I'm easy...

One day I'm the King and the next day I'm looking ridiculous with this life preserver around my neck and I have no balls! An agonizing decision on the pros and cons of neutering Remo. He went into surgery last Friday and is doing well. He'll be on R&R for another week, before he's back in action.

Beauty of the Vizsla

The athleticism of a Vizsla is an amazing thing to watch...they make it look so easy. It's really beautiful to watch them running through the fields. Today, we flushed out a couple jack rabbits...boy was that fun!

Hiking with some Friends

Today, I did a hike with some friends. We started over by the Mill Valley golf course and did a big loop that took us to Huckleberry, Crown Road, Blithedale Ridge, and around. It was a beautiful day and pretty quiet on the trails. The weather predicted a cold front and breezy, but I think they made a mistake.

Here's a picture of one of the great views of Mt. Tam.

A Morning in the Wetlands

I try to get over to the Corte Madera wetlands every week...that's the name I gave this area. The trailhead is right across the street from Macy's. I think this is their favorite place to go, but be prepared to have a mucky dog when you are finished with your adventure. Last week, Remo disgusted too much salt water, so bring plenty of fresh water with you. This is a wide open space, with a trail around the perimeter and small trails that meander through the grass and marsh fields. I just like to explore, so we spend a couple hours out there. Today, they found plenty of jack rabbits to chase. So much fun, I don't think they were ready to leave.

Time with Boon

Turbie and Remo love to spend time with Boon. Whenever he comes over to our house they both greet him with lots of licks and snuggles. Remo has to follow him everywhere. Turbie and Boon have a moment together in this picture...I think Remo already retired to the bedroom.

Off Leash Ticket

I received a courtesy notice for my off leash arrest on Ring Mountain. The bail due amount is $173.00...OUCH. That really seems a little steep to me. Did I mention no one was out there on the trail, except for me, Turbie, Remo, and the ranger! Did I also mention my dogs are under voice command! Did I also mention the dogs were standing 1 foot away from me when I got stopped by the ranger and the dog leashes were around my neck. I definitely need to be more careful when I'm out there poaching trails.

Vizslas Only

On Sunday, there's a Vizsla walk at Pt. Pinole. I've done this walk a few times and it's a great time for everyone. We are usually out there for a few hours running the dogs along the trails and through the woods, and we always make a stop for some swim time in the bay. The "trail leader" Kay always gives each dog a well deserved biscuit at the end of the walk. I really enjoy this day, because it's a wonderful way to socialize your dogs with other dogs.

Here's a few photos from todays outing. cm.
