So on the way I seened Mr. and Mrs. Duck again.

Then up high ofur my head:

That be a downy woodpeckah - there woz a gabillion of them but this be the only brazen outgoing one wot posed fur pikshures.  Here you can see the red on his head better:

So we hiked along the creek wot woz more like a river...

Then it became a LAKE with a DAM!

I woz lissening to the soothing sounds of the cascades...

When all of a sudden....

PAWTAY!

There woz like 10 gabillion dogs!  Some belonged to the moms, udders they was dog sitting so they didn't has to go to jail and some woz fosters.  Wot funs we had visiting!  It woz wild and crazee good times.  But they woz going to their cars and me and mom still had lots of hiking to do so we sayed good-bai.

Just when you think you has seened it all...

Looking fur that Appalachian Trail.

I found the Appalachian Trail with seeniks!

So now that we woz on the Appalachian Trail we had to sign the trail register to say we woz here.  (Frankie, I would not sign Francine and Ernestine in, k, coz we want no record of them, rite?)

Then, OMD, my worstest puppymare!  A steep drop DOWN!

I is skeered.

Oh. My. Dog.  Wot to do? Furry most worried look on face.

Well mom went down, taked her backpack off, then climbed back up with a fur real leash, lassoed me and pulled me down!  She lied talked all nice and and sweet and stuffs and woz like "Come on Shawnee, you can do it, one paw at a time..."  Then she PULLED me and I FALLED even though I dugged my claws in and hanged on fur dear life but mom did catch me and drop me on my head lower me down furry gently.  This be how I got down:

Well, I did live to see anudder day.  But now it woz my turn to help mom.  We got to the river and OMD, wot happened to the bridge?

Irene swipied the bridge.

It be no prawblem fur me to cross ofur but how is mom going to get ofur?  I always say if'n she did not shave the furs off her legs, she could get them wet and stay warm like me but duss she lissen?  WOO HOO - I found a way fur mom to get ofur!

Mom had to sit on her behind and scootch ofur coz she be no good at tight rope walking.  Me, I swimmed ofur.

I found the bridge wot Irene swipied.

On the way back to the car we had to go through swamps and I thought that it looked like Bert had so much fun swamp diving that I gibbed it a try...

I tell you where that got me...

I is not amoosed and now I stink of flowahs.  BLECH.

Wordless Wednesday

Mountaintop Meadow Hiking

Today we woz at Trexler Nature Preserve in Pencilvania where we hiked ofur 11 miles and had pawsome advenshures with lots of wildlife, or not so wild mebbe.  Anyhoo, furst I need to tell you about my new hiking gear.  I woz surfing the innerwebs the udder day looking at dog hiking gear and OMD, I seened this and just HAD to has one!

Mom thought this woz a GREAT ideer coz it do be such a pain hauling my leash along and this way I has a collah (in sporty no-huntin-me orange, of course) with a magic leash inside.  It came by UPS (Urgent Package fur Shawnee) the udder day, just in time fur today's hike.  I gibs you a quick demo.  I dussn't has any snazzy muzak and nefur mind the patched up hole in the fence wot the neybor dogs made so they can do snarly face at us.

I had to do that moovie in slo-mo coz mom walks too fast.

So, on to our hike now!  Furst we seened rilly wild wildlifes and mom woz all like SQUEEEEEE and saying good morning at them and stuffs and they thought mom woz weird.

So at the nature center, OMD, you can walkie up on the ROOF, fur real!

Going up on the roof of the nature center.

Ta da! Seeniks from the roof.

And seeniks from the ground.

So we woz in the rolling hills of Pencilvania and efurry time we commed to the top of a hill, it woz seeniks all around.  We woz on seenik overload!

Wot do we has down here in the field?

OMD, it be elk - this do be the furst time I efur seened elks.  Kinda like the deers I think.

This nature preserve has a zoo in the middull and I is not allowed in there but I can look down inside from the mountaintop.

That ahind me is the Schlichers Covered Bridge wot woz builded in 1882.

We went inside the bridge but cars is not allowed to anymore coz it be too old.  They is going to build a new one in 2013 with 90% new stuffs so the old one be all gone.  I say leave it alone and let peeples and dogs walk thru it.  Cars dussn't need to drive thru the nature preserve.  Peeples should hike here, not drive here.

Then I had to go up steps on a bridge and mom thought I would be all skeered and stuffs coz you know how skeered I is of steps.  Well, watch this:

You know why I woz not skeered?

The skeery stairs woz camooflodged with LEAVES so they looked like NATURE! Brilliant!

We commed to anudder mountaintop where there be fields of veggies (BLECH!).

BLECH!

OMD, wot is this?

I had mom engage the magical walking string so we could go check it out.

It be horsies and they stopped to say at me NEYYYYY and that meaned "snazzy magical collah you has there."  They had some pritty snazzy leg warmers, too.

More seeniks on the way up to a break spot.

Break time.

Break ofur, moving on...

I see something atop that hill.  Mom, engage magical walking string and let's go check it out.

WOWSERS!  It be a bison!  This one woz HUGE and there woz a gabillion of them!

A gabillion bison and a gabillion bison poo.

It woz a pawsome hike and I LOVE my new hiking collah!
