Yesterday, Jess, Leia, and I did something I think we had never done together - we all went for a picnic in the park. Hell, I can't remember ever going to a park for the simple goal of having a picnic. Jess and I had actually been planning on doing it for a couple of months and I even bought a picnic bag. I just figured, we have a park down the street, we enjoy eating, and have to eat lunch, why not go to the park and have an actual picnic. It was really nice, too! The only drawback was that the ground was a little wet and it kind of soaked through our towel, but overall, it was great, relaxing, and yummy. Interesting side note: I take Leia to the park all the time to go for walks in the morning. She behaves herself and ignores other people for the most part. During our picnic, however, when ever someone entered the park, she started barking and even got in trouble once for not stopping. Same park, same people, but I guess the actual act of sitting down means she is claiming that park and nobody else can come in? Was she being protective because we were on the ground? It was odd. Oh well.
Of course, I took my camera! Here are a couple of pictures and be sure to check out the small slideshow right after!

Very, very nice. How fun to go on a picnic. Yeah, I don't think we ever did that - I'm sorry!!! Anyway, you pics are fantastic. I like the black and white of Leia when she is laying down. She is definitely playing the protective doggie in that one. Very, very nice!
Of course she was being protective. Good girl! We have neighbors across the street whose daughter brings her little boy and her dog everyday so Grandma can baby sit. The little Dachsun scans the area and barks protectively if she see anyone! That's what they do.
I love the pictures! Especially the one of Leia looking up. Hugs, Nani
Awwww. Puppy kisses!
Ah, I love a picnic. When my kids were little and now with my grands, it is nice to have them eat and then play outside :-) I hope you guys plan lots more picnics.
I can't believe I just found this new post; I'm falling down on checking in...
I had a great time on our picnic, even with counting the calories! We should do it many more times - why wouldn't we, with a park so close?! I love the pictures of Leia, she's so photogenic!
Cute photos!
It looked like such a beautiful, perfect day that I'm thinking Leia didn't want any strangers to spoil it in any way, even just by being there.
