On October 27th, after going to the cemetary and seeing the new head stone, we decided it would be a good time to connect with nature. We took the dogs up one of the canyons (I forgot my camera) and had a really nice time watching them run around and be silly, chasing cows and each other. Before we were through, we had decided we would do this every week, regarless of the weather, because we all need the excersize and our souls need the peace.This is Lewis Canyon, to the south and slightly east of here. This first picture has Zip, the aussie/golden cross; Tug, the 6 ft tall and bullet proof chihuahua; and in the far distance, Kujo (named by my oldest, we ended up with her when he moved back home, she seriously does not fit that name :)
Last weekend I remembered the camera, but forgot the batteries were almost dead so I only 
got a few pictures, but you can see my kids, and our dogs. Here is my daughter, along with Kujo, who is the sweetest most loveable dog you could ever meet, and Beamer, our registered aussie. We got him about 8 months ago from a breader that was moving and decided she could part with him for a fraction of what he is worth. He was used in shows but never had been around livestock, so no, he isnt a sheep dog. I have never had this many dogs at one time before, its funny how they all have their quirks and idiosyncrasies.

Zip is the oldest, picked him up out of a box of puppies in front of the grocery store about 8 years ago. The box was full of bouncy black puppies and as I got closer, I could see this little silver fluff ball in the back corner. After asking I found out that the aussie down the road had been visiting when the golden was in heat. I brought him home, I had always wanted a 'truck' dog, one that would want to get in the back of the truck every time someone got close to it so he could go for a ride. Zip (also named by my oldest son, and no he doesnt exactly fit that name either LOL, he has never been what I would call zippy :) turned out to be my truck dog, but Tad was his boy through and through.
This is my 17 year old, 6'3 with a heart to match. And of course there is Kujo. You can barely see Zip in the forground to the left...Next week I think we will go back up Crumb Canyon so I can take some pictures to share. We wont be going this weekend because I plan on being in Reno, fuel prices be damned!
Thats about it for now...

It's gorgeous there - not at all what I expected. I wonder what it would take to arrange a field trip....
There are several canyons in the area that sport the same features; water, trees, shade. Outsiders seldom see them and think the area is desolate.
