Manzanita Beach Adventure

Hello Blog Pals - I don't know about where you live but the weather has been beary sunny this Thanksgiving weekend.  There was no black Friday shopping for this Fox this year (although I saw a cool tin with a fox on it at the Dollar Tree today, sigh it was dented and my roommate wouldn't buy it for me).  Anyway, I digress, the weather has been great.

Our first stop was lunch at this overlook.  You can see that this gull is interested in lunch as well.  Not today my friend - not today.

 I decided to lead my roommates to the beach town on Manzanita (in Spanish it means little apple) but the town was named for the Manzanita plants that grow in the area (thank you Wikipedia).

Looks like there are some mountains to research in the background.  Maybe there are hiking trails up there?

What a perfect day at the coast.  

No, I am not at some secret ruin in Mesa Verde National Park.  I am just hanging out in a hole that a certain dog dug. 

Sequoia looks a little confused as to why I am in his hole.  I am curious why he dug this hole.  So many mysteries.

After playing with Sequoia I thought it best I relax before the long walk home.

Of course no adventure to the beach would be complete without a stop for some ice cream.  Hmm, I think I know of a place that happens to sell some. Now the only question is what kind should I get.

Happy Thanksgiving (or Happy Thursday)

Drunk Fox and I wanted to wish our blog pals a happy Thanksgiving (or happy Thursday to Sandy, Beanie, and Hammie).

This blog has gone to the dogs.

I was happily reflecting on my trip to Colorado today.  I wonder if the mountain I was observing in this picture has more snow on it now?

My, that fox looks familiar...

Sequoia begged me to help him package some of the treats we made earlier in the year to send to his dog friends in the Midwest.

Who can resist this dog?

Blog pals meet Dylan (or Stella, I get them confused).  Anyway these two Greyhounds are getting a Christmas package from Sequoia this week. 

Hello World, meet Stella (or Dylan).  

Maebe is also getting a care package. 

Maybe I should get her a ball for Christmas as well?

Sequoia promised to reward me with a cold frosty beer.  Seems like fair payment to me.

An "amusing" adventure

Drunk Fox was helping me with my chores today.  We were cleaning a cupboard in the kitchen and made quite a mess.  My roommates kept hinting that if we got this cleaned up they would take me on an adventure today.  It's been a long time since I have had a proper adventure so I was immediately up for the trip.

Being a good fox I got the cupboard organized quickly.  Off for my adventure.  Our hike starts off at a Nature center.  The have an amphitheater and some displays.  Apparently, where we are hiking to today was once an amusement park.  I wonder if they have any cotton candy at the top of the trail?  Let's go!

My roommates showed me a picture of the amusement park.  It looks like Disney has some competition.

This looks like a great park, can't wait to go.

Whew, after a grueling session up the hill we made it to the top.  Hmm, I don't see an amusement park up here.  No cotton candy, no coffee stand, no nothing!

 The only thing I see (besides the view) is the neat water fountain.  It works perfectly, which is good because we all know little foxes need hydration.

Even though there wasn't the amusement park at the top of the hike it was still good to get out.

My roommates treated me to lunch and told me I could get anything I wanted.  I negotiated two meals; one for me and one to take home for Drunk Fox since he helped me with the cupboard organization.  Maybe I should add negotiator to my resume?

Thanksgiving Collection Place Settings

What are the chances my roommates will surprise me with this plate (full of food, of course) this Thanksgiving?

Apparently, scarves are in season fashion accessories for today's modern fox.
