A Bon Tempe Day!

Oh how I love hikes and this one was not a disappointment... well... except for the leash laws around here...

Momzers and Dadzers didn't really take those rules into account until some peoples told us that rangers here are very strict about attaching us to hoomans. If we're not compliant, my pawrents might have to pay upwards of a $300.00 fine - coughcough.

So we were pretty secretive in some areas and I had some super pawesome swims and got to leer at some pawesome, humongous birdies. Can't seem to embed this show, but here's the linky!

Maybe some girl or boy scouts built this cool fort.

A bootiful blue heron in the late afternoon. What a gorgeous day!

Wow what a wonderful hike and beautiful place for swims and sniffing the peemail. Glad you were secretive and were able to have some fun without the leash. We have those laws too. We try to go some places where we can run and swim free. Wish we could have joined you.

Pawsome hike Sammie! (Even if you had to be sneaky:) Have a GREat weekend!

YD, sometimes with ♥June and ♥Angel Samantha said...

Beautiful place Sammie!
Ya about the leash law, mom and dad doesn't really follow that either. It really depends, if there are people around, then I(Samantha) will have to be on the leash. June is always on the leash. But they kinda got in trouble the last time we went camping because I was not on the leash and the ranger saw me and she warned mom and dad about it.

Looks like you had a great time, Sammie. So pretty there. We have woods behind our house where we can go off leash, but Mommy is careful because Daisy tries to run herself dead sometimes.

Another beautiful place you got to go for a hike - you look so beautiful in the first pic. We really enjoy your Roxio shows. Mom had a Roxio photosuite program on her old laptop but it would never work right. You make such beautiful slide shows with yours.

Woos and happy weekend, the OP Pack

Great day. Ranger tickets here are $250, but since we are Siberians, we never get off leash anyway.

Lorenza said...

What a most pawsome day!!!
Leash laws - hmm. I think us doggies and peeps should take a test to see if we qualify for off leash play. Like if we play well and come when called, why can't we be free?
