Ouch on the tick showing up so early!

Love the video of your pups! I also like that leash in the video! Had the 3 dogs out walking the park today, on leash since we saw a beautiful owl yesterday, but 3 separate leashes were a bit of a hand full.

Zip and I headed out hunting for morel mushrooms Wed afternoon and returned the wee hours of Sat morning, a camping trip with a purpose in the Cascades basically. So Zip and I hiked around hillsides for a few days hunting up and down the slopes of areas that had forest fires last Aug or Sept. Lots of ash and new growth, mostly the forest floor was burned with the ponderosa pine canopy still intact. It actually looked like in a few years mostly it'll look park like, with the underbrush cleared out and some new greenery coming in until, years later, the tree canopy matures and blocks the sun from the forest floor. Zip was enthusiastic each and every trip into the woods and there were lots of trips trying to locate morels and later actually picking some. Ended up with 2 gallons of the tasty morsels, not bad for the first successful trip!

Our first day home Zippy slept all day while I cleaned, cooked and dried our new found treasure. Sunday and today, he's like a brand new dog with more zest and zeal than he's ever had. He's been a very happy dog the last 5 months we've had him, this trip seems to brought his enthusiasm to a brand new level.

Beautiful pictures.
