'Staycation' all you've ever wanted? |
On Golden Pond Roux and Rex Best Doggone Buddies
I can't think of anything I enjoyed more than just relaxing at home and watching my dogs play in the ponds around our house.
Rex a Golden Retriever and Roux an Australian Shepherd Mix, explored the fields and ponds everyday. They chased the wild ducks and geese, barked insanely at the frogs jumping all around them. During the summer evenings they could here the old bull frog croaking and race out the front door to catch him. They never did...
Occasionally Puppi , my ShihTzu, would join them.
Often I would take a book and the dogs to the pond. Occasionally I would get to read, but most often there were sticks to be thrown so they could retrieve, over and over again.
They would walk beside me through the fields checking out the wild flowers and plants.
Living near Washington DC, I often had the opportunity to go into town. Most often I chose a staycation in my own back yard and relished the time at home alone, doing just what I wanted t do.
The duck is only a decoy!
