Nice haul! About your rock hound, did he wet them for you?

He's certainly a cute little rascal.

Hey, I had no idea how many posts you were going to make. Done now? Is this a better location? Lol.

How in the world can anyone top this post?...great rocks and a wonderful companion, all in one shot. Thanks for sharing, but someone looks like they're wondering just why I got put in this box of rocks!

thanks snowmom..actually he's a springer - easy to confuse those breeds at this age.

thanks grizman - that look is more like, "why did you interrupt me"...when he climbed on in the bin I knew he was a rock hound.

cheers

Three things

Get em rockpickerforever.

That has to be Springer, wife got started in the dog hobby with them. She had one when I met her. Me and the Springer used to play catch.
Catch the Springer(Shelby) when she would run by me just out of reach at full speed by diving thru the air with all I had. Dog wore me out. A gamer. Relentless.
We had a litter, they looked just like your angel. Wow, that is a cute pup.

Those white breccias are like clear jello with chips in them. I hope you post slabs/cabs/tumbles of them.
Looks like dynamite shattered them. Montana rough on the rocks.

gingerkid here is the 5th one dissected...it sure looks like this one was tormented over the millennium - mixed up, fractured and re-healed repeatedly (sounds like my youth). Anyways, slabs off of selfie rocks is always fun. Cheers
