Thursday thoughts with Torrey
Thursday thoughts with Torrey
The typist today is of course, Torrey.
Yesterday dad wanted to go to the big shitty, er…. the big city, so mom decided to take Roxy and I for some more hiking fun. We took off from the house with no particular destination in mind, always a great plan you know. Hee -Hee
We wandered down one of the many trails, and then climbed up a hill. We had a great view of the valley. There is a lot of space out here. No wonder we see so many critters.
Ok mom, we saw that. Let’s go.
We found some new desert flowers that just started blooming. This flowers are TINY. Cute though.
Then mom got distracted finding more turquoise. Sheesh…every time we go walking around out here, she ends up picking up rocks. Apparently they are her favorite rock, she loves the color and all that. Whatever, it’s a rock.
I’ll wait here in the shade while you go rock hounding…..again. I don’t mind waiting in the shade, and the ground here is like a lawn almost. There is a lot of green grass, and small plants growing here.
Just let me know when we can get back to walking. I’ll just chill for a while.
Ready?…..Really??
Alright…let’s go then!
Another fun morning hike, what more does a dog need?
Today is the Barks and Bytes blog hop.

What fun!!! You found all of those beautiful rocks!! They are gorgeous!! Love the little yellow flowers too. I’ve been wondering….do you ever see snakes out while you are hiking? That’s one of the things that is a bit scary to me!
I’m going to knock on wood, and say no. Right now they are still hibernating.
Great hike and we loved the colour of the rocks. They are fabulous. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
Thanks for sharing the color! And what a faithful dog – waiting so patiently. Amazing what humans will cart home, isn’t it :-)
Mom wanted me to ask if you ever see snakes out there? She would be afraid of running into rattlers. You better also be careful about that rock collecting. Someday you may find yourself wearing a doggie backpack so you can carry her rocks :) Looks like a fun walk and better than going to the city for sure!
No snakes……knock on wood. Right now they are still hibernating, which is good. Hopefully, mom will never make me carry rocks. I can see that happening though.
Have you seen any horned toads? Reggie almost killed our rabbit the other day. Mike and I were out playing with the dogs in the back and didn’t realize cotton was under the trailer. She ran and that was all Reggie needed to chase the poor rabbit almost to death! Ollie stayed still and watched with me in horror as I was yelling Reggie I will kill you! Get back here you @!$*)_!!^&*)! Dumb Reggie! Call the Dog Whisperer!
oh my! The turquoise is my fave! Have never seen it “natural” like that, gorgeous!

What a great walk! Too bad your mom can’t mine those rocks! Love Dolly
Hi Y’all,
Just stopped by to catch up with y’all! Looks like a fun place to hike; maybe a bit hot. Do y’all have much problem with rattlers around there?
Y’all come by now,

I share your mom’s interest in rocks, Torrey. I’ve found some unusual specimens during hikes, my favorite was a big sparkling hunk of pink quartz. And I agree with her evaluation of “cities” – I don’t like them either, I’d rather be hiking any day! All the photos of you are beautiful (how can they not be with you as the subject?!), but we love that first one! :D
Gorgeous pics. Looks like a fun, gorgeous day. I’ve never seen turquoise “in the wild” like that before. Cool! :)
Humans do get distracted by some of the silliest things. But rocks? Those are not silly at all.
Oh I love Thursday’s Thoughts with Torrey, that you called it the big shitty, that the photo says “the little dog laughed” (perfect caption by the way) all the beautiful photos and that you joined the blog hop!! Thank you so MUCH!!
I love the “Little Dog Laughed”! It is just adorable. What beautiful scenery you have in that area. Great place for a walk! I have never seen natural turquois either … very cool.
Such a pretty place! And those rocks are a lovely color.
Nola
Love the bright color in those rocks!!!!
And you look hilarious laughing like that!!!!
Such a happy pup!

Thanks so much for joining Barks and Bytes. :) What a fabulous walk. I don’t think you should be too hard on your mom for stopping to pick up such pretty rocks. :)
Those tiny flowers, I get why you like macro photography :) By the way, do you ever get lost wondering around without a plan?
What a great hike, and great photos of you enjoying yourself, Torrey.
