He did it! Well, sort of. Thistle still won’t dive off the dock, but he will dive off the float, with style!  What a Good Thistly-Dude.

Here’s a picture from China Creek Beach in Bandon from the other day.  Can you guess which dog is in the photo?  🙂

We do a lot of hiking around here, though it has become quite a bit more dangerous this year with the boys since they run full blast wherever they go.  We have learned to listen for the sound of a thundering herd approaching, so we can step quickly to the side to avoid being crashed into.   Hopefully this is just the over-exuberance of youth and they’ll tone it down in the future!

I was very happy to catch this shot when I emerged from part of the trail.  Yep, I was the last one and everyone was waiting.

I love my sweet smiley brown girl, Sporty, who has been setting a great example for the boys this trip.

One thing about the trip this year that I could do without- the BUGS! I’m not sure what’s different this year, but we (particularly me) have been eaten alive by no-see-ums and mosquitos.  Itchy, itchy, itchy.   Maybe if I eat more bacon it will act as a natural bug repellent.  😉

  1. hmmm, i doubt that bacon eating will do it, sorry.
    So glad Thistle learned he could jump off the float!
    What a wonderful trip it’s been this year. Jealous, of course.
