Ace Conquers the New River!














Here's my puppy Ace posing for a photo opportunity on a large rock outcropping in the middle of the New River.  We drove up to the New River in Mouth of Wilson, VA two weeks ago to celebrate the early arrival of spring in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

In true Golden Retriever fashion, he jumped out of the car and waded right out to the middle of the river to "retrieve" two live ducks.  Once he got to the middle of the river, he changed his mind. 

Think about it:  Here's an 11 month old puppy standing in the middle of a 320 MILLION year old river.  The oldest river in North America, and the second oldest on the planet. 

Were you this brave when you were 11 months old?
