Sunday Challenge " Faces"

The challenge this week is Faces....well she didn't say what kind of faces. I have to admit though I got a little carried away with this one face. Kali from a pup up to today.

This dog has suckie down to a science. 

 

 

Who wouldn't fall for that? 

 

This is a face that puts a smile on my face everyday...she is totally irresistible...can you tell she has me trained.

 

 If I wasn't having so much trouble with my computer and blogger I would have gone overboard on Sage too. I was having trouble finding my old photos of her as a pup( she was so cute you almost couldn't stand it) and growing up...she had such an ever changing face until she was about two ish. I caught her with this face Sat morning.

 

And last ....just because Dave thinks his dog suffers when he's not home....Tucker  ....Aw what a face!!

 

Well guys that's it for me. I'll be checking you all out later.

Have A Great Week

Sunday Challenge

Well guys you can thank Shirley (Ride A Good Horse) for this post.Blogger still won't let me upload pics so we went an alternate route.Due to my lack of computer skills it is annoying and well downright aggravating to have to go this different route to get my pics, but thanks Shirley(she is patient)although I think I heard a touch of impatience while trying to talk me through it on Fri....:) if you guys knew me you would know just how hard it would be to help me and keep your cool. Anyhow on to the Challenge. This Sunday the challenge is " Rays of Sunshine" So here's what I got.
                                                     The Sunrise Thurs morning.

Sunday Challenge " Sports"

The challenge this week is Sports, in honor of the Olympics.The only thing I wanted to see was the Equestrian stuff...which by the way I have not seen. I saw a couple of horses doing dressage and so far that's it. Considering those events are sold out you would think they might cover it a little better...they seem to ....OK I'm going to stop here because I'm pretty sure if I keep going I'm bound to piss somebody off. Back to the challenge. Sports - You had to know it was going to resemble Shirley's over at Ride A Good Horse after all we just spent 4 days doing the same thing so without further ado....                                                               Cross Country Eventing

Endurance Riding

                                     Works for me. Catch you all later and see whatcha got.                  
                                      HAVE A GREAT WEEK                        

Riding (Thursday)

We had a good ride on Thursday we had a lot of luck though. We had to wait for me to close before we could ride,we didn't get going until about 6:00ish or so. By then the wind had picked up considerably.The sky behind Mattie didn't  look all that promising...the way we went was worse. I thought the wind would blow most of the ugly sky away ....it didn't, we just kept riding into it. The wind got pretty strong....the bonus in that......no bugs.

We could have ridden towards that blue sky behind Gussie.

It didn't matter much what direction we went in because after awhile we were pretty much surrounded by this.

We rode for awhile and then we hit a spot where we ran into some vicious mosquitoes they were turning my horse into a basket case. They must have really liked her cause she was covered in them, usually the wind keeps that kind of pest away but not these guys.....still no excuse for her badness...Gussies face was covered in them and she just kept going straight ahead like she had not a care in the world.

      This is where all the bugs were hiding out, we didn't have as much wind  in this area. It was here we turned around and headed back to the truck. It was on the way back that we got lucky.....we had a bit of thunder and lightening which didn't make any of us happy especially the dogs, but it didn't come too close and all the way back we were getting glimpses of this.                 

The ride finished off with wind no rain and I know I felt like we lucked out.

For those of you that don't know them this is Shirley and Tess....so do you think they know how to relax after a ride.

Riding ( Wednesday)

Shirley and I headed out to ride...a bit of a later start than I wanted but what the hey. So we loaded up the girls and off we went. This is some of our view.

We startled this guy from his perch and thereafter he turned up in almost every shot ...squawking and giving us heck for the disturbance.

Shirley and Gussie, nice pic. 

See that dot to the left.....still squawking.

 We had a nice ride ..a bit warm but thankfully some of that was on a tree shaded trail.Stay tuned for Thursdays ride
