We had a wet, muddy weekend here in Arizona. It was too wet to do much, the weather was a little wild (a very weak tornado was spotted in Mesa!), and we found ourselves confined to the house watching Netflix, house cleaning, and trying to entertain two very bored pups. I thought I would just share some random photos from our weekend.
Bird patrol... Harlow reports unusual bird activity on our northern boundary. She will continue monitoring...
Computer time with Dad...
Enjoying being a Princess Golden...
Playing with toys till you can barely keep your eyes open...
On Sunday we took the pups to Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area to join AZGRC on their monthly Cruise the Valley event. Since this was a nature hike both Monty and Harlow got to go.
Getting ready to head out - Harlow and Monty are on the right.
This was our first time walking in this area, so we were very interested to see what the park was like. Of course, being in the company of good friends and Golden pups makes the day all that much better!

The park was very interesting. I was impressed by the artwork underneath one of the bridges - bright and colorful!
The flag of Arizona made a beautiful backdrop - if you click on the photo you can see some of the wildlife that lives in this park.
There was even a reminder that our desert can be full of surprises!
Cottonwoods, water, shade... I think I'm in the wrong state!
...and of course, our little drama queen needed her royal court to help her over the bridges. She was really sure a troll would come and eat her...
We got the sweetest e-mail the other day. Khrya's Mom went to her local Tractor Supply for birdfood and saw that they were doing a donation special for the FFA, so she gave a donation in Monty and Harlow's name!
What do you two say?
Thank you!
Wait... What? They make food to attract birds? Why nobody tell Harlow dis?
I'm sure she meant to say, "Thank you for thinking of us, Khyra's Mom!"
