Fun Facts & Spring Hikes

Hello again from your pal Mo!  Susan has been taking me on some awesome hikes.  The spring flowers are bloomin’ everywhere and that makes for happy trails!  Here’s a picture of me in some flowers that Susan says are Lupines.  It’s terrible how camera shy I am.  I don’t know why, I just hate having my picture taken.

Fun K9 Fact:  Did you know that us amazing dogs can see more than black and white?  We can also see blue and yellow.  Now Susan has been asking me if that mean I can also see green?  The answer is … “Woof”.  Yes I can but not like humans.  My retinoids are missing the red cones, so I see green but not like a human.

Today we went for a hike at Cronan Ranch and the hills were covered with all sorts of flowers!  I could smell them and a million other scents too.  Here’s another fun fact about us canines:  We have over 300 million scent receptors in our crazy noses.  While Susan and other humans only have 5 million.  So I can smell a lot more than you, ha ha.  Susan also tells me I’m kinda smelly, but I don’t know what she’s talking about.

Here’s me with all the yellow common goldfield flowers on the hillside at Cronan Ranch.  We also got to see a working dog herding sheep.  He gave a bark out letting us know to stay away.

There are a lot of fun fact about us dogs.  Here’s a little chart and there are a bunch more on the AKC website.

Here’s Susan most recent painting of a pup named Charlie.  I sure wish I could play with some of the amazing dogs Susan gets to paint.

That’s all for this news-bark.

 Keep your tail a waggin’!

Bark for now.  Your pal, Mo
