What I've learned about Harlow

Traveling with a dog for a long period of time has its own set of challenges.  Our place in Colter Bay doesn't have a fenced in yard, and park rules forbid off-leash dogs, so Harlow is 100% dependent on me for her exercise and entertainment.  I've learned a few things about Harlow that I've never noticed before...

She likes to run through tall grass....

Okay, da Momma, I iz getting ready for da zoomies.

When she needs a nap, she really needs a nap....

Zzzzzzz.....

She makes friends easily, both human and pups....

Garth Riley, iz dat you?

Most flowers are taller than her....

Da Momma, dese posies are blocking da Harlow's view!

She really was an excessive wriggle to her walk....

She has a funny sense of humor...

Dis tall fellow don't say much, da Momma.  Hehehe....

She truly is the happiest dog around...

Dis my happy face.

I've really enjoyed having her with me.  She is always up for adventure and makes me smile a dozen times a day.  I really think she is enjoying herself too!

Wordless Wednesday - Wildlife

Monty Monday - Monty receives a package!

Recently, I placed on order from chewy.com just for our Monty.  He always has to share whatever comes in the mail, first with our Angel Sam, and then with Harlow.  He very seldom gets toys and treats that are just for him.  Aaron made sure to capture Monty enjoying his special gift!

All for me?

 I tried to order him chewies, special treats and a toy just for him.

A squeaky toy!

I like Monty's glowing eyes and toothy grin....

I think Monty was quite pleased with his box!

Yum!

Nom nom nom....

Mine!

The toy so far has lived up to its "indestructible" claim.  However, both Aaron and I realize that our real tester is a few miles north...

I also ordered him some special crunch treats - Plato Salmon Dog Treats.  Monty happens to love very stinky treats and I thought this might do the trick!

Is dat a stinky treat?

Delicious!

So what do you think of your treats, Monty?

Lip-licking good!

P.S. - Monty really loves his toy!  Per Aaron - It has harmonics in the squeakies that drive him nuts, and he's been carrying it around ever since I opened it a couple of days ago. Even takes it to bed and toilet breaks.

The Trouble With Squirrels....

The trouble with squirrels is that sometimes they taunt you....

Squirrel!

 They tease you...

Squirrel!

They find out where you live...

Squirrel!

They trick you into getting wet....

Squirrel!

They call you names....

Squirrel!

They send over their much bigger friends...

Oh dear!

...and they never let you catch them...

Squirrrellll.....

Wordless Wednesday - The Puppy of The Lake

Monty Monday - Oops!

Hey Monty, why are you hiding under there?

You didn’t see?

See what?

The couch. You were gone, and I was here alone, and the thunder and lightning and wind and tree branches hitting the house and I…I guess I panicked.

Well Monty.  It’s not the first time this has happened, is it? But that time everything came out all right, didn’t it? So don’t worry about it, we’ll fix this one the same way.

You mean it, It’s OK? And I get to come with you anyway?

Thanks Dad.

Our first week!

If you are following us on Facebook, you will know that Harlow and I made it safely to Grand Teton National Park.  We are settled into a little apartment on Colter Bay, and I think our first week here has been a success.

The drive up was beautiful.  Open land, ranches, mountains - I think it was as scenic as this park is!

That's a big bull!

This area was just outside of Wyoming - just beautiful!

Exploring with the Princess.

Our first night here we were handed a can of bear spray with the warning "don't walk without it!".  Despite our worries, Harlow and I have logged in nearly 20 miles of walking and exploring.  We both keep a sharp eye out for any thing that might want to eat a Princess and her da Momma.

We've also spent some time exploring our little community of Colter Bay, as well as the neighboring Jackson Lodge area - we came across this gem!

Does dis come in princess pink, da Momma?

Harlow has also spent some time establishing the northern post of the Turtle Defense Squad.  This one is called the Northern Squirrel Defense League.  She has been diligently keeping an eye out for invading squirrels.

Dey are out dere, da Momma.

I'm hoping to do some more exploring this weekend, as well as a visit to neighboring Bridger-Teton National Forest.  It should be fun!
