Follow-Up Friday, a Day Late!

This week we are a day late so its technically Follow-Up Saturday but the week was a bit busy and didn't get on the computer much yesterday.  Sometimes its nice to take a break from it.

We would like to thank our hosts Heart Like a Dog and her co-host this week Sand Spring Chesapeakes for this great Hop!

Without further ado let's get to following up on our comments from the past week.  We'll start with last week's Follow-Up Friday.

Follow-Up Friday

Jodi StoneJune 22, 2013 at 7:41 AM

Hello and thank you for joining the FUF blog hop, we love having new additions.

It looks like you had a lot to follow-up on this week, that's what I love about FUF it can be whatever you need it to be.

I too love the B&W photos with just a pop of color though I haven't quite figured out how to do it myself. ;-) guess that's one for my 'to do' list.

Have a great weekend!

This is such a great idea to get our replies out there from our comments.  Really like the way Blogger is set up but wish there was a way to get the replies to people better without them having to come back and check manually.  You would think someone could figure this out ... LOL!!

I was always amazed at how people could make color pop out of a black and white picture and thought it would super hard to do.  We use Adobe Photoshop, and honestly its easy once I figured it out.  The power of Google!  If you have Adobe Photoshop I would gladly tell you how I figured this out.

Excellent FUF. You had a lot to go over this week. You are welcome in my Thursday hop anytime. It is nice to discover new blog friends through the hops.

Thanks for the invite back to the Thursday Hop and I had every intentions to join this week and time got away with me ... next week!!  I also enjoy finding new friends from all these hops.  Who would have guessed there were so many!!

Black N White Sunday: Fire Away!

Golden Woofs! SUGARJune 23, 2013 at 8:53 AM

Our guess is a historic place. I see your happy smile. Have a great Sunday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

You are right it was a historic place and a fun place too!!  

JaneJune 23, 2013 at 9:28 AM

Looks like a cool place!

It was neat for sure ... but rather hot ... LOL!!!  We had fun though, at least the trail was mostly in the shade.

Coralee RobichaudJune 23, 2013 at 11:16 AM

I bet you had a great adventure, Teach, wherever it was!

There was lots of new smells for Teach to check out and I don't think he left a leaf unturned.

Marquie J.June 23, 2013 at 3:54 PM

Wow, cool! What a great picture. Looks like you're somewhere awesome! ;)

Thanks!  The sun was baking hot so we were trying to hurry for a picture with the cannon.

GizmoGeodogJune 23, 2013 at 5:46 PM

I'm guessing Civil War battlefield but I'll be coming back to see which one

You guessed correct Gizmo!!  You're a smart puppy!!

finnhowardJune 23, 2013 at 6:09 PM

Oh that looks cool. We love ourselves some history. Can't wait to see!

Teach's dad is a history major so this family is always up for new history adventures.

nodogaboutitJune 23, 2013 at 6:11 PM

Gettysburg? Great shot!

Not quite Gettysburg ... a much smaller scale ... but great guess!!  We hope to visit Gettysburg this fall and you can guarantee lots of pictures from that trip.  Dogs are even allowed!!

2browndawgsJune 23, 2013 at 8:31 PM

Fabulous picture!

Thanks!!  Teach makes a great study.

Monday Mischief: Weekend Happenings

2browndawgsJune 24, 2013 at 11:18 AM

How beautiful. That park would be right up my alley!

Thank!  We love Civil War Battlefields.

SlimDoggyJune 24, 2013 at 11:46 AM

Hey Teach - very cool hike - so many different things, water, stairs, grass, etc. And the lighthouse...hmm why would a landlocked state need one...I guess just to enjoy the pretty view from the top. Be sure and take some pictures for us when you climb it.

We aren't sure why WV got a Lighthouse and its a running joke around here as well.  Its a short distance from our largest lake but still ... no "real" need for a lighthouse.  

FleaJune 24, 2013 at 11:49 AM

Oh what fun! I miss that part of the country. Rhodas. Rapids. Class I is my limit, but drifting down river in a raft ... Thanks for sharing!

In my younger days I did raft the Lower New River which had up to Class V rapids ... now however I like your idea of just drifting down the river over Class I rapids ... LOL!!!

GizmoGeodogJune 24, 2013 at 12:03 PM

Great tour Teach! That looks like a nice shady trail and it's good when you can get a history lesson thrown in...Dogs need to keep up their education too...Momz sez that video is pretty neat and she's never seen one like that on a building before...Loved the lookout points...did you get to take a swim in the river on that hot day?

No swim that day for Teach.  But I think he wished we would have since it was so hot!!!  

finnhowardJune 24, 2013 at 12:09 PM

What an amazing place. I love it all. I wonder like Gizmo said - did you get to go for a swim??

Thanks!  No swimming that day.  The Gauley isn't a great place to swim and dogs on the beach area of Summersville is frowned upon.  After our very hot hike I think we all wished we could have jumped in some water.

DinaDogJune 24, 2013 at 3:16 PM

I have nominated you for the Liebster Awards, visit my blog to receive it!
Dina

Oh WOW Dina!!!  Thanks so much.  Can't beleive we've been nominated for yet another award.  I'll get right on that one!!

Coralee RobichaudJune 24, 2013 at 3:24 PM

What beautiful photos Teach! Looks like you had a wonderful day! :)

Thanks!  It was a really pawtastic day!!!

TarynJune 24, 2013 at 4:27 PM

I've rafted on the Gauley but it was years ago! Great pictures!

You're much braver than I am!!!  I've done the Lower New twice, but that was also years ago.  Now I just like floating down the calmer section, but love watching people raft these harder parts.

followingroyJune 24, 2013 at 9:28 PM

What a wonderful place to visit! Great photos.

It was a really fun place to visit and we plan to go back when they do the re-enactment next year.

snoopy@snoopysdogblogJune 25, 2013 at 9:18 PM

What an adventure you had! That lighthouse looks like it will be fun to climb!
Enjoy,
Your pal Snoopy :)

If only they let dogs climb the lighthouse ....  When we climb it we'll be sure to blog about it!!

Wordless Wednesday: Harmony ... Sort of ...

Venus NewbyJune 26, 2013 at 8:06 AM

Teach is in the house! Be sweet Teach. Help everyone have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Teach is the sweet one ... Demetri ... not so much!!  LOL!!!

Golden Woofs! SUGARJune 26, 2013 at 9:03 AM

I see a SMILE. Happy Wednesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

Teach was smiling ... Demetri was glaring!  HAHA!

finnhowardJune 26, 2013 at 10:18 AM

Too funny! Sometimes I wonder how harmonious we are in our house too. Happy Wednesday to you!

In this case there was no resting going on ... each other had their eye on the other one. 

TarynJune 26, 2013 at 11:56 AM

Poor kitty...Which is worse...Having the camera in your face or the dog in the house?

Dog in the house is MUCH worse!!!  

FleaJune 26, 2013 at 2:51 PM

Well. This is a dilemma now, isn't it? Hm.
www.dogtreatweb.com

It was a whole afternoon of dilemma's for those two!! 

Marquie J.June 26, 2013 at 3:18 PM

Hahaha, oh no. You better watch your back, Teach. Looks like the cat might be plotting something. ;P
xoxo
Marquie, Lassie & Petal

Yes Teach was the one that had to watch his back for sure.  At one point Teach walked past Demetri and was wagging his tail and accidently hit Demetri in the face ... ooops ... and you thought the cat was attacked ... he flipped out and attacked the tail back.  Was so funny and Teach was horrified ... HAHA!!  He's a lover not a fighter.

2browndawgsJune 26, 2013 at 9:02 PM

Hopefully they will coexist. :)

They certainly did better this time around (they aren't around each other much).  So hopefully next time we good even smoother.

snoopy@snoopysdogblogJune 27, 2013 at 10:04 AM

Looks like a standoff - for now.... :)
Have fun,
Your pal Snoopy :)

It was a standoff and the Kitty was winning!

Cascadian NomadsJune 27, 2013 at 9:09 PM

Amelia sits in the window when my mom brings her dogs over! Good job not herding that kitty, Teach!

I think Teach knew better than to try and herd him.  Most cats he does try but this is the biggest once he's around.  I tell the cats just don't run but they never seem to figure this out ... LOL!!  My friend has like 8 or 9 dogs and several barn cats and those cats know just to sit still and the dogs will leave them alone.  

Well I think that pretty much wraps up the week of comments.  Thanks for following us and leaving comments.  And thanks again to DinaDog for nominating us for another award!!!  

Since it seems weird not having a picture on a Blog I'll leave you with a pic from our hike last night.
