For today's post, I thought I'd take you on an afternoon walk with the boys, Mom and myself. Please right click here, open it in another tab, and let it play in the background. Ready?
Near the beginning of our walk, there is a big hill we go up. I usually go over and herd Mom to help her out.
Get along, Mom!
That's not the best picture of us, but you get the idea.
Our water tower is up at the top of that hill. Here's Dave, striking a pose:

I think our city should use that in its tourism brochures, don't you?
We love getting to the top of the hill, then going down the other side, then exploring what's on the other side and stuff. Some of our friends saw this next picture on FaceBook, but it's quickly become a favorite around here - it's Zimmie flashing his million-dollar smile, showing Mom how much he loves our walks:
Zim
No matter how far we go, Dave is never ready to turn around and head home - no matter how tired he is or anything! Here he is heading back up the far side of the water tower hill:
Dave and me - Ammy!
Mom said this is one of the times when she needs my herding skills the most. I told Davy to stop being such an Eeyore (you know who I mean!) and get up the hill! Mom said I am a great help to her!
Here I am on the home stretch, feeling happy and relaxed now that I got everyone back to Ao4 HQs, safe and sound:
Me - Ammy - almost home!
I love having a job - especially one involving herding! What jobs do you like doing?
Oh! And we keep forgetting to post this sunset picture from a couple weeks ago! It's a panoramic shot Mom took; you can click it and see a larger version on our FlickR site, if you'd like!

Thanks for coming on our walk with us; I hope you enjoyed it!
Love,
Ammy
We loved coming on your walk with you!! Thanks for inviting us! It is much sunnier there!! We're trying to pack up our snow to send to you, but we pack it, and then it disappears!!
ReplyDeleteWoofs and Kisses!

Very nice walking from The Little Apple (cool!)
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get the music because our sound is busted, but my Mom knows that song and she was singing it.
Kisses,
Stella
Yee-haw! I just love herding songs! I'm going to sing that one next time I round up my pengies!
ReplyDeleteGreat walkies! I don't blame Dave one bit, I like to keep going too. Mom gets furry clever about turning us back towards home, too. She even uses "I want to walk back and look at the sunset over the bay again" excuse!
jack a-roo & moo too
We came to your blog singing Rawhide!
ReplyDeleteWell of course only our mum was old enough to know the words....
That was a great walk. Where did the snow go?
love and kisses

It might just be me, but I think that moms get up hills much better if you pull them. But only at the beginning of the walk. After the halfway point, you have to switch to pulling down hills and walking slow up them. At least that's what my mom likes.

he he he! My J saw the title of this post first on facebook (whatever that may be when it is at home ;oD ) so she thought I might find a song to fit the title. Of course when we got here you already had the song!
ReplyDeleteWe loved walking with you virtually, it was just so good!
My J says the song on your post always makes her laugh out loud because she remembers the scene in The Blues Brothers, when they sang it in the Club.....one of her favourite films it seems.
Sorry I cannot think of a song to get on your Mama's mind today, I must go and have a snooze and a think about it.
I am sure I will come up with one tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing your walk Ammy, you are very good at your job.
ReplyDeleteOur jobs would preferably have to involve a tennis ball or a wubba...BOL
Our main job though is to keep the humans amused, they seem to get a lot of enjoyment from us for some silly reason. We don't get it but that's those daft humans for you....hehehe
We hope you all are having a fun week! :)
Awwwww Ammy....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great great post!!!!

And say thanks to your mommy for sharing with us that wonderful sunset photo!!!!!!
You guys are the best!!!!

My favourite job is doing quality control tasting on the roast chicken mum cooks. It's a tough job but somecat's gotta do it!
ReplyDeleteHuffs
What a beautiful sunset!
ReplyDeleteWe're getting pounded with snow today, guys! We're going to pick up a foot of the beautiful white stuff before this storm heads out!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Great sunset, thanks for the walk.
ReplyDeleteWizz :-)
Great walk, guys! Always enjoy seeing you having fun and keeping mom in line.
ReplyDeleteHow neat you're entering the Napping competition in the cat-o-lympics. Our Percy is entering that too.
The Little Apple....that made me laugh....a nearby city to us calls itself "The Palm Springs of Washington"....it cracks us up everytime because it is not even close. :)
ReplyDeleteKisses,

ReplyDeleteHope you guys had a fun walk

Herding sounds like a lot of fun but my favorite job of all time is being the taste tester even if dad doesn't mean to drop the food on the floor. :)
ReplyDeleteMochi
Hi, Ammy!
ReplyDeleteHerding sure is a hard job!
I was happy to join you all on your walkie today!
I made a post with pictures of the scary stairs!

Thanks for taking us on a walk with you. We haven't been on too many with all the snow and ice latly. We loved your water tower...Especially the furry object in front of it...Too cute!

Maybe you are a Border Sibe (sort of like a LabraDave). But with your great herding skills of Dave, maybe you are ready for the advanced task of herding a Rusty?
