Dog-Friendly Memorial Day

A few days before Memorial Day weekend, we thought it might be fun to go somewhere for our three days off. I Googled "dog-friendly Texas vacation" and near the top of the list was a link to Canyon of the Eagles nature resort. They had one vacancy left! So we took it. This is a nice place on Lake Buchanan about 20 miles from Burnet, TX, in the Hill Country. It was pretty, peaceful, and best of all (according to Lucy) there was a big lake to play in.


Resting for a moment.

Posing with Mom.

Almost everyone at the resort brought their dog. Lucy met many of them but a couple memorable ones were Nagy and Lightning. Nagy was a fellow yellow Lab, though she was much smaller than Lucy. Her dad insisted they were comadres. Lightning was a retired racing greyhound. She'd lost a leg due to infection and was adopted by a vet student and her husband. Both of Lucy's new friends were sweeties.

Since I can't put all my photos in one post, below is another one with more pictures from the weekend.

Beautiful photos, but that happy, soggy Lucy is my favorite - or maybe the one of the two of you...

Water playtime with my lab left me with lots of fond memories. Thanks for recalling them!
