Fishing, Scenery, Poodles

Yes! We finally went fishing last Friday. We took all of the poodles so they could have playtime and then settled everyone while Dianne and I fished. We went to the State Park off Rt. 9 toward Bennington, VT. The dogs must have thought they died and went to Heaven! LOL





























As the sun began to set the black flies were profuse but the lighting was pretty. We rolled up our pant legs and walked out up to our knees and cast into the sky and forest reflecting into the water. Dianne caught seven brookies and I caught five. We split them evenly for a couple of meals each and, boy, were they delicious!!







My little Taffy decided that fish is GOOD! She was eating the heads and innards as each was caught and cleaned. Then Dianne threatened me about her vomiting it all up on the way home. Darn, never thought about that... She was so excited about fish that when Dianne let one go that was smaller than she wanted to keep, Taffy jumped right into the pond and caught it! LOL It was a little too strong for her to hang on to it and managed to get back out to water.










Well, Taffy didn't get sick on the way home but I sure was sorry the next morning when I opened the door to the garage and could smell the results from the door. Needles to say, her crate had to be completely cleaned. She didn't get sick but she did have diarrhea and you can bet I won't be doing that again.










Mommy, I'm sorry.

A Day Out With The Dogs

It was going to be a nice day so they said. (who are 'they' anyway?) Well, Dianne and I had already left home to pick up a couple of things and then take the dogs for an outing. So when it clouded up and threatened rain, we sucked it up and kept on going.

Fortunately, as we got everyone out of the car, the sprinkles stopped and we took a nice, leisurely walk half way around Bog Pond on Florida/Savoy Mt. The dogs were in their glory and Dianne and I had a lot of fun taking shots of them. There was chase games, and a little water play, and big discoveries such as Canada Geese, nice muddy spots that a large moose had walked through and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed running through.

Did I ever tell you how long it takes to groom one standard poodle? Pfffft! So we have a full day of cleaning our dogs up and grooming them back out again.

Billy fell in! LOL

Jester, NOT THE FIRE PIT!!










What's that crazy noise I hear?




















Oh, oh! A very angry Canada Goose!

















OMG! Taffy, whatever happened to you? LOL




















Saw this on our way and had to stop to get some pics.


















After our hike we took the dogs (and us too, of course) to Burger King for some much needed nourishment and drink. The dogs just love chicken tenders. Then it was time for all our fur balls to pass out in the back seat.

And, yes, a good time was had by all...
