Our favorite meadow has become very green and filled with dandelions. Maya loves it there, and had a blast running around.
There was also frisbee.
Silly Maya fact: like Zoolander, she is not an ambi-turner. Long ago, I taught Maya a "spin!" trick, where she spins in a counter-clockwise circle. All attempts to teach her a similar trick in the opposite direction have failed. If I even try to lure her in a clockwise circle, she falls over.
Thankfully, this difficulty only afflicts her during trick-training sessions. She is perfectly capable of rounding on the frisbee from either direction.
On our way back to the car, we ran into a surprise.
For those unfamiliar with the sight, that is a large bull elk. He was browsing busily, trying to add bulk and fuel the growth of his velvet-covered antlers. I put Maya back on her leash, just in case she got any stupid ideas, and we gave him a wide berth just in case he got ideas of his own. It was all very peaceful though, and we passed by with no more than a few wide-eyed stares from all parties.
I love spending time in the woods with my dog.
I love the action shots! And woah!! That elk looks huge!
