We took the dogs to a nearby park on the Chattahoochee River.  They loved running in the woods, but found the water a little frightening,  Drew and John made good progress at teaching them to fetch in the water.  We definitely need to go again!

Gopher loved the car ride, and both dogs enjoyed walking in the woods with their boys.

Obligatory family shots.  In this case, the boys insisted we submit to the lens as well.  Look- Drew's braces are gone! (Came off Thurs., Sept. 6)

Even the proximity of a flock of geese didn't attract Blizzie to the water.  So Drew and John threw her in.

Many thrown sticks later, Blizzie made it up to her knees (?) to fetch

Gopher immediately adopted his "Superman" pose in the muddy river edge.  And he gradually edged into the deeper water.

Drying off at the end of a fun adventure.
