thing, and, there's no one around to be disturbed by them at all. It's fantastic!

I can't believe I missed this thread. GREAT pics!! as always Kari and I'm glad to see you back. We missed seeing your posts and pics of Finn. He is the most handsome Lab on the face of the earth. How are the dogs getting along?
