Adventure Pack Mamacita was back to wiggling in the tall grass during our hike this morning, rather than just wading though it. However, once she was done with her wiggle, she kept up a pretty good pace along the trail. Sputnik, Rucksack, and Roger Roger were happy to tackle the mountain trail without holdups, aside from our breaks at the stream on our way up and back down. Variety Pack Today was a grass-wiggling day! Griff and Isaac both enjoyed indulging in Mamacita's fa

Adventure Pack The stream was running very low, up the Gregory Canyon Trail, but the pack still made the most of it when we reached it. Isaac again lay down to get his belly wet, while Griff, Racer, and Sputnik all splashed around a bit and got a drink. The pack were all good about stepping to the side to make room for other hikers when we passed them along narrow stretches of the trail. Variety Pack It was hot when Rey, Zoey, and Griff headed out for their walk around Wond

Adventure Pack Everyone was taking their time on our hike today - not only Mamacita. Rucksack found an interesting bush to sniff, and everyone gathered around to give it a thorough examination. The stream at Gregory Canyon is running lower than it had been. Everyone was still happy to get in and get their paws wet. Of course, Isaac lay down in the stream to make sure to soak his belly. Variety Pack We didn't see any rabbits on our outing today, so there were no thrilling

Adventure Pack Griff and Yoda found a small pond down in a ditch beside the trail at CU South this morning. Yoda came back well-soaked from diving in. Griff's leg's were wet, but he didn't appear to have gone in as deep as his hiking buddy. Meanwhile, Mamacita, Sputnik, and Racer stayed dry on the trail with me. Racer was pulling at the leash a bit more than usual today, and it reminded me of how far we've come since she first started hiking with the pack. Mamacita didn'

Adventure Pack Mamacita really took her time along the Baseline Trail at the outset of our hike this morning. She insisted on wading through the tall grass at a snail's pace, and one passing hiker observed, "You're not going to get very far at that rate!" Eventually, Mamacita came back to the trail and adopted a more moderate pace. When we reached the stream near the Gregory Canyon Trail Head, all the dogs enjoyed hanging out in the water for a bit, before making the ascen

Adventure Pack It started raining on us as we made our way back along the Saddle Rock Trail a little after noon. Rucksack and Roger Roger continued roaming around, totally unperturbed. Sputnik also took the rain in stride. Mamacita, on the other hand, took on a very sad and droopy demeanor as soon as she started getting wet. Whereas she had taken her time on our way up, she was rather in a hurry to make her way back. Variety Pack The rain subsided later in the afternoon,

Adventure Pack Griff enjoyed exploring around the trails as he wandered off-leash this morning. Sputnik joined him for a brief stretch when there were no other dogs around. They didn't wander that far from the trail and were pretty mellow. Meanwhile, Racer and Mamacita stuck on-leash at my side. Racer pulled a bit to sniff along the side of the trail. Mamacita took her time navigating over the larger boulders that made up parts of the trail. Variety Pack Zoe, Avo, Isaac,

Adventure Pack Mamacita was feeling lazy today. Her second wiggle in the grass turned into a lounge in the grass, and she made it last for as long as she could. Griff, Rucksack, and Sputnik didn't mind hanging out while Mamacita soaked up every bit of sunshine and relaxation she could get. Sputnik spent the time sniffing around and leaving scent marks. Griff kicked up grass a couple times, as if he had just left a scent mark himself, even when I didn't see him actually ma

Adventure Pack Racer, Griff, and Sputnik all wanted to do a lot of sniffing around in the tall, wet grass beside the trail today. When we crossed the stream on the Saddle Rock Trail, everybody wanted to stay and enjoy the water. Racer could have spent all day dipping her open mouth into the stream to catch water. On our way back, Mamacita couldn't resist the opportunity to wiggle in the wet grass. Variety Pack Isaac, Zoey, Zoe, Avo, and Rey all chased tennis balls at one p

Adventure Pack Since Mamacita seemed to be having a hard time with all the rocky mountain hikes, the pack headed to CU South for a lighter jaunt this morning. Sputnik didn't request as many stops along the way, and Mamacita didn't wiggle in any grass. Along with Rucksack and Roger Roger, we all just made our way through the intersecting trails and then around the big loop. We passed a few other dogs along the way, but none of them lingered to say hello. Variety Pack It sta
