Gunnr enjoys going for a ride:

He hops right in the cab when you open the door...

It's hard to tell by the expressions he makes,

but he really does enjoy riding along...

He looks so serious...

He snuggles right next to Brad as they drive along

down the gravel road...

Regardless of the look on his face,

he truly does love to go for a ride!

Trail Camera.......What is this?

The trail camera has been up on the hill,

across the river from our house this summer...

We brought the memory card home and downloaded

the wild life videos...

In the past we have had elk, deer, 

coyotes and cougars.

There is something different this summer...

Turn up your speakers....there is sound:

The licking noise really made laugh!
