Another Dog Walk

Today, the boys and I went to Placerita Canyon. I only wanted to take the Murph, but the other boys looked so sad that I had to take them too. It's not easy walking three dogs.

I wanted to take the trail to the waterfalls, but Murphy couldn't get up the stairs, so we took the river walk instead. I'll have to go back some time and get photos of the falls. It's unbelievably gorgeous.

It always amazes me that this is not only Los Angeles, but just a few minutes from my house.
This is ceanothsus below. It's also known as California lilac. It sort of looks like lilac, but without the fragrance.
This is Murphy Dear looking happy. He had a little sneezing fit during the walk and got a nose bleed. Murph doesn't pay any attention to people or dogs that we pass on the trail, but he also doesn't get out of the way. He walked past another hiker and left a streak of blood on his pants. The hiker didn't notice and I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to do.
The grass is so bright green that I can't imagine that Ireland is any greener.
All three boys love the water. It seems fitting that Goldens should drink gold- flecked water.
Tongues are hanging out in the longest position.
