I have decided to make some changes to my Throwback section. This is partly because I have had the blog for about three years and each week I have posted an Adventure from before I started the blog. This has become more challenging between finding old photographs, and identifying the location. Although I will still be adding some here and and there I thought I would also use the Throwback Adventure to share past Adventures I have posted. I have new followers, and of course not every follower has been able to view all blogs. This Throwback blog will also allow me an opportunity to share special memories of my boys, Shadow and Buster who have passed. They began my life of wonderful adventures with my rescues, and will be furever in our hearts!

In October 2018 Shadow, Wilma, My parent and I Adventured to Pine Hills Park in Rutland, Vermont. This was a simple park, but just lovely. My Dad found it and I was pleasantly surprised as I had not even had it on our list to explore. We had a wonderful family walk in the great outdoors. As you likely are aware I have endless favorite photos but I love the photo below of Shadow and My Dad. Glad to have it in our file to remember our special boy. Below you will see two photos from Pine Hills Park, but you can click below on the link to read the entire original blog. Special memories of a family vacation.

The Weekly Video/Photo section highlights an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments. If you have followed my blog from the beginning you know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy.  We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven.  It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year after his passing we welcomed little Wilma into our world.  We were devastated to loose Shadow on April 3, 2020.  These two precious boys boys will be furever in our hearts! We were recently thrilled to add another amazing rescue, Gus, to our home on June 28, 2021! This Weekly Video/Photo section will allow me to share photos from all four of my rescues, whether it be a precious memory, or a current moment.

Today’s photograph is of Buster on one of our favorite local hikes back when we lived in Sterling, Massachusetts. I loved this hidden conservation land and rarely saw other visitors. The boys loved running off leash, and this snapshot always makes me smile – Buster running through the gorgeous scenery. We really had so much fun, and created precious memories! Run Buster Run…we sure do miss him!

Today Wilma, Gus, and I had a quiet and dark day at home due to Hurricane Henri, although thankfully we were able to sneak out for a morning walk. We actually did not end up getting much of Henri, but I planned for a day at home with new bones, new toys, and Gus was lucky to have a new toy from a kind and giving family friend. I was quite proud that Gus did so well on this inside day, as we are an outside-as-much-as-possible family. Gus is not a high energy puppy but I would definitely consider him busy on a “normal” day however he seemed to know that this dark day was perfect for resting. Wilma enjoyed the day of relaxation, but also appreciated the new squeaky toys. She also loved some extra belly rubs. I enjoyed cuddling with them on the couch and relaxing, in between some catching up around the house.

We ended the day with some home made pumpkin dog treat, which I believe they enjoyed as they gobbled them right up. Although I was super bummed to end summer vacation with a rainy, sleepy day, maybe a good introduction to a new routine that will not involve the majority of the time outside. This schedule will increase our “normal” local walks but we still will look forward to taking and sharing new Adventure….already planning for next weekend. Hope those of you who are local stayed safe through Henri.

Today’s Throwback Adventure is from the Castle Hill Lighthouse in Rhode Island. This was a gorgeous and quiet lighthouse, that required a walk on simple but lovely trails. I really found this lighthouse to be gorgeous and have fond memories of this Adventure. Please see below for two photos, and if you are interested in seeing the initial, full blog you can click on the link below. I am so glad Shadow was able to visit endless lighthouses during his long and spectacular life. We sure do miss him!

Today’s photograph is one I took this month of Wilma and Gus at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts. This particular location is one of the most picturesque sections of the Arboretum during August, a pathway lined with gorgeous yellow flowers. I was actually looking forward to taking a photograph of them in this scenic spot. I was a little disappointed that I indirectly joined them in this photograph (haha) but thought I would still share this photograph. As you may know the Arnold Arboretum is a place we frequent often and just love! If you are interested in seeing my recent blog from the Arnold Arboretum you can click below to read more, and see endless photographs. And of course you can see below for my weekly photograph of Wilma and Gus.

Today my Throwback Adventure is from Highland Lighthouse in Truro, Cape Cod. I have been to this Lighthouse several times when it was ready for visitors, and several times when it was under construction. Shadow, and Buster both visited the Highland Lighthouse as well as Wilma. As you can see we tend to visit in the off-season to avoid the crowds, although it’s much more colorful in the spring and summer months. Highland Lighthouse is a beautiful New England Lighthouse. We will have to plan a visit with Gus when construction is completed. Here are two photographs from past visits, and you can see my full original blog at: Highland Lighthouse.

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma and Gus from our Adventures on Friday. I only blog about our new locations and this one was taken at The Basin in Lincoln, New Hampshire, a place I have blogged about before. The Basin is such a beautiful and refreshing place, full of rushing water, cascades, and falls. I love this photo of Wilma and Gus and thought I would share it today for my weekly photo. Here they are:

Yesterday Wilma, Gus, My Mom and I Adventured to Newport, Vermont. Newport, Vermont is in Northern Vermont, and is located on Lake Mempremagog. Newport is has a downtown area with restaurants and shops and is popular for the outdoor recreation.

We had a flower filled adventure to Newport, Vermont. We had four amazing adventures today and Newport, Vermont was our farthest destination, and one of our two new locations. We arrived to find a simple town with waterfront views and endless, gorgeous flowers decorating the town. We found parking and decided to explore Pomerleau Park, a waterfront park. This was a small park with a lovely boardwalk along Lake Memphremagog, a miniature lighthouse, a fish sculpture, and endless beautiful flowers. We took our time wandering on this warm day and attempted to see every detail on the route.

After exploring Pomerleau Park we decided it was time for some ice cream! We had located Tim and Doug’s Ice Cream on our way in and just could not resist a refreshing treat on this summer day. I decided to take Gus over to order while Mom and Wilma cooled down in the car. Gus was quite the popular guy on this mini walk, and he has been doing so better socially, often being willing to greet people independently. I decided to order an orange cream drink, my Mom ordered a root beer float, and of course I ordered Wilma a dog ice cream. I felt bad not ordering Gus something but his stomach is still trying to figure out the world so thought it was best to wait on this delicacy. We headed back to the car and enjoyed our refreshing treats!

In addition to these main stops we walked around the town and drove around nearby to check out this town. We found beautiful mountain views at South Bay, and appendage of Lake Mempremagog. I think Newport is the farthest I have been up North, although one time as a teenager I did venture to Canada. So glad we could adventure to Newport, Vermont (This blog will not be rated).

Today’s Throwback Adventure is one I took with Shadow and Buster back in 2015 to Fort Crown Point in Crown Point, New York. I have found memories of this Fort adventure with my boys. We found it accidentally, and it was just beautiful. The Fort ruins were gorgeous, the water views lovely, and bright red trees adding quite the color to the scene. Shadow and Buster played continually, as you can in this timer-photo. Great memories at this historical location.

Today’s photograph is a napping photograph of Gus, in my bed. He is just the cutest and sweetest little guy…and although he seems to be getting busier and busier, he sure does enjoy a good nap. Here is a quiet moment in the life of Gus.
