Weekend Routines

On the weekends we have a routine that Annie and Willa love.  After a morning walk with Sage down the field and back to the house and breakfast, we head to Leavenworth to run.  Off leash.  And after the run comes the most important part: a trip to the river.

Despite the fact it's getting nippy, tennis balls thrown in either Icicle or the Wenatchee are possibly the best part of the day...even better than breakfast or dinner.

It's a lab's life.

Sometimes You Just Need to Fish

Sometimes you just need to take the girls fishing.

Icicle

The girls love Icicle!

Protecting

Yesterday a friend came to the door to introduce me to his St. Bernard, which I have never met.  That set the girls off on a barking jag that lasted the rest of the afternoon.  Once they "know" they have to protect me, any little noise will send them into full on Secret Service mode.

Annie is also protective of toys, chews, and sometimes her "special space," which is behind the coffee table in my office.

These are gentle, kind girls.  But I must admit, I like the protection, also.
