We met up with Dogthusiast who was in town for a conference and Mr. N and Sage proceeded to show her dog, Mort the wonders of being an Oregon dog. Complete with mud. Hiking, swimming and general frolicking at Thousand Acres.
We totally forgot to get a group shot and the dogs were in constant motion so I think this was the only non-blurry photo with all three dogs.
Mr. N blends right into the background. He needs a visibility vest or something. He did stay cooler than the black-coated members of our party though.
It was a hotter-than-predicted day so all three dogs were panting by the time we reached the river. Sage and Mort quickly remedied that by plunging into the river which was an attractive chocolate milk color that day.
The dogs were perfectly happy to spend the rest of the day playing but the humans needed a break and food after a while so we headed back. Plus everyone had mud on them.
What do you think, Mort? Is being an Oregon dog better than being a California dog?
LOL! You said a shot of all three and we only saw two, read the line below and did discover the camouflaged dog Mr. N. Looks like a ton of fun and Sage always loves some good mud. Way to exercise! Thanks for joining FitDog Friday!
ReplyDeleteHe blends at the beach too. It's hard keeping track of him sometimes!
DeleteMr. N sure does blend in. lol Maybe just an orange collar to increase his visibility. Brown dawgs would have enjoyed that water. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's so fluffy that you can barely see his collar anyway. He probably needs a full vest to make any impact. The brown dawgs would have loved the water!
DeleteLooks like it was a great day, lots of fun in the muddy river!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time - we love swimming in chocolate milk! Thanks for joining the Hop and sharing your adventure Mr. N.
ReplyDeleteBOL! What a blast of a time, we would have loved to join you - mud and all!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the shot with the stick!
ReplyDeletehehe! Had to laugh about the chocolate milk swim! Mr. N sure does camouflage well!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like everyone had a great time. I think it's very cool when bloggers get to meet up. So much fun!

It looks to me like Mort would love being an Oregon dog....he fit right in with Mr. N and Sage for sure!

Wow! He really does blend in! I never have to worry about Barley blending in--her tail never stops wagging, so the white tip is like a little flagging signaling "Here I am!" I'm such an overprotective, helicopter mama that I'd be stressed all the time and be constantly hovering over Mr. N to make sure I didn't lose him :)
ReplyDeleteWell in Mr. N's case, the grass is often taller than him so that wouldn't help either! He is pretty velcro so he usually stays where I can see him but it does take some work to spot him sometimes. Hence the vest.
DeleteI drove to Portland for the conference too. Wish I had been able to meet with you guys.
