Road Trip!

We went back to Mouth of Wilson, VA again today. After weeks of rain, we were blessed with the most glorious warm and sunny day. Luke and I could not resist, so we loaded up and took off. I have been putting in long hours and I haven't had much time to spend with Luke, so we needed a Road Trip!

We went back to our favorite spot on the New River, where I took Luke on his birthday. I spread out a blanket, stretched out and let Luke roam around, explore and sniff. He's an inside dog for the most part, so when he's outside he gets "lost" in the unlimited new scents of nature and traces of wildlife. That's what a Golden Retriever lives to do!

After we soaked up some rays, we took out our trash bag and cleaned up the road side and river bank. I'm pretty sure that the place by the river that I like to park is on private property, and I know one day the owner will "catch" us. I guess I figure how mad can he get if he catches me picking up litter? Seems like a pretty fair trade.

Besides, who could stay mad for very long with a friendly old Golden Retriever wagging his tail at you?
