Duck, duck, duck....gosling.

The other day my mom to be took us on a walk along the river in hopes of seeing some ducks, ducklings, geese and goslings.  Now, the river is much farther than we normally walk but I was game to go if it meant being able to chase some waterfowl.

We walked...and walked...and walked...until finally we saw this

And this:

After taking a few pictures we turned around and headed for home. Mom was a little disappointed because when she went running along the same route the previous weekend she had seen at least 30 babies.  She really wanted to get more pictures of them.

But then! On the way home we saw more!

Look at this little guy stretching his baby wings:

So after being a good girl over the entire walk I was waiting for my chance to CHASE the geese. I pulled on the leash to try and hint to mom that I had some chasing to do!  Did she let me off leash!? Nooooo.  I walked FOUR MILES! For what! Noth-ing.  Mom tells me that the exercise was good for me - you know what exercise would be even better!? Chasing geese! Hmph.

On a brighter note, I would like to thank Agatha & Archie for their great post yesterday entitled "Toffee Rules and a fabulous day" - I am glad that you liked your goodies!  Now if only you could convince Riley that I rule - maybe then he'd stop bullying me and stealing my dinner!

Also, I would like to thank Candi for these very special awards!

A special woof out to Senator Kennedy and his family...he was just diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor after suffering a few seizures over the weekend.
