Wearing Java out is my most treasured daily calling. And apparently I come by it honestly. My dad the helper thought it would be “awesome” to race Java around the soybean field. My dad on an ATV vs. Java seemed fair enough, especially since this kind of racing was more about the chase than the win.
We ended up at the creek and Java started wrapping his fists for the rematch. But instead exhaustion took center stage and we headed back to the house to cool off in style. And all was right in the world.
Thanks Jason! You just made my daughter’s day. She is now talking about Java at her daycare and everyone know who he is.
Awesome dog and awesome post.
That makes my morning. It also makes my engineering job seem like a complete waste of a day – I should be outside.
these are some of the best Java pics yet! my kids loved looking at all of these, especially the close up of him smiling 🙂
The last picture of Java should be made into a poster. That picture may be the definition of bliss.
Now where are the pictures of you on the back of the quad hanging on for dear life snapping pictures?
Eddie — I haven’t mastered the one handed pictures of myself yet. Chris don’t call him Donnie he hates that has, though. I’ll have to get some tips from him. And Geoffrey — for sure man, life is better when you’re around bliss and Java. And when bliss = Java, it makes my day.
Awesome pics and great post. I really enjoyed it! I really need to get out to Ohio as my brother is currently going to school at Miami.
Hey there Jason! Great post! I hope to meet you and Java someday during one of the GoRuck events. Anyhow, who is the other dog that is tagging along with Java? Take care! LaterZzzz!
Hey Alf, Annabelle is my dad’s dog, a shar pei / lab / something else maybe mix that my dad and his wife rescued. Great pooch as well, just a little more camera shy than java.
It’s things like this that make me want to quit my job and do nothing by enjoy life.
Like many here, my dog is my best buddy, so I just love seeing these Java posts. I sincerely hope I get the chance to meet him one day.
Spoil Java every day you can!
Mike B — not to worry on this. I will.
Wow — I thought Java was just a big house dog —–lololololol
I really liked this post! Fun photography as well, great action. You can see some serious motion here.
Dammit I love chocolate labs! Reminds me of my own – “Porter”.
way to go, jav! that’s my boy.
The last photo is the look of pure bliss. Almost nothing better than spending the day wearing out man’s best friend.
