Many of you know this is my all-time favorite thing to do... walking on the farm with my furkids... allowing them to run free and allowing them to enjoy being "dogs"...

Humor me ... I'd like to share some pictures with you...

1)  Bailey goes NOWHERE without his kong...

2)  Bailey doing what he SO loves to do -- climbing to the top of the hay bales (freshly cut hay this week!)

3)  Bailey continuing up the haybale.

Nora, I love your photos of all your dogs. It feels so good to just let the dogs "go" and knowing that they won't stray away. I really enjoy my walks with Amos.

These pics are so awesome. All your dogs are just so cute. How in the world does Bailey climb that? Is the sticking his paws in the hay? Oh Alice totally wants to try!!


The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

what a great little pack you have Nora. I love it when mine can romp around and be free- make me happy seeing them happy like that. The hale bales look like so much fun. Wonder if Chloe would climb one.

Tracey -- bales like that are about $100 each... (expensive!). This is not something I trained Bailey to do.... he is just a dog who has always loved to be up high. I'm very very careful not to allow him to jump off for fear he could easily break a leg. So I allow him to climb up and then I get him and carry him down. He has learned to wait for me to do this, and not attempt to jump down. He jumps and digs his claws into the hay and pulls himself up the rest of the way as you can see by the second picture. It's quite comical actually.
