We've been hiking, walking, running playing, splashing and swimming!

Let me start with - Tyson is a crazy swimmer!  He just did it on his own out in the ocean and now we can't stop him - that pup loves swimming and chasing everything you throw to him! I swear he is a lab disguised in an english mastiff body.

 Me?  Oh no the Tucker doesn't swim.  I loves splashing and sticking my face under, but my bum is not getting wet. 

 We've been spending some evenings at the pond.

 I took Tyson for his first hike! I was an old pro even wif my arthritis.  We just do hikes that are shorter (like a mile or so) and not as demanding on my knees.  The next day I just rest and I don't even limp.  I carry the bowl and the poop bags in my backpack.

Tyson carries our water. He is a really strong boy now.

I've also taken Tyson on my favorite walkies and some new ones.  Can you see my rainbow I found on this walk?

 We've not been around much but we are both doing well.  The hoomans are spending lots of time wif us outside now that the weather is finally good.  We plan to have a very active summer!

A hike and my new work in progress vest

This past weekend I gots to go on my first hike since my knee ouchies back in November.  Momma and Dad wanted to make sure we waited for my cruicate to heal as much as possible.  Basically because the Tucker has two speeds: zero & 100.  I spend most my time at 0, but my hikes are at 100.

We climbed a smaller mountain with very few jumps and steep spots....

Still a nice hike that lasted about 45 min, I was tired afterwards but happy to say that I don't appear sore or limpy at all!  Yippee for healed knees!

Oh and do you likes my new vest?  It is to keep the PUParazzi away.  I gets too much attention and I am working on trusting strangers again (the quick back story is some dude hit me on my face and scared the crap out of me  almost 2 years ago.  I is sometimes scared when men approach me quickly and  I bark and jump at them if they do it).  Momma and Dad get stressy having to watch everything around me so closely all the time, this makes our lives a lot easier!   If you would like more info you can go to http://www.pawsitivedog.com/DogInTrainingVest.html

Beachy Walks and Honoring Ellie

I wents to the beach this weekend, twice!  It's one of the few places I can be off leash this time of year, giving me a chance to run.  My knee is doing so far so good, so Mr. Vet is happy and wants me to keep working out and hopes I've healed enough.

 There was a little ice, so I be careful.

 I did run in the water, but then I realized it was freakin cold!

 So I stayed further away from the water from then on.

 Hoomans keep up, geesh they are slow.

And this week we received our painting in honor of kitteh sister Ellie from Kitty & Coco's Momma.  We are absolutely thrilled with how it came out and we are just amazed at the quality and how every detail was captured.

We miss you Ellie, and we thank you Lauren for your lovely work.  Please check out Lauren's etsy shop.

Windy Wordless Wednesday

Recap of my Birthday Adventure

On my birthday my hoomans took me on an adventure.  We drove up the big mountain in our National Park.  

 Cadillac Mountain is 1532 feet high and it is the first place to see the sun rise in the US.

 I sniffed the whole way up the winding road.

 We still have some color left in our trees..... 

 And then we arrived to the top!

 The air was nice and fresh, too bad it wasn't that sunny out though.

 And it was kind of cold and windy.  It was maybe 30 degrees out. My nose may have been running a little.

 And I may have picked it... BOL.

 We said goodbye to the views and headed back down the mountain.

 Then we drove over to the Trails for a walkie.

 I had to stay on leash in the national park but I still got to explore plenty.

 There was a nice stream to get a fresh drink in.

 Also, there are some pretty nice stone bridges to walk over.

 I had a great adventure on my birthday.

Beach Walkies

Last weekend on the way back from the cottage we went to a beach.  The beaches are vacant now as nobody in their right mind would go swimming in the water when it's about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.  So I gets to go an be off leash.  

 The sun was shining nicely.

 There was plenty of space for me to run.

 And trails for me to create in the sand.

 Come on humans, keep up.

 Sometime...people... I'll wait for you.

 That's better.....

 The tide was on it's way out.

 So I made sure to do some modeling...

 Modeling gets kind of boring.

 But, after you are done you get to run on the beach again!
