We never know what we’re going to come across on our weekend adventures. This weekend it was a gravel pit with a piece of big equipment sitting there.

Having seen nothing but forest and trees the first hour; this was quite an entertaining find.

Hubby tells me it was a 966 Loader.

I thought these pictures were kind of cute.

Vince really wanted to climb up the stairs to the cab (he often rides with hubby in a Kenworth) but we didn’t think the workmen would appreciate paw marks all over their equipment so I got him down before hopped up there.

Hubby also said something about this being a 4 yard bucket. Said it could have been bigger, he wasn’t quite sure how they measured them.

Vince doesn’t know what slow means and he’s pretty black so he was hot. When he got the release he darted out of there and headed for the prime shadier spot.

Chucky wasn’t adding any harmony to the obedience session so he didn’t get in these pictures.

Just thought I’d share a little of the fun we had.

Really good pics! Looks like a good time was had by all!

Thanks Becky, they really are a fun bunch of adventurous souls and they seem to get challenged almost anywhere we go.

Can’t think of a more enjoyable group to be spending time with, and yeah, that includes hubby too.

Great pictures, CJ! The trio in the bucket is a favorite!

That was fun CJ, thanks for sharing the pictures!


Hey, incidentally, did you ever get a shot of the Tuffy Dinasour you won from LB a while back?

Just curious how that lasted with your pack? I still haven't parted with the cash for one of those.
I would love to see a picture of that if you had one.

Sorry for the late response guys, agility night. Gosh that's fun.

Tammy thanks and yes, that was my favorite too. Was thinking about maybe making it my signature pic but they’re all so dirty. They were playing in streams and then this sand. They did have a lot of fun though and I guess that’s kinda what blue collar dogs are all about.

And Joyce, yes, I’m so sorry. The pictures are coming. Video even. If I weren’t so technically challenged I’d have put a bit up already. Long story but I ended up messing up a bunch of stuff on my youtube acct while I was trying to do some editing and just haven’t gone back. I do have somebody that will put it all together though. He said just bring it to him when I’m done filming. So it will be kind of a birth to death type of thing.

And just a bit of an update: Tuffy is still “relatively” in one piece. Mind you, he is a very “managed” member of our family. He comes out in the open with body guards securely in place. And never, ever in the house again when the boys are watching. We lost a small table lamp but the TV survived and it really, really hurts when you get thumped by him.

Joyce, if you’re thinking about getting one, I would not hesitate to recommend this toy. It’s sturdier than I ever imagined.

Mental image of Dogs vs Destructive Dinosaur just made my night

Ha ha… glad you got a chuckle Amy. It is kind of funny now but at the time, over 300 lbs of dogs, in my living room, wanting to kill almost 3 feet of rock solid, flying dinosaur was not a good time.

Tuffy sure is holding his own though, great quality toy.
