Sansa

This was a fun walk along the river. Bear & Friends were there but I didn’t really take many pictures... just out enjoying nature and good company.

As you can probably tell by this point... we’re big fans of state and national parks. I’m a nerd and I like to collect National Park stamps and wander around with my dog.... who enjoys nature, meeting new friends, and sniffing new things. We spent the next few days hanging out with Bear, his human, and another close friend. All of whom Sansa was happy to hang out with. I kept hoping that Bear’s enthusiasm for riding in a car would wear off on Sansa but she still doesn’t enjoy it much.

We had so much fun with Sweetie Pie and Susan (Sweetie’s human). Sansa has a lot of fun being a mountain dog and following Sweetie Pie’s lead.

After being chased around by one of the smallest dogs Sansa had ever seen (That I did not get a picture of because I was laughing too hard) she got to meet Maynard. Maynard had to be restrained because he would not stop licking her ears and face and would not take any dog “back off” signals.

We don’t have much service so it had been hard to post but today we went to the waterfall. It was a fun obstacle course of fallen trees and slippery rocks. Sweetie Pie (my god dog of 7 years) joined us for our hike.

I love going here because it is so different from everywhere else... and usually there isn’t a lot of people. I miss the mountains.

LoL she was so unsure of it and didn’t want to step in for awhile but was soon running wild.

We were both out of breath, but she kept looking at me like, “ya gonna make it mom?” -_-; yes dear.

Sansa was so wonderful and kept checking in to make sure I was there and didn’t wander too far. It took her forever to actually play with Keta (and it was helpful that Keta was so outgoing and actively kept trying to get her to play... and not giving up). It was fun watching Keta rocket around.

Guess who is feeling pretty after getting “the works™️”?!?! Sansa is feeling pretty! The groomer said that she was absolutely wonderful and so calm and ok with everything and she was such a good girl!

Sansa is feeling super sketchy about this whole grooming situation. Especially that weird fake dog in the doghouse.

I love rain and muddy puddles! 🌧 ☔️ —— (she doesnt know what’s coming 🛁🧼🧽)

Also, I had locked Panda out during the whole process and she kept pacing the fence. She had been really worried and was happy to see Sansa was ok.

Sansa found some dry sand/silt on the sidewalk (from when the river flooded recently) and she immediately needed to dig in it. She LOVES soft soil.

Lizzie (Sansa’s Mom) is also a working farm dog! On the same farm! She is so gentle and sweet and also ready to jump to her pups defense if the other farm dogs get too rowdy with them. I’ve only seen her in her mom role. Lizzie is half Great Pyrennes and half Karakachan dog.
