River Walk Adventure!

We have a really nice river trail next to our house. We took Rana for a "walk" a few weeks ago which quickly turned into a 3.5 mile hike. She was such a trooper! She was a really good girl on this walk because we did not encounter any children on the trail. Rana's kryptonite is children (oh, and pet stores). She goes from being a well-behaved puppy who walks very well on a leash, to a bouncy, frantic puppy at the end of the leash. She loves children a little too much. We are working on it, though. She has to sit and stay before she is allowed to greet children. That doesn't stop her from getting really excited, though ;)

"What do you mean we won't see any kids today?!"

Rana had no problem walking alongside us through a shallow part of the river. I was really surprised by this, because everything I have learned about her so far has showed me that she HATES water. But she tromped through the river with a big goofy grin on her face :) 

Her favorite part was the sand. She LOVED digging in it! She was filthy when she was done. Fortunately all that mud and dirt just fell off of her as we walked back to our house.

Logs are fun!

She sat very still for me while I put a daisy on her head. I love her face in this picture :)
