Mine was harassed by squirrels whenever we made it back to camp from hiking

last weekend, so she never got a rest. She literally sat in this position for an hour waiting for the squirrels to come down. One fell from the tree and she almost got it, but the tether pulled tight before she got there. Backpacking with dogs is great.

Contrary to the popular CB opinion, dogs are the best.

My dog LOVES to fetch. She especially loves it with soccer balls. She's a pretty decent goalie, and doesn't

Good story. Seems like yesterday's topic, though. 😉

Thanks for the share. We plan on giving a dog another try when our youngest is

dogs push their own boundaries often, and dont know when to stop, or how to tell

Great story--but tell me more about the fishing--any good?

I caught two, but I didn't fish for very long. Seemed to be a pretty good lake, and later that evening they

Nice! The first one is nice sized for a brook trout; the second one doesn't

It was also a brook trout, just pretty young.

This post almost makes me want to get a dog.

Is it possible she ate/drank something that she then passed the next day?

That's absolutely possible. I really don't know for sure. On our hike to the lake on the ridge, we also

I'd bet that was it. My dog seemed exhausted last week in Wyoming a couple times

Could be 2separzte issues one being sore pads.

7/10/18 9:31pm

I might try the boots. I'm pretty sure her pads were hurting.

jdub

does she eat grass? She might have gotten into something strange

I just posted above that she was chomping on grass Friday, likely because she was feeling sick.

Also, while talking about dogs, this is my dog after a hike last week in Star Valley

Photo made me laugh. That's a worn-out dog. Mine was just like that when we got home. She just slept for

Thank you, he is a very well mannered dog and his color is incredible.

Can't tell... is that a ridgeback?

Great dog, and that looks like a pretty area too.

Thanks. Shepherds are great, but you already knew that.

OneUpper

Ours is half shepherd, half black lab. I've always liked shepherds.

He's beautiful. And tuckered out.

Very cool. I read last time about how this is an annual thing for you and I definitely want to do the same.

Altitude Sickness?

The thing that made me think of it is that

No, not for a good 4 miles. It's relatively level in the basin, then you go up a few hundred feet to the pass.
