But What About ME, Mommy?

So as I mentioned, My Mommy #2 has a SOMETIMES short memory. Why do I say this? Well, right after she apologized for NOT taking me hiking AND telling me how sorry she was, she went and did the SAME THING on the very next day.

Not the same place. This time she went to Half Moon Bay to visit her friend Auntie L and my FURiends, Pablo and Moose. Yes, you heard me right. She went to visit MY FURiends. Without me.

(Mommy's note: One of the reasons Noodles was not included in these excursions was she was not at home. She spent the whole weekend and all of Monday with her Mommy #1. That's right, she was livin' the vida COED)

Mommy took the train up the peninsula really really early in the morning. Auntie L picked her up in San Mateo and then drove over the hill to HMB. It was still sunny and mild at that point. It would cloud over and start to rain by early afternoon. BUT not before they had a nice LONG walk on the coast with the boys.

Here's the proof:

Ahhhh, all those negative ions feel so good

I think walking all that way means I get a treat

Who's Guilty?

This past weekend was so beautiful. It was clear and warm and yet there was a nice breeze. Welcome the SPRING. It also happens to be wildflower season around here and if you recall, Mommy loves to hike and look at wildflowers. So when Auntie B asked Mommy #2 if she wanted to hike on the weekend, she said SURE!

It was the perfect day for a hike.

Mommy and Auntie B chose the Sunol Regional Wilderness as their hiking spot mostly because it is a great place to see a lot of different wildflowers. They allow dogs there - some of our FURiends from Blogville have hiked there in the past. But Mommy figured the hike would be too hard and it might be a little too warm, so she chose to leave me at home.

I was fine with it, sorta. I love to walk with Mommy and Auntie B and I love the great outdoors, to be sure. But I also cannot walk quite as far as I used to when I was a young puppy. It just seemed better to leave me at home.

They saw a lot of wildflowers

Winter Vetch

California Poppy and Phlox

Yeah, Poppies

Not only did they see a lot of various wildflowers but they saw a lot of DOGS! Yes, the park was filled with happy pups hiking with their humans. And then Mommy saw a young couple with a small Frenchie in a backpack. And then she remembered SHE HAD BOUGHT ONE TO CARRY ME ON HIKES! Yes, you read that right. She could have totally taken me. I could have walked a while and then when I got too winded, she could have plopped me into the pack. Oh Mommy!

She is feeling a bit bad about that but not so bad the she didn't do it AGAIN!

Check tomorrow to see what I mean.
