I tried posting some random photos the other day, but it wouldn't go through. Just tidbits of our hikes over the last week or so.

We found where the ducks are seeking refuge (some of the only open water around this time of year). She's spotted them in the picture above. Went in shortly after.

Bella and her "boyfriend" left each other scavenger hunt messages on the trails since they couldn't hike together that weekend.

Play session!

She loves to saw through rope toys. Thought we had a contender here. This was what I have referred to as the "wrecking ball". Sad (or not so sad) to report...the wreckign ball is no more

Just a few phone snaps:

She loves deep snow

Bella and her boyfriend :)

GSP gang - in too much of constant motion to actually capture a decent photo of them all lol

Being absurdly dramatic in response to having a tiny little cut on her foot wrapped, solely so she would leave it alone for a bit. What a ham.

Beautiful pictures! I had to laugh at the story about the wrecking ball. I have several of those and so far they have lasted pretty well, probably because my boy does like them so much. He is my distructo dog. I am not showing him the pictures of the results of a bit of GSP power and the wrecking ball as I am sure he would try to out do Bella What is it with toys and shorthairs? They so love to tear up and shread their toys.

You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area. I really love your pictures. I hope you have a photography business or something because you certainly have an eye for lovely photos.

 AWWwww!!   SO many GSP's!!   They are all so adorable!   Love the pics with the rope.......yep, our two tear up the ropes as well.  Amazingly, (and luckily), they don't swallow any of it.  They take pride simply in shredding it.  

I laughed so hard at the staring contest!   

The hiking pics are wonderful!!   Wish I could let my two loose like that.   I don't trust fully trust them yet.

She chewed the ends off the "wrecking ball" the first day or so but for the most park left the ball portion in tact because she really seemed to like it. So, we have actually had for quite some time. But, she finally just decided to go for it haha. She also doesn't eat bits she destroys, she too just enjoys the act of destroying :)

She knows several GSPs in town. All younger than her for the most part. Seems like within the past year they have just skyrocketed in popularity where we live. I think because it is such an active and outdoors focused community with so many options for a dog to be active with you. She was a great advocate for a lot of we knew (and some we didn't) people considering them. The black one in that photo is actually also full GSP with an undocked tail.

I am lucky to live in a beautiful place, but it's just as lovely in the Summer and I'm more than ready! We had another winter storm last night through today that is bringing inches of heavy wet snow. We almost guaranteed to get another one in April after everything has melted. I call it the annual "April Fools" snow storm. Mother Nature's way of letting us all think Spring was finally here and then pranking us.

 HaHa!  Yes, I know, my two are the same.  Maybrie is actually a better destoyer.  She chews on things all the time, especially now since I've had her couped up while her leg is healing.   I have purchased 4 wrecking balls.  They love to shred the string and then pick up the ball with their mouths and carry them around.  Not sure how they do that!   Maybrie has chewed up so many pieces of furniture, and I find the wood chips all over the floor.    I cannot wait until I can let her run free!  The walking 3 times a day, and other therapy modalities just aren't cutting it..  

You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place, with so many other GSP friends!   It's awesome.   I bet you are ready for summer!   I am too.   Houston is too cold for me right now!  It's just way too windy.  It's beautiful weather, light jacket, sunshine, but the wind is crazy!     It is spring though....windy is just part of it.   Looking forward to the summer!  Love the summer evenings.

Hope Summer comes around soon and the bad winter storms quit passing through.
