A Perfect Lake Tahoe Hike

After all the fun yesterday, we drove southward around Lake Tahoe towards Emerald Bay.

Little did I know what a pupalicious day I was headed for. Mom and Dad took me on a hike up to Eagle Lake - a tarn (glacial lake) surrounded by the Sierra's Tahoe peaks.

C'mon - hurry up - this is gonna be great!

Whatcha waiting for? Hurry - I can smell all kinds of fun up there!

I think we should go this way - I always follow my nose.

Dad and Mom said I was a great trailblazer.

Go carefully here folks - it's a bit rocky.

Dang! Almost got that wily lizard - they are fa-aaast.

Here we are at about the half-way point with Emerald Bay below us, surrounded by Lake Tahoe.

Could that possibly be a marmot? I think it is - ooooh - be right back.

As we come around a corner and hike over the last crest, Eagle Lake lays before us. Isn't it magnificent? Click to watch a short vid of my enthusiastic arrival here!

Okay Dad, whenever you're ready to throw that stick, I'll oblige.

Met a new pal - I think his name was Jack - I hope his peeps don't find this bloggie and see that I forgot his proper title - big oops. But... I had lots of fun swimming with him, trying to play keep-a-way with the stick.

After he left, I swam for hours in this cool, pretty lake, chasing a stick. Stick-chasing may be a first for me!

Here's another first - I don't ever recall swimming with my dad!

Check out the majesty of this place.

But all great things seem to come to an end, so I took up my place as trailblazer again.

Happy and a bit tired as I pose with Dad - what spectacular scenery.

Well, I got them up and down safely, so I celebrate this bridge crossing towards the jeep with paws on railing, so I can see the pretty waterfall below. Thanks for coming along on my journey with me to Eagle Lake. Mom promises that she'll catch up on bloggies this week. I know she's been wretchedly behind.

Ahhhhh Tahoe - Day One

Benefit for Humane Society Truckee-Tahoe & Squaw Rescue Dogs

Checkin' things out - wow, I love this place!

View from the village - Squaw, that is!

They had a "splash dogs"- sort of - a lake dive off a really weird platform. Most of us doggers wanted to take a detour hehee!

Here's a new pal I met named Jackson.

And we met Sierra Rose later, along with some other doggies. Goldens are really rare up here hahahahahah!

And as I mentioned, the Purple Hatter (see - and grab his button on left sidebar) has certainly been busy. After being gifted for the above award from Corcorue and Riley & Star, I had to go and see the award creator man's blog. So I visited and left a simple comment about all the activities going on there. Without even asking - POOF! I found a comment on a post that the Purple Hatter had made ME not one - but two awards! I love them both!!!! Thank you Mr. Hatter, oh lover of purple for these generous gifts - they are just amazing!

Love the kong in the picture below and adore the flower photo in the above award!

PLEASE feel free to take either or both of these awards - I feel so blessed to have such wonderful blogger friends. Hugs to you all xo
