Summer has arrived!

Greetings to all my fabulous bloggie pals! Summer finally arrived....mom's been working a lot from home....my pals, Sammie & Avalon have been hanging out with me quite a bit... Above is my 'come get the ball!' look...I like to be just on the other side of the deck and peeking out!
And, of course, Avalon went for it, and got it!

Sammie and I on a lap across the deck...back to the pool side...

Well...just a quickie check in with all of you...

We are heading out today for a drive north to Oregon...to pick up a new camper...then home for a day or so...then if all good with the new rig, hoping to do our annual trip to Hume Lake...

I hope to say hello from camping!

Summer wishes to all :)

Waking up in the mountains....

This ball toss goes out to my furpal Sophie!

A late drive last Friday eve..mom feeling much better and so excited to make a little trip. We woke up in the mountains Saturday morning to warm temps, and soft snows!
Shorts and boots! Ready? Let's play!
Orange ball throws... recall practice...all more fun when I can jump around in the SNOW!

Dad....the flip flop guy..hey, throw my ball! Such a teaser dad is!

Yeaooo!

After I pooped out, my human's rode the lifts to hike a bit for some swooshing through July corn snow.

Friends that had been out since 7:30am, knew where the good snow was! Following friends down the ski hill.

Lots of ski wax and big smiles!

Not a breeze, just warm temps and great views.

Post-ski, and more play with moi, mom and dad headed out on a little mtn. bike pedal... They found some sweet spots. This cabin has Caples Lake views.

Caples Lake, late day sun.

We camped with friends Saturday eve, and Sunday arrived quickly...

Early afternoon Sunday..and with a short drive North on Hwy 88... I could barely contain myself.... lake swimming!

Mom and I hung out by this refreshing little lake while dad took a road bike pedal up Blue Lakes Road in Eldorado National Forest.

A beautiful area. We headed for home sweet home after the temps had cooled... A brief get-away, yet so enjoyable!
Happy 4th to my friends!

In my backyard...

Happy end-of-weekend friends! ...I know, never nice to end a weekend... Mom's has the sickies...too much work stress...not enough sleep...

Easy to pick up bugs, she said. She'll be ok, just needs a few days of rest...

And probably more quality ball tossing time with ME!

I'm patient. Ready when you are Orange Ball.
I reminded mom of the nice places we visit when she is feeling super
...which I hope will be SOON!
I found a few more pix to share from our in Lake Tahoe visit a few weeks back... SWIMMING!

I was on a super duper long line...and of course someone was still worried that I would swim out to greet the passing duckies and geese...like I did last summer at D.L. Bliss..

I still had lots of fun in the chilly waters, and there were some great views at every turn.

Looking out...and a little view of my wet floofy tail :)

Less obstructed view :)

With the HOT days we've had recently, the snow from a few weeks back is melting quite a bit.

I'm always up for a mountain visit...snow or sun! For now, we'll get mom better, and enjoy the sunsets from our little upstairs balcony where I can look out, and keep an eye on mom too.

Give your humans a hug!

See you again soon pals.
