Bodey's 2nd Home

After 3 months of sharing our home and our

lives with our gorgeous yellow lab, Bodey, and

making him a member of our family, we

finally thought that he had his anxiety issues

under control enough that we ventured out to

our local park where there are trails wrapping

through the woods around several beautiful

lakes and also the winding White River. We have

known that Bodey would more than likely love it

here, but because of his unkown past and anxiety

around other dogs, we wanted to wait a little while

until we thought that he would be secure enough

with us to be able to enjoy these surroundings.

Bodey at first was definitely over-stimulated with

all of the new smells, sights, and sounds, but once
he caught a glimpse of that glistening water nothing

else was on his mind. In true lab form he trotted

straight into the river, lapped up a bit of water, and

then proceeded to plop down on the river bottom

making himself quite comfortable, as if to say

"I'm home."

It was quite the sight to see him so happy and

relaxed. I think that I enjoyed watching him almost

as much as he enjoyed just being around the water.

Here's some photos that I took while Steve walked

Bodey down along the edge of various parts of the

river and lakes. Sorry the images are not fantastic,

but I was taking pictures again with my phone since

it's not always ideal to carry around my big camera

with three kids and a 90lb. lab.....hope you ENJOY!!

Have a terrific Tuesday!
