Pumpkin Patch Time

My pal, Golden Samantha and I live very close to the St. Vincent School for Boys...and their seasonal pumpkin patch. As Sammie's grandpeep, and all of us were excited to go....we made an afternoon visit (with a few surprises).....here we go.

To my mom's horror (spooky, eh?), and my excitement(!) I found the pumpkin tops super crunchy for my snagglers....that was a tough one for mom, as there were beautiful pumkins with perfect stems EVERYWHERE!

How's it goin' over there? Is that a happy smile Sammie? The mom's had something planned that Sammie and I didn't realize.....

Costumes!
I had to guess what Sammie's costume was....can you?

I was happy in my skarf that I love.

Found some snacks.

What's that? Hood ornament?

Not sure about this.. What's going on?
Doesn't that belong on the car?

I guess I can deal with this! Lead the say Sammie!

Hmmmm. Interesting things here.

And, off I go....

Sammie!

Ride'm cowboy! Stems everywhere!

Ok, I got in there..but, we couldn't seem to coordinate this.....and eventually the double headed board fell over from all of our loving attentions!

Thanks for inviting me sweet friend!

See you again soon pals!

Catchin' up at the park!

Another hot and humid day here. I was wiped out just getting to the parkie.

Hey! Who do I spy over there?

It's my pal, Golden Samantha http://www.sammiegolden.blogspot.com/ practicin' with her mom for the De Valle show this weekend......http://www.dvdc.org/Shows.htm!

It was pretty serious stuff...Sammie was so good at all of the sits, stays, downs, follow.....!!!

There she goes....round the cone....my mom was taking a video...you might see something over at Sammie's blog site. I was a pretty good bystander. Didn't try to distract Sammie, even though I really just wanted to wrestle and stuff...

Go Sammie! This is mom holding the video camera and watching Sammie's every move.

And, once showtime practice was over we walked around and found a few other parkie pals! We all had our tongues hanging way out from the heat and humidity!

Sammie and our mom's and I took our usual levy walk...we always are cautious for fly balls...gold balls that is, around this sign.....it's a dangerous area....so we hurry by...

On past this flowing, smelly stuff......?? Hmmmmmm

Lead the way Sammie!

And, past this sign....'Dogs MUST be on Leash...'.

Sammie and I with mom's shadows and some sandbags.....

And, a pair of mallards.....beautiful aren't they!?!?! Would love to play with them!

Sammie and I need some time to check these lovely quackers out.....

I needed a little extra time deciding if they would want to play or not.....hmmmm

Sammie is all about the gopher holes! And, there are lots!

Here's what we're seeing on the other side...that's Mt. Tamalpais in the background.

" I think I'm done walkin' guys...let's turn around here!"

I did not get my way, but we did get some water....I find that I get better water service or service in general when I make myself taller!

Yes! Sammie did get some water too!

Some interesting patterns below...

Lots of duckies out today! Well....out every day in this area.

We're on our way back now....snuggling up to Sammie. "I would just like to stay here in this tiny patch of shade, ok?"

Again, I didn't get my way...and on we went.... Sammie found a nice looking hole! Observing for quite some time, as usual..... Nothing hopped out this time....but she sported a pretty funny expression on her face from behind!

Ok, well, I had to check things out too....and it was slightly shady over here....mom thought our butts looked cute!

Back past the gold course..................making sure everything is on the up and up...

Posing at the end for a few last photos. Hi Sammie! Sammie gets a nice mommie hug! The mommies both had really sweet sun hats on. Intense afternoon sun today!

Yea! Back at the doggie water spot. Slurp slurp slurp!

Alright....we'll just get it from the source....

Whew! We were wiped out. But, a great time.

Have a nice weekend pals!!
