squirrels don't swim

Hi every bloggie!

Whew... I know it's not Texas but it was very humid and hot today-you could cut the air it was thick. So we headed out for an early run this morning on the ARRT. For my fellow tweetin dog bloggies, you can follow the national rails trails tweets. They tweet about local and national rail trail happenings. Here's me and mom. She has a hard time keeping up with me. I'm trying to get her into shape.
About mid way, I found a nice spot in the shade to take a cool off dip.
But I got a little distracted. Mom says squirrels don't swim but I thought I'd check out the tree anyways. What does she know. Squirrels talk to me why can't they swim.
Well maybe she was right. Okay okay.. time to swim, cool off and hit the spin cycle.
You didn't know but I have a wild ob eye (short for wildlife observing). Wild obing is my latest thing, check out my postings. My gal pal Sharon is Sharing is the master wild ober. That's quite a title. You can get the iPhone app and join the fun too!
Along the trail, I sniffed my way to this mushroom and told mom to capture it. Neat huh?
The trail has benches for break time. They're surrounded by black eye susans. I wanted to sit and enjoy but had to get back. I got an after run romp at the frog pond for coming along. Sweet deal!

  3. You actually went out yesterday? We turned on the AC and hid out. Momma was complaining because she got all sweaty just picking up the poops in the backyard.

  4. Norwood, I think that you & your Mom & Aunt Dee make the best hiking team ever. Too bad it's too hot for Tula cuz she would have loved the walk. Thanks for the Wildobs shout out! I didn't see much Saturday but that iguana in my backyard yesterday was WAY COOL! It's nice to see a boy being a boy...keep getting muddy cuz that's what you're suppose to do.
    love ya,
    Sharon:)

  5. You are a GREAT wildobs-er Norwood...how could your Mom go wrong with you leading the way with your good sniffer & doggie eyes! I love how you take your job so seriously & get right into the thick of things...like that tree in the water trying to track down squirrels! Keep it up Norwood cuz one day you'll have your own TV show...& I'll be watching!

  18. Squirrels really can't swim? We may need to send that one into Myth Busters..
    Sure glad you are keeping mom in shape.. Our mom has a really hard time keeping up with all three of us when we walk.. Callie girl is always zooming around behind her. She still needs some learning..

  21. Norwood!!! I almost caught a squirrel yesterday! I was soooo close that I could almost feel his fur on my face, but he got away. :(

    Cool twitter rec! We will have to try it out. It looks like you had a nice little stream to swim in. All of our streams near where we live have gross water.
