This is me and my moms on our hike today. We went to Rock Island State Park and had a great time! We went with a bunch of other women and this curly tall dog Pennington who was running around off his rope and being a giant show off but I behaved myself and ignored him. I have a bad habit of taking off when I don't have my rope on, and my mom Rainy gets really upset so my days of exploring the countryside alone are kind of over. I love my mom! I don't want her to be upset. Here's a picture of her. She's real pretty.
So this morning, we woke up early and my moms had a big discussion about who was going to get to go on this trip today. First it was just going to be me, but then Max was looking pitiful so Mama Julie was pushing for him to get to go too (she's such a sucker!) and then Mom said Bruce was the one who was really going to suffer not getting to go out that door with something tied around his neck, but then 3 big dogs is a lot to have in the truck with that big bag of clothes from Closet Wars, so my moms decided I was going to get to go, which I knew they would, because I always get to do the hiking when only one of us gets to go. My mom and I go way back with the hiking. So we got ready to go, but then as soon as Bruce saw my rope he decided he was going to go somewhere whether anyone liked it or not and he darted out the front door and played hide and seek with the moms for 20 minutes. Bruce is kind of a dick.
Once we finally got Bruce back, we got to leave, and then we stopped 4 times for no reason before we really got to go. My moms do this when they hang around all the women. They talk a lot, and stand around a lot. That's how hiking was too, but we did get to hike a little bit and I had fun. I especially had fun when I got to ride in the truck bed on the gravel road, which I never, ever get to do! That was really something! My moms took turns riding back there with me and my mom was real nervous, but I was fine just like Mama Julie said I would be and it was FUN!! I want to do it again. I pointed out about 55 houses my moms could buy on the way home from hiking where there are cows and horses and birds that I can chase, and some places even had creeks my brothers and I can swim in. I don't think Isabel likes to swim, but she can swim too if she wants.
We saw one thing that really confused me. My mom said it was 2 baby bulls butting heads, but Mama Julie said it was a twin cow that was joined at the forehead and one head wanted to eat but the other one was on a diet. That doesn't sound very fun at all. I thought about why a baby cow would want to go on a diet for a long time while I took my nap in the back seat.
We were gone for a long, long time today and I'm glad I get to be home with my family, even though I had a really fun day. Oh and the best part is that that show off dog Pennington went too far down the road and he got in trouble with his moms so he had to put his rope on, but turns out his rope is a HARNESS which is even more embarrassing than a neck rope so I jogged ahead with my moms and smiled, because I showed him! And that was awesome. Here's another picture of me on my adventure today.
I had a real good time.
