A Walk In The Woods

Hello Everypup,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had a relaxing Saturday but yesterday we all decided to take a walk in the woods. It was great, lots to explore and sniff at.

Ready for the off..



Come on Dad, I'll pull you up!!



Finally ditched the leash!



Now for some sniffing around!!







Ooooh Sunshine!!



Stop making me stop to pose Mum!!.. there are things to sniff!!



Even the Beans are having fun!!



This critter looked crunchy, but Mum wouldn't let me eat it!!



Time for a quick shake



Having a rest!



Hey!! Where did the little beans go??



they found a tree to climb into!!



That looks like fun! I think I will climb in too!!



Woah!! It's a long way down!!



Dad to the rescue!!



I smell critters!!



Lemme at em!!



I'm going in!!



Anyone home??



What do you mean I need a bath??



They never did let me off the leash near that hole! Grrrrrr!! They really are spoilsports!!

You are so brave to climb that tree! Did you dig the hole yourself?

Hi Ben

We think that was mean not letting you be off lead at the hole. There could have been something really interesting down there!

Oh No, your pictures reminded Momma that she forgot to give me my bath yesterday. I wanted ask if your momma ordered you the Doggles with flames like mine or skulls like Tasha's?

I hope it is OK if we add your blog to our list of links.

Mr. T-Bone Beasley said...

Oooo Ben! You are so much more muscular than I thought! I hope I look as buff as you when I get older. You gotta be careful getting down. I cry until my human gets me off the bed, it's just too far!!! Hehe!

We have you signed up for the International Goody Exchange! We will post on Sunday and let everyone know the exchange info!

Slurp!

Hi Ben The Rottie!

I am Dexter (also a Rottie!).
My Mom thinks you are a very handsome Rottie and wants to link to your Blog from mine, but it says on your website that we have to ask permission first. So I am writing to ask if we can link to you (and maybe you would like to link to me? My site is www.raisingdexter.co.za). My e-mail is dexter (at) raisingdexter.co.za - I hope to hear from you.

Johann The Dog said...

Oh, dog, I just love hiking. Looks like you had loads of fun, and off leash too!

I really like that pic of you looking for the little ones.

Woofs, Johann

B said...

That's a pretty neat forest. It must've been exciting to find such a big hole. I have to dig all my own holes.

JAZZ AND DIXIE said...

Wow looks like you had a great walk in the woods!. You had your nose to the ground just about as much as a beagle there!
