Communing with nature

Hi everyone! Mom says to tell you she's sorry that we haven't been very bloggy the last few days. She's been busy with work and football mom duties and taking care of ME and a bajillion other things we won't bore you with. I'm doing a LOT better and mom is giving me my drops as instructed, so I'll be ready for some new pics this weekend...BUT...we wanted to share some pics of the fun we had LAST Friday! Holden didn't have school (Teacher Development Day or something)so we got in the car....

...and went to MOUNDS PARK to hit the trails! YAY! I LOVE Mounds Park ESPECIALLY this time of year when the leaves are just starting to change! Check out this COOL picture that Holden took of the White River! Doesn't it look like a mirror?

Here are Holden and I on the trail!

There are a LOT of cool things to see and sniff at Mounds Park...

Here are mom and I posed with the "Knee Tree" (Holden thinks it looks like a big knee)

I chased a chipmunk up a big hill, but lost him!

Here is a picture of me with one of the actual mounds!

These mounds are just big hills that are believed to be built by the Adenma and Hopewell people somewhere around 150 BC (which we can't even wrap our heads around in DOG years!). They were used for religious ceremonies and to keep track of the seasons, stars and moon. Very cool...kind of like a Pug calendar before they were invented!

Oooohh...guess where I am NOW?

In the log canoe with Holden!!!!

Hi S-Dog - Glad to hear that you are all better - great pics from your trip last week. I guess there is no chance you will find a Salinger sign.
Enjoy your weekend!!

Oh, I's so glad to hear you's doing better! That looked like a fun outing. My Mom should take me on adventures!

Have a good weekend!

LOVE the phots. Ooo...the mounds are very coool. I've read quite a few romantic/fantasy novels that take place on or about those mounds! Well, not THOSE mounds, but the native american mounds that are in the US and abroad. Very cool!

Salinger dude - you don't look so happy riding in the car. Is that because your mom wouldn't let you drive?

That park looks really neat. It's very cool of Holden to want to spend his day off of school with you.

Mom took today off from the zoo and she is spending it on the computer. Go figure. Maybe she will take me for a walk later.

Salinger buddy! We are so glad to hear that you are feeling better. Are you being a good boy and letting mom give you the drops? Our mom has to wait until we are half asleep so she can put our drops in our eyes. You look super handsome in your photos especially the first one. We just noticed your id tag is that a Colts tag? It's pawesome.

Lots of Licks--

Pee. S.- To answer Mom's email question, Yes Swisher only has one eye. When he was a puppy he was out on a walk with mom and a mean dog with no leash attacked him. The mean owner didn't even give mom any money for the Dr bills. But losing an eye doesn't slow him down one bit.
