Sierra's Scoop

Sometimes, I think flowers were made for pups. Why? Because they are at our eye level. And only our extraordinary noses can truly smell nature's beautiful fragrance. We saw lots of pretty flowers on our hike at Lake Chabot. We thought the colors of these flowers were unreal. Don't you think so?
These purple flowers made us think of Khyra.

Here are the friends...

we saw during our hike. This Sheltie was super friendly.

Daddy got really close to this snake. He was pretty long. Mommy really doesn't like snakes so she stayed back until he crossed the path.

Mommy just loved this butterfly that landed right next to us. We saw a white butterfly too but he flew away before we could get a picture.
If you biggify this piucture you can see Mr. Blue Jay.
And last but not least, we saw this family of ducks. We all thought they were really, really cute.

Today we...

went for a hike around Lake Chabot with my BFF, Milo and his pawrents. Here we all are, leading the way.

Of course our pawrents had to stop and read all the interesting facts about the Lake even though we've been here a hundred times before.
Mommy is pretty good about knowing when I need water. But sometimes she would get lost in conversation with Milo's Mommy so I would stop, lick my chops and let her know that I was a thirsty Bear!
Look at this HUGE Eucalyptus tree we saw today. Mommy said we almost look like ants next to it.
We hiked over six miles today. This is how Sierra looked at the end. The look on her face says it all. She is ready to go home!
And then, just as we were leaving the Lake, a squirrel ran out in front of us and went behind this bridge. Why, oh why, do they have to be so fast?!
We were gone longer than we expected so that meant dinner on the road. Sierra and I didn't mind one bit! Grilled chicken breast and artisan french bread? We'll take it!
