Dog Walks.....

We all get itchy for this time of year--when spring is coming and the sunshine is out...the dogs included.
Usually in the spring, summer ,and fall we take the dogs out to the lakes near our house. I like to go to Soap Lake ..Rob hates Soap lake ..so much so he doesn't even want his dog swimming in that water..but it is such a big area and only a 5 minute drive.
So we thought we would go out today and hopefully the lake would be thawed enough for BRodie to get in...he is such a water dog..you can't barely keep him out of it..even if we pass by there he will whine because he wants to go in.
SO today was Gracie's first time going into the water..she is BRodie's little shadow much to his dismay. SHe wants to do everything that he does...but she could not keep up with him and a few times she fell in after losing her footing. The last time her whole body fell in and her head went under water--she decided she was done for the day.
SO we were also incorporating a little lesson with out fun haveing Jeri teach her to walk and obey simple commands.
I am itching to get out and experience some nice weather and sunshine and spend quality time with the family in the evening walking and talking.
