A Midwinter's Morning Walk

It was a beautiful day today and in celebration of being on holiday we met with our friends, Zephyr and Zin (and their humans Margie and Gabby - and her friend Mollie) for a mid-winter hike through the Parley's Nature Preserve.

It was a momentous occasion because we were taking Margie's temporary foster Border Collie, Zorro, for his first walk with the gang. (I picked Zorro up yesterday at 4:30 p.m. from a small local all-breed rescue that just didn't have a place for him to go. I dropped him off at Margie's last night and he has settled in wonderfully with her crew.)
Introducting "Zorro"

Zorro is telling Rusty a Secret
(Actually, Rusty is not fond of other dogs -- hence the alarmed look, although they actually got along pretty well.)

Zorro had a marvelous time!

Allie loved the hike and had a great time. She ran like a crazy fool!

Rusty mugs for the camera. :)

It was also 5 mo. old Zin's first time at the Parley's Nature Preserve. She thought it was great, but stuck close to big brother, Zephyr.

Border Collies and Human Folks All Have a Great Time.




Allie and Rusty (both "Water Babies") love to play in the river. Zin check outs the river.


Gabby and Mollie (the human kids) play on a rope swing.



What a wonderful day!

That looks a great place for a walk and for dog play. The snow made it even better. You all must have had a great time there.

You've been tagged to play 40 things about you. :)

You post a recent picture of you and your dogs, then tag 3 other people to play.
