Time Away with Friends…
…There is nothing like it, I tell ya. Every year friends from Boston come with their dogs to their cabin in the mountains of NE Georgia. I get to bring my 3 dogs, and we hang out, talk, laugh, drink wine, eat fabulous food, and enjoy each other’s company. I am telling you, for me, it’s bliss. I have a few pics I’d like to share with you. I just got back and have to work today, so forgive me on missing this week’s Friday Favorites. Well, actually, I could say this week’s Favorite is time with friends and their dogs 
Here’s a few pics. Click on them for the full size images, as they are too large to put on the page.
Also, be sure to scroll down and enter in to my 100k giveaway!! WOWEE!!! Y’all have blown my mind with all of your comments!! 
I will catch up on reading them tonight after work.
Till then, have a great Friday, and I hope you, too, will get to spend some blissful time with your friends, too! ~HUGS!!!

OMG Trudee…I love all the pictures but especially the one of “The Gang”. My husband and I had a black Lab that we loved very much from friends that owned his parents (he’s in puppy heaven with his mama and papa). Your pick reminded me of all three of them (a yellow lab and two black’s). We’re actually thinking about getting a lab puppy again after all these years.

So, where in N.GA did you go? I live in Gainesville and I’m guessing you were somewhere near the Blue Ridge Mtns or Helen?

Oh to have a place like that to enjoy! The scenery is phenominal and the dogs… well, being the owner of 10 of my own (I do dog rescue amongst other things!), I was so thrilled to see them all lined up together! Beautiful furbabies one and all! I’d love to see more photos if you care to share! The pic of Kenai with the bone is one to be entered into contests and in a calendar! Too beautiful to not share it!
Thanks again for a mini-vacation in my mind!

Great shots; thanks for sharing! Those dogs look like great pals as well. Did they just fall into place for the shot?

Hi there Trudee - Blissfull indeed -
clearly the photo op with the dogs was a momentary break in chasing after one another, frolicking in the grass . . . if only we could behave in such a manner, and let our tongue hang out :o)
hugs
