The good dog dad
The good dog dad
I’m really not much of a blog post planner, I usually just wait for inspiration to happen, and then write. I was about to just say never mind on the See Beautiful blog hop this month, when this happened.
We moved to a great boondock spot in Island Park, Idaho on Tuesday. Tucked into the pine trees, lots of space, and no people. Our kind of spot. Tuesday evening we got the bikes and decided to go explore. Torrey got to do something she has never done before, run along side us, as we bike. I have a basket for Roxy, so she just gets to ride in comfort. Torrey had a blast. Wednesday morning Al wanted to go on a bike ride again, I was feeling like crap so I stayed home. But first I took some photos of Al and the dogs.
Torrey was all about going again.
Then Al turned around so I could get photos of her running at me.
Roxy looked like she wanted to go for a short run too. So Al rode around close by, and Roxy felt like she was joining in the fun.
Then, off he went with Torrey for a ride.
They came back with big, beautiful smiles. It’s easy to See Beautiful in the smiles of those around me. And it’s especially wonderful to have such a kind, and caring hubby, who is a great dog dad.
Check out all the other See Beautiful blog hop posts.
I’m sure this moment as they came back with their big smiles, was a super beautiful moment. and that was so nice to came close for Roxy :o) … I think I prefer Roxy’s way for bike tours, we only have to look for a basket what’s big enough, but the the idea sounds super comfy :o)
Roxy loves her bike basket, and it’s hilarious the way she looks down on Torrey as she runs along.
What fun! Glad everybody had a good time! What a gorgeous place to boondock. Hope you are feeling better Mary! Happy Seeing Beautiful!
It is a really nice place to boondock, and fun for the dogs.
I love your lifestyle. Mary, when a man cares so much for nature and the creatures around him, you know he is special. My husband too, he is gentle with any creature we find that has a broken wing, an orphan, or just needs his way back into the shrubry for protection. He is my hero, and Al has GOT to be yours. Oh the dogs, THEY KNOW when their masters love them!
HAVE FUN! Anita
He is my hero, and isn’t that the best feeling?
What fun, looks like they all had a great time running free. Cute pups! Have a happy weekend!
That’s awesome that you found a place where Roxy could run with the bikes. We’re in Vermont right now, and Dixie is able to be off leash, she loves it. We live in a small city and she can only be off leash in my yard.
Yes, being able to run off leash is Torrey’s favorite thing, Roxy too. They are having a blast.
Where we lived on the North Sea, everyone road their bikes and many had their dogs running along side. Mom did do it a few times with Katie, but decided she would rather run herself with Katie. Torrey seems to be having a real blast!
Torrey loves to run off leash, and she is having a lot of fun right now.
Such a lovely, heartwarming post! You do have a great hubby. The pups look SO happy, such an ideal life for all of you. I hope you’re feeling better.
Awww, thanks! I am feeling better thank you. And everyone is having a great time.
Love the story and the photos! Love Dolly
Seeing Roxy and Torrey both running with the bike was adorable. But my heart filled up seeing your first picture with Torrey looking up at Al as she ran. It was so expressive and beautiful.
So glad you decided not to skip the hop to. You really did capture some beauty.
That’s my favorite photo too, the way she is looking at him is so precious.
those are such carefree happy photos! I love them!
NOW THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND LOOK AT THOSE SMILES!!
HUGS MADI AND MOM
Oh Mary, yes…and our men also feel great when they know they are providing and being the leaders we all hope them to be! HAVE A FUN WEEKEND! Anita
I adore these photos. There is nothing more beautiful than man and dogs having fun together! A man who loves dogs is so special…you’ve definitely got a keeper there, Mary. But you knew that. :)
They both look so happy! That is beautiful!
Great post, Mary! I love seeing Roxy and Torrey having such a blast with your husband!
Sometimes the sweetest moments are the unplanned ones. I loved seeing the pure joy on Torrey’s face and your husband looks so happy to see the dogs enjoy themselves. Thanks for sharing these pics for See Beautiful!
