Cocopah RV Resort
Yuma, AZ
...but first a quick catch-up from the oasis.
 |
| The start of another wonderful day... |
Lucy enjoyed a very nice play day at the Doggie park in Green Valley.
 |
| Quail Creek Dog Park in Green Valley. This is the side for small pups. |
It's a huge park divided in half to separate big and little dogs. There were only a couple of other pups there. Lucy ran and ran and chased and chased...it's so much fun to watch her socializing and having a good time.

| Taking a break under the shade pavilion... |
Lucy loves ice and one of those wonderful warm, sunny days we were enjoying our rockers on the patio. Before I knew it, she jumped on the table and turned my water glass (thank goodness for Tervis) over and just helped herself. Now I add ice to her water bowl if we are sitting outside.

| Dad needs my help with the hose reel... |

| So focused on Joe and the ball... |
I planted some flowers. I just love our little kitchen table garden especially with the afternoon sun shinning in. It's my favorite time of year because I don't have to shut the blinds to keep the heat out.
So on Monday, February 10th, we loaded up the bus and headed west.
It's Lucy's first RV trip and we are happy to report so far so good. She sat with me all the way and watched the world go by. It is so amazing how puppies adapt. to what ever we throw at them. She sat like the sweet little pup she is all the way to Cocopah RV Resort in Yuma.
Our last trip to Cocopah was in February 2014. My how the time flies ! Monday night we joined Carol and Ronnie and Don (his better half, Jan, wasn't feeling too good) for pizza. Lucy went for little while and then we took her home to her crate for a nap. Good friends just seem to have "this thing" when they meet up that wipes out all the time passed in-between visits. The conversation and laughter just flows like we had seen them last week. Life is good that way !
Lucy has already made friends at the puppy play area. It's a huge 2.5 acres of green grass nestled within the residential area and not fenced in so we haven't let Lucy off-leash yet.

| This is Daisy...Lucy also met Keva and Lexie and their humans who are all so nice to our very active 5 month old puppy. |
This morning, our walk was along the Colorado River. The path has been greatly improved since we were here 11 years ago. It is so peaceful and so pretty to walk along the river...one of my favorite things to do while here.
We also spent time at the pond in front of the RV Registration office. We saw lots of birds this morning. I photographed a few and my favorite was a Snow Goose.
These beauties migrate to and from their breeding grounds in northern Alaska and Canada. They are strong fliers, walkers, and swimmers. The male and female mate for life. The female chooses a nest site sheltered among vegetation in the willows and rocks or small shrubs. Being close to snow melt when breeding presents a challenge to find a dry spot and the female sometimes makes several decisions only to change her mind. These geese are vegetarians with a hearty appetite. In fact their two favorite activities are eating and sleeping.
So until next time...
HAPPY TRAILS !
