Today, Lola decided to give her human mother (Ashley) the best mother's day present she knew how to give... The opportunity to sleep in. Lola kept herself busy by scratching her own back, and playing quietly with all her toys...
This was appreciated so much that Lola was in turn rewarded with an afternoon of hiking at the Hawthorne Trail... a place she has never explored!
First thing Lola wanted to do before hiking in the woods was to thoroughly read all maps and signs to make sure we wouldn't get lost...
Of course, any dog knows that on a hot day in Florida, it is of the utmost importance to stay nicely hydrated.... in this case, it means making sure Patrick and Ashley brought her plenty of water...
Sometimes it is even necessary to take some small breaks to catch your breath and make sure that you don't tire yourself out!
Lola, being the clever dog she is figured out that she could stay extra cool by going from shady spot to shady spot and just wait for Patrick and Ashley to catch up. Here's a quick clip of Lola hustling to the next shaded area for a break from the heat...
And of course, at the end of a long day of hiking, nothing beats a cold shower followed by a nice long nap!
