You may recall that my MOM in addition to her job also has to continue her education. That means she has a lot of reading to do and tons of papers to write. I've been through this before. The woman barely sleeps during this time. I promised her that I would be understanding when she has to hit the books and try not to bother her too much. In turn MOM put my head in her hands and promised me that no matter what she would make sure that I would still get my hikes and walks, even if they have to be shorter than normal and even though they might just be around our neighborhood, she would still take me. So I was way surprised that after breakfast MOM put on her hiking boots and said lets go. I wasn't expecting that and to top it off we hiked for two and a half hours! Of course MOM took some pictures and they are below in a video. Not sure why she picked the song that she did.
When we got back home MOM grabbed her bucket and trowel and began weeding the flower beds, getting them ready for spring flowers. Double bonus for me, cuz I love it when MOM works outside. I love just laying next to her as she does the yard work. First a great walk, then laying in the sun next to my MOM for the rest of the afternoon. Yep it was a good day. When night fell I reminded MOM that I also love to eat and have treats so she better hit the books, cuz if she doesn't do her homework, then she doesn't have a job and then where will the kibble and treats come from.
Blessings,
Goose
That looked like a fun hike. Here's hoping your mom takes more breaks like that.

That was a great hike Goose! I think MOM was just spending time in nature preparing to get down to business!
ReplyDeleteI must say Goose is hard to spot in some of the scenes. Thank goodness for the subtitles!
Now Mom it is time to do all your reading and work so you can keep Goose in the style to which he deserves!

Looks like a great hike. Your mom sure got some beautiful pictures. Glad you were able to enjoy the day.
ReplyDeleteWell Goose Buddy, It appears I have missed yet another of great times with you and your mom. My Vickie says your human is coming over to help out at the kennel while "She" goes up in the mountains today "Without" me again.
ReplyDeleteAt least I know your Mom will take good care of me and give me some pettin and huggin. You have a great human.

When you and your mom finish Your flower beds.. will you come here and do My mom's?
ReplyDeleteSometimes ya just gotta stop in your tracks, feel the sun on your face and say "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it". It was a wonderful day indeed!
ReplyDeleteHey you and your Momma had a great day! It's always so nice to start getting out in the flower beds. Tell your Momma not to study too hard and make sure she gets her rest! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have an awesome Mom, Goose. It is always good to take time to relax and refresh. And now she will be even more productive with her studies.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.

Goose, what a wonderful walk you had. We loved all your photos especially your mum in the tree and the mountains were glorious. Paws crossed your friend Bert will soon be back playing with you too. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteAnother great day in the life of Goose...thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Goose! Your life is just beautiful! Meandering at Bert's Watering Hole (he'll be back soon, right?) and then a leisurely afternoon lounging in the yard. How lovely!
ReplyDeleteSending your mom happy, focusing thoughts to get through her work more quickly. ;)
Goose you sure do have some beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
Looks like a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Woof to you Goose!!!! I saw you in Bert's watering hole and am so proud of you! It looks like Bert is doing a great job of showing you the ropes in terms of how to have fun in the water and that you are becoming more and more comfortable moving out of your comfort zone. And you are so lucky to have such a beautiful place to hike off leash. While I get a ton of time outside, since I live in NYC, I don't get to see mountains, forests and watering holes like you do. Speak to you soon. XXOO - Mazzie
ReplyDeleteYou got to hike for two and a half hours?! I am green with envy! It is perfect weather here right now and I'm busy nursing Mom out of her bronchitis. Dad has already put his foot down and said no hiking this weekend. Booo! I'll live through you!
ReplyDeleteBunny
What a great day, Goose! A long hike and then laying in the sun while MOM worked in the garden. You are one lucky dog. Just don't tell Bert that you went to his swimming hole without him!
ReplyDeleteHi Goose
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day you had! and beautiful pictures - you look always so happy !
Kisses

2 and a half hours, you must be fit Goose! Love the video and the music is so upbeat.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers
Sounds like a wonderful day outdoors! Sometimes even with schoolwork, we need to get outside and enjoy nature at its best.
ReplyDeleteGoose what a fab hike you had with your Mom. We loved the video and the music. After a hike like that we reckon she hit her books with renewed energy!
