Nothing Gets By Maci - Not Even a Turtle

Neil took Maci for a hike in the woods yesterday (trying to stay cool in the 100+ degree heat. Maci spotted a Turtle and didn't know exactly what to do. Neil said that she ran around it for a few minutes, barked, looked at it, pawed around it and kept poking the ground around it with her nose. The turtle froze until Maci came really close at which point it hid inside its shell and Maci barked as if to demand it come back out. Silly girl.

Maci's First Family Vacation

First stop - a winery. 

My first family photo. 

This place isn't so bad.

Exploring the grounds at the bed and breakfast we stayed at. 

On a bridge crossing the creek in the back yard.

Exploring the 17 acres.

Next to the Shenandoah River

Another vineyard after hiking. Maci got a bone while the humans drank wine!

Yummy bone!

Pretty vineyard - pretty puppy.
