Back In Touch With Wisconsin Nature...

Trilium

Yesterday, we took a drive to one of Handsome's old training grounds. He used to take our yellow Labrador, Morgan there to get in some water work. We hadn't been there in years, but he wanted to see if it was still available as a place to take Bella.

As we drove back into the woods, the road got bumpier....and Bella got more agitated. She's very accustomed to the "off-road" feel of getting to her training grounds in Florida, so by the time we got to the lake, she was actually whining and bouncing around in the back seat area. Tag was popping up, too, just to find out why she was so nutty.

It was delightful to find the training area as we'd remembered. It was a chilly and overcast day, so even though Bella would have taken off into the water without hesitation, we hadn't brought equipment for a training session. Bella would have to wait for another day.

All in all, it was a nice day for a drive in the country. We look forward to spending more time in this spot with both pups. It was also wonderful to drive through the rolling hills and farmlands of the Kettle Moraine...and revisiting the parts of Wisconsin we've always loved. There will definitely be more of that this summer.
