White Dog and the Others touched noses with Quinn who had walked them to the door but who clearly was planning on staying home to guard the house. Steve finished locking his bike on the roof rack and opened the sliding door to Pumpkin....and the White Dog Army surged out into the pleasant early morning and hopped into the van.

We stopped to pick up Dragon and Sen-ge, who chatted with Oso as Gregg and Candace loaded gear into the back and bikes onto the roof. And we were off for a Sunday morning adventure to the Nature Center.

Before the riders readied to go, Steve took the White Dog Army in pairs to scout the area, looking for bunnies to chase or better yet, mean road runners to tree, but no luck! We set up a base camp under the huge cottonwood tree. Parked in the shade, I could read and get about in my wheelchair; Steve set up long leashes so the WDA could explore a bit, sit with me, or hop back into Pumpkin for a comfy nap with windows and doors open.

Dragon and Sen-ge ride with their pawrents in baskets on their bikes. They look adorably cute, love being with Gregg and Candace...and the WDA enjoys waving the Little Yippers off with the bike crowd. Here is a video of Dragon as he readies to go...
