charlton farm

Thanks to an invitation from my lovely friends Katie and Joe, I got to spend Thursday evening out at Charlton Farm, a private duck club on Sauvie Island. We had twelve people and six dogs (I love that ratio) out there for a picnic and few hours of escape from the city, amazingly only 20 minutes away. It was great to catch up with friends, and the dogs were in absolute heaven being able to roam the farm and swim in the lake... at least until sundown when we had to reel them after hearing a pack of coyotes howling it up in the nearby fields. Gus is still totally pooped from all the spastic running, swimming, and wrestling he did out there. Thanks Joe and Katie!

Perfect summer evening on Sauvie Island
