My person let me get into the car with her today. The little car, not the big one. She usually takes me to the vet in the little car. Maybe I’m going to get more loves and treats.
Hmmm. We don’t usually go this far in the car when we go to the vet’s. I wonder where we’re going.
Finally, we’re stopping. Hey, there’s a little dog here. I recognize this dog. I’ve smelled him on you before person. He’s getting in the car with us too?
Hey, how come Pablo gets to ride in front?
We rode for a little while – with me in the back and Pablo in the front – and then all of us got out of the car. It’s a trail!
I’ll give you a head start Pablo.
Hey Pablo, wait for me!
Hey person, hurry up. What is that thing up there?
It’s a rock? Bell Rock? It looks like a giant UFO.
Really? Some people think a real UFO is going to come out of that rock? I wonder if any aliens look like dogs.
Hey person, the trail goes this way.
What are you looking at?
Hey Pablo, I think our people have been looking at these rocks long enough. Let’s take them back to the car now.

Wow! What a stunning landscape, Bongo! Where exactly is it?

Sweet Kitten, this is in Sedona, Arizona – a few miles from my house. Next time you come to see Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon you’ve got to come here too.

I sure do enjoy the walks you and your person take. That scenery is gorgeous and makes me want to hurry up and move back to Arizona. 😉
Bongo
March 7, 2012 at 3:33 pm
Lindy, I would rather be up front with everyone than have the space. When you get back to Arizona you’ll have to stop on by. My person is going to Indiana for a few days next week.

Sweet Bongo you have such beautiful places to go walk. Look like you were all tangled up and Pablo was getting ahead of you there for awhile. 🙂 Those rocks are so beautiful! Looks like the two of you had a fun adventure. Hugs and nose kisses
Bongo
March 7, 2012 at 6:30 pm
Chancy and Mumsy, I get so excited when I find a new place with new smells that I sometimes go overboard and tangle myself up. I did have a great time though. Hugs and nose kisses back to you.

I can tell by the tangled leash that you had a great time! Now…. ask that UFO if they have any cookies. If they do, I am SO there!
Bongo
March 7, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Rumpy, I’m with you if that UFO has cookies. I think it’s supposed to be underground though, so we’ll have to dig to find them.

WOW Bongo what a great place to walk. You did look a little sad in the back seat of the car – but it was worth it once you got there.
Bongo
March 7, 2012 at 6:35 pm
Karen, I didn’t like being stuck in the back seat by myself. Before we stopped and got Pablo and his person I snuck in the front seat and my person couldn’t do anything about it because she was driving. But I did have a great time on the new trails.

March 7, 2012 at 7:20 pm
The German: “HA Bongo. I tried to write earlier that you have to run really fast and jump in first calling “short nose – or door closed” – or something like that to claim that front seat….Persons can’t resist that sad face sad face look if you have to sneak up….but then I got distracted by the yellow ball..big woof for it all working out! An outing with friends. Outstanding. Nose bump!”
Bongo
March 7, 2012 at 7:36 pm
German, I’ll remember those front seat tricks next time. If I get there first and refuse to budge, maybe I can stay there.

Beautiful photos your person took, Bongo! Looks like you had a good time with Pablo, even if he did get to sit in the front. Scarlett feels your pain 😉

Scarlett, do you get stuck in the back seat too? Anyway, I did have a good time on the new trails.

It’s not fair, Bongo, you belong in the front seat! But your person brought you and your friend Pablo to an amazing place, that must make everything good. I loved following your trails today, wow 🙂

Kevin, we do have some pretty awesome scenery around here – and it has been in a lot of Hollywood films. They made a lot of old western films here and still make movies here sometimes. I’ll tell Pablo you said he is cute. His people don’t know what kind of dog he is. He came from Mexico. His people got him when they were living there.

Back seat is the best… with the windows open!

Really nice pictures, Bongo. And those trails look fun! My mom says we have some trails about a mile from our house here, but since we just got here we haven’t had time to try them yet. But I’m sure they’re not as lovely as yours. Maybe one day I’ll get to see those red rocks too! 🙂
Bongo
March 8, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Fenris, I keep inviting my dog blogging buddies to join me on my trails, but they all live too far away. You live close enough that maybe you could actually join me sometime. That would be so much fun.

Thank you! Yes, that would be lots of fun. I love discovering new things. Sometimes my mom calls me Curious George. Did you say the fall had the best hiking weather? I will bug my mom and dad to take me there then 🙂 And you know you are always welcome to swim in my pool if you make it down south 🙂
Bongo
March 9, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Fenris, fall is best here. October is usually the best month. Spring has good temperatures but we usually get a lot of wind. I may have to bug my people to bring me down to swim in your pool. That would be fun.
