WOW! What a walk in the woods today!

Holy CowDog!  I just gotta report on my walk in the woods today!  Mom decided to take me on a new woods trail – well, not new but been over a year since I have been on it.  I was sooo excited right from the start…which made Mom leave me on my flexi leash, “just to be sure” I would be a good girl and not run off!  Me?  Run off?  Nawwwww…never! 😉

Just a little bit into our walk and what do I see but a really BIG bird with some babies!!!  It was a Turkey!  Turkey’s are new to this area just the past year or so and that was my first encounter!  Holy CowDog, I wanted to chase that big ole’ bird…but darnit, I was tied…

Shortly after that, Mom let me loose – she was tired to trying to keep up with my Tripawd Trot!  There are good things that have come about being a Tripawd and one of them is I get to be loose a whole lot more on our walks now!  Yeehaw!!!!

So we’re bee-bopping along having a great walk, I stop and gnaw on some fresh new grass, take in the smells…do a little hillwork and then we take a little break before turning around to go back.  The crappy part of being a Tripawd, or at least for me, is my walks aren’t very long anymore….but that’s OK,  I guess I’m OK with it…especially on today’s walk!

So, we start heading back from the same direction we had begun…my Mom is getting a little paranoid cause she can’t see around the turn and she’s lookin’ at me like she thinks I’m lookin’ at something.  She moves to my side of the trail to see if she could see what I was lookin’ at…and just as she did, I BOLTED like lightning, I tell ya!  Yup!  I can FLY when I wanna!!!!  My Mom just caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a deer!!!  Yes, Mom, it was a deer!  I was in hot pursuit!!!!!!!!!!  Whoopie!  Yeehaw!  Been a long darn time since I’d chased a deer!  Shhhhhh!  Don’t tell the game wardens as they’d be after me!!!  But maybe they’d feel bad with me bein’ a Tripawd?

Oh don’t worry you Game Wardens, I didn’t catch that ole’ deer…in fact, as fast as I chased him, I came back to Mom not 5 seconds later….with the BIGGEST, HAPPIEST smile on my face!  Wahooooo!!!!  FUN!

Mom said there’s another good thing to being a Tripawd….I don’t  seem to venture too far off the beaten path now..well, geez, Mom…the woods was REALLY thick where that deer went…I lost sight of him…you know after I loose sight of a moving animal, I give up!  What’s the sense?  I’m not gonna chase an imaginary deer like my stupid little sister would! 😉

And the adventurous walk doesn’t end there!  So, by this time, you can imagine my Mom put me back on my flexi leash…dag nabbit…oh well, walk was almost done by then.  She makes me take a break for a bit, so I layed down and she told me what a foolish, foolish dog I was.  There was a day way back when, she would of gotten mad at me for doing that but for some reason now, it just makes her smile when I’m bad! 😉

We had just gotten done our break and started walking and NOW here comes a four wheeler!  Imagine that!  On a four wheeler trail!  haha!  But seriously, Mom never sees ANYTHING on her walks in the woods with little sister, Haley…rarely ever…and my walk tonight was VERY adventurous…I think it was planned all for me!   So we stepped aside for the four wheeler, they stopped to chat – I have no problem chatting…well, it’s called barking ’cause you are an intruder on my trail barking – but Mom stuffs treats in my face and I stop 🙂  Those people said they hadn’t seen a thing on their ride…my Mom told them all we’d seen.

When I got home I just boasting to little sister, Haley, what I’d done and seen!  Wahoo!  Yup, THIS Big Sister had a terrific walk tonight!  But phew, I was due for a break!  Here’s me taking a break after my eventful walk!
