We hit the road friday, for a 3 hour drive north. to a family cottage, both dogs in tow. Blaze has been a few times. this was solos first trip any where outside our general area lol.

I just have to say, both dogs were amazing. Solo being a typical beagle, had to be tied up, but I used a 30 foot line for that. He was only offleash when swimming, or when we all could watch him. Blaze who listens, was able to run all day long out int he woods. i didnt have a worry, as he will come as soon as he is called.

Neither have been raised with children, but Ryans cousin has a 2 year old boy. And both were AMAZING with him. So gentle and sweet. let him do what they wanted to him. Ofcourse we didnt encourage pulling on them. but being a child he is quick. both tolerated him well. and loved all the free food he handed out to them all day long lol.

i wish i had the camera out when we first got there. We let the dogs out, with in 2 mins they both were in the lake, then I see solo out in the lake, swimming after 2 loons. my boyfriend freaks out, strips to his underwear and runs in after his dog. Lucky solo turned around and came back, and earned his tie out lol

Solo became BFFS with the next door neighboors mini poodle/ lab cross (mini doodle. gag)


If blaze wasnt int he woods. he was in the water.

Digging for rocks. which was a terrible idea. now ALL four of his feet are shredded thanks to zebra mussles in the water. this lake never used to have them, so i never thought of it. i wish i did. now he is all bandaged up at home lol

And grabbing a rock

he also loves to hang out while fishing lol




Blaze would randolmy humour solo for a game of play lol

I can't believe how big Solo has gotten! Is the collar he's wearing (with the circles) the one from CollarMania, I believe? I adore that collar! Has it held up well?

Looks like everyone had a blast!

No the collar is from etsy . its actually Blazes collar. i just needed a big wide one to stick the towel under, I have had this collar for 2 years now, its gets alot of use and has held out great

That looks like sooo much fun! I am so jealous. I want a lake to visit like that with my dog! Love it. The two of them really look like best of friends.
