Luna, A Glorified Country Dog?

Well, to be honest, I don’t know if we can officially call Luna a ‘country dog’ quite yet.  During this Thanksgiving week, we traveled 4+ hours through the beautiful Cascade Mountains to visit with my parents in their newly retired home of Omak, Washington.  Now Omak is certainly not an unfamiliar city to our family, as my father spent most of his youth growing up in the small quiet town.  Farms, cowboy boots, and desert-like scenery…?  It’s honestly hard for me to explain what the city is like, even though I spent many summers as a child visiting my Grandparents.  Omak is located in the Okanagan Valley, at the foot of the Okanagan Highlands, along the Okanagan River (that’s a lot of Okanagans, no?) as it wends its way down toward the Columbia. Omak is also known for it’s famous Omak Stampede and World Famous Suicide Race.

Besides enjoying the typical Thanksgiving traditions, Luna spent many hours galloping freely in the crisp mountain air.  With no care in the world, she just ran and ran, and ran.

 

Of course, once the cooking started, Luna had to resort to her usual begging routine.

She even managed to locate all of the doorstops in my parents house, and amused herself almost as much as she amused us.

Luna, we have some door stops at our house that are just waiting for you to play with and have some fun. Our momma showed them to us and we didn't know what to do. We need your help☺

Luna, you are the cutest country dog, and I love your new door stop technique of laying down while you do it! Thanks for making me smile today...

ViVi & I greatly enjoyed this Thanksgiving post! ViVi no longer is interested in the doorstopper. It once was a favorite passtime of her's when she was 8-9 weeks old.

I'd say upper crust country. :)
Love seeing the door stops make a comeback. Do you think Luna would dig a slinky?

[Elizabeth]

Thanks everyone! Yes Luna is quite comical ;) A slinky? That might be fun!
