An Afternoon up in the Canyon

Anthony and I took Bosco up the canyon. It was SO hot, so we decided to get in the river. This was Bosco's first time 'swimming.' Bulldogs can't swim because they are so top heavy, and their poor bodies just sink right to the bottom! So we figured a few inches of water would cool him down and let him feel like a real dog who could swim!

Isn't he the cutest pup? I think he was freezing despite all of his fur. The water was SO cold!

Bosco gets winded after about two minutes of walking. Bulldogs are not known for endurance, so it's always a task to get him to go on walks. We were ambitious by making him walk up the canyon.

So once we found a nice place to rest, Bosco decided to gather all the pine cones he could find! He sniffed around the trees and brought them back to where we were sitting. There are tons more behind him--you just can't see them lol

It was a relaxing and fun afternoon, and I am glad we live in such a beautiful place. They have a little food stand that opened a ways up the canyon that serves hot dogs and root beer floats. We are getting those next time!
