Happy Sadieday!

It's Sadieday so time for another stroll with me! I was so excited about this stroll that I showed you a preview on Wordless Wednesday but today we're actually going to go strollin' so grab your water and let's go!
Since it's such a beautiful day, I decided to take Mommy to the top of the world (or at least the top of a really big hill)...
She sure did a lot of complaining as we hiked the long, uphill trail but even she had to admit the view was worth it...
Our city is among all those trees in front of us and of course that's my cutie patootie directly in your view! Of course to balance out my cutie patootie, I have an even more cute face...
I hope you enjoyed our stroll to the top of the world hill today! Be sure to get out and enjoy the nature around your neck of the woods today too!

Have a Happy Sadieday!
Sadie

PeeS: Thanks to all who entered my canvas print giveaway! Mommy had me pick (she tried to get it on video but she's hopeless) and I pawed at two pieces of paper so Easy Canvas Prints let me give a canvas print to both Admiral and also to The OP Pack! Congratulations to the winners!

Wordless Wednesday

Off the Beaten Path... Way Off!

I hope you enjoyed going along on my Sadieday Field Trip yesterday! We had a great time and the adventures didn't end as we headed home. So get comfy and come along for the ride...

Mommy and Daddy thought it'd be fun to take a little side road and explore more of the area. Okay, it looks pretty so maybe this is a good idea...

But this may be a sign that it wasn't such a good idea...

The GPS is supposed to say "Acquiring Satellites" not "Locating Satellites". You know you're off the beaten path when there are no satellites to locate let alone acquire...

This isn't a good sign either...

Hope we aren't out here as long as this guy has been...

Are we there yet?

We eventually made it out of the woods but it took so long I had 6 treats, 2 refills on my water bowl and 1 potty break (which of course meant sniffing all the fun forest smells).

Moral of the story is to make sure you have plenty of treats and water with you when you travel since you never know where your path may lead you!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Sadieday Field Trip!

Yay it's Sadieday and today we're going on a Field Trip! It's going to be a big day so let's get a move on! We're going to Marys Peak and will be on a narrow trail with a steep drop off so make sure your mommy stays on leash so she doesn't go tumbling over the edge.

The trees are really tall so let's stop a moment...

and take in the view...

Now we've come above the trees...

From up here we can see the Willamette Valley and Cascade mountains to the east...

and the Pacific Ocean on the horizon to the west...

and one really cute husky - ME!

Okay, I know this is Sadieday and not Caturday but we actually met a cat (yes, a cat!) on the way down from the summit of Marys Peak. The cat's name is Freak (seriously) and she was walking her dad on his leash. He carried her when I came close though but of course Mommy stopped to talk to them and pet Freak.

Mommy found out that Freak loves to go on hikes and she also loves to go to the ocean and even gets in the waves two or three times before she gets too cold and wants to come out. Do you know anybody else who loves to go on hikes and to the ocean and who is exceptionally cute?

Yep, this is Sadieday no matter how Sadie-like that Freak may be!

Be sure to come back tomorrow to see what happens after we head home from our hike!

Stroll with Sadie!

I'm taking over the blog today to take you on a cool hike that I went on with Mommy recently! We don't get out much during the day lately so it was real exciting for me!

Uhm, Mommy, that leash is messing with the tail action.

Of course Mommy has to include a boring scenic shot of the valley but I made sure there was actually something interesting to look at!

I hope you enjoyed our hike and seeing my cute hiney!

Enjoy your Saturday!

An Evening Stroll

Our temperatures are coming down making for cooler evenings which are perfect for a walk around the neighborhood. I took my camera along on our last evening out and decided to share some of what we seen beginning with these beautiful wild daisies.

Our dog, Sadie, always leads the way down the trails. She loves all the things to explore in nature. Her tail never stops wagging!

Smoke from the wildfires in California has made its way north to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The haze is in the air every day and is affecting the Olympic track trials going on in Eugene this week. Of course dealing with the smoke is much better than what they are dealing with in California and I hope they get the fires controlled very soon.

We always see at least one deer along the way. This time we saw two. We live in a fairly populated area, however, it borders a forest so it's common to see deer in yards and even exploring our cul-de-sac from time to time. This time of year they stay up near the trees more where it's cooler.

Nature is so beautiful. Be sure to take the time to enjoy it!
