Frosty Morning Walk

Oh this puppy is growing! She’s now over twenty pounds and was just ten when we started with her almost four weeks ago! And the cuteness is growing just as fast. At some point she will become a teenaged dog and we will yearn for these days.

A sunny morning was welcome after the last couple of gray days. It was a good opportunity to try out a new ‘superzoom’ camera too. It goes out to 600 mm and is small enough to easily carry around.

Oh! What’s that?

Hey! Whatcha doin?

Tiffany Lake with Puppy

Sky is going to be a good hiking dog. So far she has been to Cutthroat Lake and Tiffany Lake in the North Cascades. They are both short hikes but for a ten week old puppy, they are real expeditions. We were surprised to have Tiffany to ourselves on such an outstanding fall day. Here are a few photos from last Saturday’s hike to Tiffany Lake.

This late season butterfly was on a firewood trailer we passed along the road
It should be easy to identify
A very late blooming wildflower. It’s stem was maybe an inch long. I think it is an agoseris.

Something stinky that Sky found. Maybe a baby beaver skull?
Beautiful brook trout
Cute
Gorgeous fall colors
Luna doesn’t mind cold water
Sky isn’t so sure about that
She’s a retriever!

Hmmm, a fish

I can get over this
Nothing to slow down Luna

Puppies Never Quit Moving

Adeline, otherwise known as Addy, came to visit us with her person last night. I was in bed before they arrived so didn’t get to meet her til this morning. What a little cutie but I tell ya, she never stayed still. Try as I might, she was a hard one to photograph and with limited time on my hands, I only captured a few frames of her. She is half Australian shepard and half fox terrier and twelve weeks old.
