We have had a great time with Bob and Patty, they are very nice folks. It was a great several days, with some great new friends. Lots of conversation, laughter, stories, and (great) food.
Here are some photos from our days at Spring Creek.
This following picture does no justice to the turn of events that lead to Bob in the irrigation ditch. Let me see if I can paint a picture for you.
Bob attempts to walk a 104 lb. Chocolate Lab across a cattle guard that spans the mighty irrigation ditch. The only way to cross the grate with Stinky in tow is to walk across a narrow piece of mesh on the far edge of the cattle grate. About half way across, the lab decides it wants into the water, and that it can't wait until it reaches the other side. It leaps from the edge of the cattle guard, still attached to its leash, which in turn is still attached to Bob's arm. Bob stumbles trying to regain his balance but the determination of this lab overpowers Bob's fight to stay dry. Bob falls backwards from the cattle guard, leash still in hand. After surfacing, and regaining his breath he realizes the dog just pulled him from his perch 4 feet above the surface of the water. The remaining 4 of us "dry folk" bit our tongues to keep from laughing. The humor of the turn of events overcame Patty and she decided to snap a few pictures of Bob trying to return to shore, with his flip flop in hand. Bob suffers from a bruised ego, a lost hat, a good scrape to his forearm and ankle, and the ridicule of what will soon to be all Heartland owners nationwide.
Without further ado....
