This weekend was very,very needed. Thankfully New Mexico decided to have two of those perfect autumn days in a row. I somehow convinced the husband to drive to White Rock with me to watch a dog show. Amazing huh? Well it’s wasn’t a normal type of dog show. It had stuff like this.

Whee! It was the Endeavor Dog Club’s Fall schutzhund and other trial. It was really amazing to watch these dogs really do what they were built to do.

And yes,they are super trained,obedient dogs that do obedience and tracking too,but this is what is fun to watch.

And they love what they do.

If you ever get a chance to go watch these dogs work,do it. It’s truly amazing.

Seriously,look at that. And no,our dogs can’t do that.

After that we went on a peaceful hike with our two pooches and I have no photos,because I am a dork and didn’t bring another battery.

The next day,it was time for creatures of a different type. Mules!

It’s a good way to change your perspective,looking through some long ears.

Maynard decided the trail needed some pruning.

Finish that up with some PBR’s on the porch and some awesome frito pie,that makes for a darn fine weekend.
