Waterloo, Eddy Discovery Center Trails.  Of course, he was happy to roll around in the dirt and dig.

     

   

     

He also relaxed on the boardwalk at the bog for longer than usual.

     

   

   

The two beagles we commonly see were barking at the bog and got Lyle riled up.  Several weeks ago, he learned he could howl, and did so after hearing a dog barking outside.  I haven't heard him do it again until today, when he let out two long howls after hearing those beagles.  The first photo below shows him howling.

   

Here he is near the end of the day, tired, but not too tired to dig and roll around!

Lyon Oaks.

 

   

   

   

     

 

     

There was an area full of wild phlox.  Here is the first photo shoot.

     

     

     

     

   

     

We went around one of the smaller loops and returned to the flower area again for a second photo shoot in slightly different lighting.

   

   

     

     

     

   

     

     

I asked Lyle to check out this tree cavity and he did.

 

   

These were taken in the field part of the trail near the lot.  Lyle was watching airplanes, which is why he's looking up in some of the photos.

This squirrel was glaring at us because the feeder was empty.

Maybury State Park.

 

   

       

 

   

   

 

   

He was tired tonight.

Lyle loves little kids!

Just lounging around in the family room late a little after midnight (technically, it was the 31st).

   

 

March 29, 2019

Just lounging around in the family room around 11pm.

   

 

March 23, 2019

It's finally warm enough to go to the park.  Waterloo, Eddy Discovery Center trails.

Eating snow and playing with his rope.

     

   

     

   

     

     

 

February 18, 2019

Playing with his rope in the snow and running around.

     

     

   

The third photo below is my favorite of this set.  He is completely airborne!

     

     

     

     

 

February 17, 2019

At dusk, during snowfall.  I tried using the flash while standing inside so the camera didn't get covered in snow.

     

   

   

   

     

 

February 6, 2019

Wrapped up in his blanket.

   

 

January 27, 2019

Here he is cuddling up with Crinkle Sloth.

     

   

   

 

January 26, 2019

Lyle loves his new Crinkle Sloth toy.  It has a flat body with crinkley material inside and a big stuffed head.

Resting in the sun by the doorwall.

   

   

   

 

January 13, 2019

Lyle wrapped himself up with his blanket and played with his stuffed squid.

Sleeping with spikeball.

     

 

January 5, 2019

Proud Lake State Park.

Most of the snow had melted, but there was a little left on the boardwalk to roll in.

     

Lyle surprised me and jumped up on the rock today.  The second photo shows him awaiting the approach of some people with a dog.  In the third photo below, his right hind leg is really stretched out while kicking up leaves.

   

By the Kooky Tree.

   

On the trail, digging, and enjoying his favorite hill.

     

     

     

     

At the edge of the corn field and by the river bank.

   

By the Kooky Tree again.  At the big pond.

   

 

December 30, 2018

Proud Lake State Park.  He couldn't wait to scrape at the snow.

   

More ornaments were added to the little pine tree since our last visit.  Lyle had too much energy to take a seated photo by the tree.

 

   

Some parts of the trail had hardly any snow, but there were still leaves to rake up with his hind feet.

   

   

Certain areas had untouched snow, which of course, Lyle enjoyed eating (first two photos below).

     

   

Rolling around.  The second photo below is interesting in that some of the snow he kicked up was caught in a ray of sunlight.

     

The big field and the river bank picnic area.

     

Back at the decorated tree near sunset.

   

My favorite rock.

   

On and near the observation deck.
