Rocky's Barn Visit

I think a barn counts as outdoors. So I'm linking up with A Southern Daydreamer for "Outdoor Wednesday". Take a look at everyone's blogs after looking at mine (of course : ))


Yes, it's my day off but I had to deliver Michele's birthday gift to her because I won't see her on Thursday. I had Rocky in the car from when I had taken him shopping with me! Michele was working with Satire in the arena when Rocky and I arrived.


The arena is terrible dusty from not being able to water it in the frigid temps. By Thursday, the arena hose should be thawed out and I'm hoping to get it done then.


Rocky watches and sniffs . . . and sniffs and watches.


He should remember horses because when he was young and was at the trainer (for hunting), they hunted him on horseback. They use horses with the English pointers because they are far running dogs and so fast.


Satire's not impressed.


Well, come-on!


The rest of these pictures are blurry; sorry! Rocky is just too fast moving in this barn light with my point and shoot camera!
Look at Preacher's ears! He looks threatening but really wasn't.


Echo's head is almost bigger than my whole doggie!!


Sniff, sniff


Rocky isn't all that impressed either. He gets much more excited over a chipmunk!
