Hiking and a Play Date

This past week and a half I've been puppy-sitting Sugar. She is such a nice puppy and super sweet. I was bored one day and decided to take both the girls on a nice hike. They did really well together and walking on a loose leash. Picassa pulled a little because she likes to be in front but after the first half she was doing much better.


[Picassa and Sugar walking side by side] We went up to my favorite waterfall and it was hot (around 110 degrees) I didn't intend to go up to the falls because it was hot but I realized that Picassa hasn't been up there yet so we went all the way up. Here are the pictures from that.

[Picassa smiling with the waterfall behind her.] I didn't plan well and totally forgot to bring water so I let Sugar and Picassa drink the falls water for a second, they were both dying.

[Picassa lapping up water from the falls.] [A view of Picassa from above and you can see all the way down the second half of the waterfall.] [Picassa with green mountains behind her.] [Picassa and Sugar laying down on a flat rock with the water fall behind them.] [Sugars head with the water behind her.]

Yesterday Picassa, Sugar and Kyle had a play date. I went and picked up Kyle and let him run around with the girls for quite a while. I was amazed with how well they all played together. Here are some pictures from that.

[Picassa in the lead looking back with Kyle and Sugar colliding behind her. I love that Sugars tail is wrapped around Kyles back.]

[Picassa and Kyle ram into each other while Sugar bounces to the side of them.]

[Picassa with her arm wrapped around Kyles head. Her tactic is bouncing, it's really funny to watch her run around.]

[Three way collision, each dog ran from a different direction until they all met in the middle.]

[The younger dogs (Kyle and Sugar) racing toward the older dog (Picassa) who looks a little terrified]

[SNEAK ATTACK! Picassa took a rest in the grass when Kyle came up slowly behind her and grabbed her by the ear.]

[It didn't take long for him to flip her over. It was pretty funny to watch him.]

[Running around again. Picassa in the front with Kyle next and Sugar bringing up the rear.]

[Sugar leading with Picassa next and Kyle last.]

AND, I've been working on an outfit for Kyle to wear at Fun Day. I finished it yesterday and I think it's pretty darn cute. So here are a couple pictures of that.

[Side view of Kyle in a "saddle" that I made. It's a fake leather jacket (like the old GDB style ones) with stirrups hanging down with western print sewn on them. A Woody (from Toy Story) doll is sitting in the saddle and on the back edge of the saddle is says KYLE.) I'm pretty ridiculously proud of it, I am so not crafty!

[A top view of the saddle. Where Woody sits is a horseshoe shape sewn on and you can see Kyles name better.] So if your at Fun Day in California keep an eye out for me and Kyle. (Who probably won't wear it the whole time cuz I don't want him getting hot, but he'll wear it for a while.
