Adventure Pack Sputnik and Dylan roamed the trail off leash together as we headed up toward Enchanted Mesa. They both stuck pretty close. Later on, Ruffers chased Avo around a bit. Avo did most of the running. Ruffers mostly just egged her on enough to keep her going, and pounced whenever Avo made a close pass. Variety Pack Petie, Griff, Imogene, and Milo all stayed pretty close to me as we walked the Valmont Dog Park together. Zoey headed off to find other people who would g

Adventure Pack Carl chewed on a pine needle while his packmates were sniffing around. He kept falling behind and then racing to catch up with Griff, who was scouting ahead as usual. We saw a couple other dogs who approached us in a pretty forward manner, which got Sputnik and Racer barking. There was a very light drizzle throughout our hike. While Sputnik, Griff, and Racer came away just a little damp, Carl did his best floor mop impression and ended up with his entire under

Adventure Pack Sputnik and Riley were bandana buddies today. The trails were pretty busy. We saw a lot of other hikers, both human and canine. Dylan and Ruffers happily greeted the off-leash dogs, while I kept Sputnik and Riley off to the side with me. Dylan took a dip in the stream on our way up to the Mesa Trail. Variety Pack Avo stretched out in the grass on the return leg of our walk along the Bear Creek Greenway this afternoon. The rest of the pack was happy to take a br

Adventure Pack Griff and Dylan happily greeted other off-leash dogs on the Mesa Trail today, while Racer and Milo stayed on leash with me. At one point, we came across a couple dogs who were on leash, and whose humans pulled them off to the side of the trail as we approached. Dylan and Griff both did a great job of coming back to me when I called them, so we could give the other dogs their space. A couple minutes later, we had a very different encounter when a super excite

Adventure Pack Griff and Carl did their usually dynamic duo scouting together - Carl tagging along until he'd get distracted, and then rushing to catch up and see what Griff was checking out ahead. Meanwhile, Racer hiked alongside me and didn't pull much today. Near the end of our hike, by the trail head, a little girl asked if she could pet the dogs. Carl sniffed her hand for a moment but then backed off, a bit wary. Griff moved by and avoided saying hello. Racer went u

Adventure Pack Avo was very pumped to run around the trails this morning. Griff and Dylan each took turns off leash with her, but neither was interested in trying to keep up with her sprints. Racer poked along as she sniffed beside the trail. When Dylan and Griff were off leash together, Dylan followed behind Griff but ahead of the rest of us. When Dylan and Avo were off leash together, Dylan fell behind a bit as if to make clear that he had no interest in joining in with

Morning Pack Mrs. Miggins was less concerned with sticking by Roger Roger on our walk this morning. She sniffed around with Blu and Gidget some. There was one particular rock that the three of them were very interested in. Roger Roger eventually came over to check it out, as well. Rucksack seemed to be feeling pretty good as he kept up through the walk. Adventure Pack There wasn't any snow for Racer to munch on today, and she stayed on the trail with me instead of veering

Morning Pack Rucksack, Blu, Gidget, Mrs. Miggins, and Roger Roger headed out for a walk to Wonderland Lake this morning as snowflakes were beginning to fall. Rucksack was a little more hesitant to walk than he had been the past couple of days, but he got through it ok. Blu pulled around a bit. Gidget, Mrs. Miggins, and Roger Roger all walked in place very well. Mrs. Miggins just wanted to be next to Roger Roger. Adventure Pack Dylan and Griff did some scouting and a bit o

Adventure Pack Dylan and Avo had fun greeting several other dogs on the trails this morning. Racer also sniffed hello with a couple who came over to us. Sputnik stayed calm and collected when one of them checked him out for a moment. One of the dogs was pretty playful, and ran around with Avo for a few minutes. Dylan roamed with them a bit, but didn't join in the chases. Variety Pack Ruffers, Carl, Blu, Gidget, Zoey, and Lou headed to the Bear Creek Greenway for their aft

Adventure Pack Carl got a lot of snowballs stuck to his chest and legs as he bounded through the snow alongside Griff. Racer kept scooping up mouthfuls of snow on the move. Sputnik stopped to munch on snow every once in a while. The trails were pretty much empty today. Variety Pack Zoey, Mamacita, Avo, Gidget, and Blu enjoyed a walk along the Boulder Creek Path this afternoon. Zoey didn't insist on any stops. Maybe the freshly-fallen snow made the scent-scape less intere
