Thursday thoughts with Torrey
Thursday thoughts with Torrey and a nice fall hike
Yesterday mom decided that since we are supposed to get rain, we had better go hike up our favorite local canyon while the colors are beautiful. It was a nice sunny day, and perfect for walking. This favorite canyon of ours, is really close to were our house used to be. So mom thought a little memory test for Roxy and I was in order. Mom is always amazed that no matter how long it’s been since we have been somewhere, we always remember. Like driving to one of the grandmas, we start getting excited WAY before we even get to their block. It’s been over a year since we moved out of our house, so mom decided to do a drive by. Yep, we were excited and whining about a mile from the house. We knew the road that led up to the house still. After we realized that it was just a drive by, we calmed down. Then we got to the canyon, and we remembered that. So we got excited all over again! That’s OK, we had a wonderful walk.
Mom said the colors were beautiful. Me, I thought the smells were great!!
Mom has strict rules on running after wildlife, and it’s sooooo hard to be good. There are always so many squirrels around.
Oh well, another day, another chance at those squirrels. It was just awesome to be out on such a great sunny day.
It is amazing how well dogs remember people and places, whether good or bad!
Mom says it’s a bit uncanny, and maybe dogs are way smarter than people think.
My mom is always amazed at how we remember everything too! It is beautiful but this is the time of year where there is so much beauty! Wildlife chasing is against our rules too, but I could care less about the rule and I chase when I can, my sister Katie is a better follower of the rules. I just can’t shake my hunting instinct and I think Bailie may be even worse than I am.
Well Emma, I never said I always followed the rules. BOL.
We agree….we remember places we haven’t been to for ages. Your Fall colours are lovely. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly

So glad you got to go back to a favorite spot and enjoy the fall colors. Your mom is getting sooooooooo great with picture taking. I love the photo with the red and yellow in it. It should be made into an 8×10 and framed for my wall in my art studio to look at while I’m working on gourds. Love and hugs aunt Mary
That certainly is a beautiful place to walk
You two have such a great life! Love Dolly
We are pretty lucky Dolly, but so are you!
What a beautiful place to be!
We are still all green here, so we enjoy your change of colors.
looks like it was a great walk for everyone :)

I love the picture of both of you together! So cute! I don’t think I’ve seen any with the two of you together.
Thanks for sharing!
It always amazes my peeps how I sit up in the back of the car before we just get to our destination. They really don’t know how clever we are :) xxooxxxx
Mollie and Alfie
They must not. But we are super smart, aren’t we Mollie.
It is amazing how dogs remember places! (Our beagle would never forget any spots where she once found some food on the ground!) Looks like a lovely walk! LOVE the fall!
Gorgeous! I’ve heard that dogs don’t contemplate the past, but they still have excellent memories.
What a stunning place!

You take the best photos and what a beautiful portrait display this is!
Beautiful! The yellow flowers and red leaves are so pretty… We are expecting rain here for the next week I think. =/
Torrey & Roxy…What a beautiful adventure. I know you both enjoyed it, even though it sounds like mom was a little bit of a killjoy.
Those colors are beautiful
Stop on by for a visit

Wow, it is beautiful there. I see why you’ve been in the same spot for a while. It’s your old stomping grounds. It is amazing how well dogs remember places, even if you go there for only a few days out of the year. We tend to “make the rounds” to our favorite places every summer… and no doubt, the dogs remember each one in great detail.
Thanks for sharing those spectacular photos.
What a beautiful day! How nice you got to visit the place where you used to live, and enjoy the walk in the canyon. Our beagle Kobi used to spend time with our elderly neighbors….they have been gone for years and years now, but when we walk by their former house, he still wants to go into their yard! You dogs have great memories.
