LEAVES

Hello Friends.

As you know I am finally off my restrictions and I'm allowed to resume running, playing, jumping, just being who I am.  So for the first time in two weeks I got to go to the Fort and test out the leg.  My friend Bert joined me.


First MOM kept me on lead, so I wouldn't just spring out of the gate.  She said it was best to ease back into these things.

But I just had to be free to run through the leaves.  
Twice last week we had two real good snow storms that helped the trees release their hold on their leaves.  Then a day after the last storm it warmed up to 40 and a lot of the snow melted, leaving my part of the world covered in a layer of soft leaves. 

Wooo Hoooo.  Oh yea this is what I have been waiting for!

"Come on Bert catch up!"

Zoomies between the trees.

It was such a beautiful night.

Bert has fallin' and can't get up.  But I rush in to give him a paw.

We cooled off in the snow.

Then we raced off again.  Bert is a great friend, even if he does have a fluffy butt.  But I gotta say it works for him.

Heaven was displaying all it's glory and smilin' down on us.

And what adventure is not complete without finding a stick.  Bert helped me hold this one down so I could get my chew on.  Told you he was a good friend.

As we headed back to the Blazer, walking through all the leaves, I was reminded of this:  
A single leaf is an ancient symbol of happiness.  Pointed leaves symbolize a strong and lasting friendship.  This association is derived from it's ability to stay attached to a rocky surface in even the most inhospitable conditions.  The best friends are the ones who withstand the good and the bad, and all the in between. 

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."  Proverbs 17:17

Blessings,
Goose

  3. Goose and Bert, you guys had a big old doggie blast, your such good buddies, and that was an awesome stick you guys worked on. Loved the last little saying about furiends.

  15. You and Bert are amazing together. Just like Batman and Robin, Frick and Frack, Lucy and Ricky, Cousin It and Uncle Fester, Laurel and Hardy.... You catch my drift!

    We're so glad you got to run off leash and be free once again.

  17. Goose, we are so happy that you can once again run and have fun with your super pal Bert. You two look like you have such a grand time together. Not much snow left, but it is more than we have seen (which is zilch). That's a great way to think about a leaf. Thanks for sharing.

    Happy Sunday.

  25. BEAUTIFUL, Goose! From start to finish!!! I have to say, we got a little happy-teary eyed seeing you FLY through those leaves! I know that had to feel SO GREAT!!! Your patience paid off. As my dear sister Stormy used to say, sometimes the bipeds really do know what's best for us. Heaven really IS smiling down on you and Bert. I love seeing you two together; you're every bit as much brothers as me and Zim are!
    Luv,

  54. The photos are incredible, I love the photo of you and bert on the tree "adventure is not complete without finding a stick" and I agree! The photo of the moon in the gorgeouse night sky and all those wonderful fallen leave all pretty colours, you both run really fast through them,I bet you were slipping and sliding all over the place! Bert rolling in the snow, Brrrrr! You look like you had so much fun, such beauty and love! These photos have really made me smile today!
