I accidentally deleted today's photos off my phone instead of transferring them. Sorry! Adventure Pack Dylan had a fun time rolling in the snow at various points along our hike, allowing me and Milo to catch up to him. Meanwhile, Griff scouted ahead of Dylan and bounded up and down the trail. Milo tried to get Dylan to play with him when he had a turn off leash a little later on. Milo woofed and bowed and bumped into Dylan, but Dylan didn't take the bait. Variety Pack Lou, Ru

Adventure Pack The pack hiked in a winter wonderland at the Chautauqua today. Carl bounded through snow that was at times deeper than his is tall, trying to keep up with Griff as they romped off-leash together. Racer opted to wade through the snow beside the beaten path, and frequently dunked her face into the white stuff. Milo carried on with a more regular demeanor. He was a bit more excitable, but didn't obsess over the snow. He and Racer barked at a Golden Retriever who h

Adventure Pack Another busy day at the Chautauqua, but again slightly less so than the day before. Avo and Dylan got a bit worked up and barked at a passing dog when they heard another dog bark further up the trail and they took it as an indication that something was off. Dylan stopped after one strong, "Woof!" Avo lost her composure a bit more, but she listened after a moment and sat beside the trail politely to let them continue on by. Griff and Dylan took turns at the forw

Adventure Pack The Chautauqua was still very busy today, but the trails didn't feel quite as packed as yesterday. Carl, Racer and Blu enjoyed sniffing through the dead grass and pine needles along the sides of the path while Griff did his usual scouting. We encountered a partly-melted snowman on Enchanted Mesa, about which Carl and Griff were both quite wary. Blu and Racer didn't seem to take any notice even as their packmates stared and approached at a wide angle. Carl linge

Morning Pack Racer, Milo, Blu and Gidget took a walk around Wonderland Lake this morning. It was a much more comfortable temperature out than it was last Thursday and Friday, so the pack was able to enjoy the time out without the need to hurry back to the warmth of indoors. Adventure Pack The Chautauqua was possibly the busiest today that I have ever seen it, with crowds of people gathered at the trailhead and a steady stream both up and down Bluebell Road. It got a little sp

Morning Pack Milo, Racer, Blu and Gidget headed to Wonderland Lake for a morning stroll. Racer and Blu were busy putting their noses to work in the grass beside the path. Milo and Gidget did not feel the same compulsion to sniff; they were more attuned to the occasional sights of passing dogs. Adventure Pack Gidget, Avo, Ruffers and Dylan enjoyed hiking the mountain at Foothills Park in North Boulder today. Winds had picked up at that time of day, but the mountain shielded us

Adventure Pack Imogene chewed on all the sticks she could get her mouth on. Carl joined in the effort to mulch the trails, by tearing apart some smaller twigs. Meanwhile, Racer sniffed the trail alongside Imogene but passed over the various sticks that so enamored her packmate. Griff scouted the trail ahead as he usually does. Variety Pack Milo, Blu, Racer and Gidget enjoyed walking around Wonderland Lake together this afternoon. We only saw a few others out on the trail. The

Adventure Pack Imogene couldn't get enough sticks to chew on as we hiked the Mesa Trail today. Avo found one good one and flaunted it. She ran by the pack and then into the adjacent field, where she dropped the stick and then rolled around on it for a while. Ruffers and Dylan didn't care much about the sticks their packmates found. They were content with sniffing along the trail and leaving their marks at a few points of interest. Variety Pack Milo, Racer, Lou, Rey, Carl and

Adventure Pack Dylan was back with the pack after a long trip to Tahoe! He, Milo and Imogene headed up the Mesa Trail at the Chautauqua. While Dylan and Milo roamed around, Imogene stayed on leash with me. There were a lot of good sticks around, and Imogene was very happy to chew on them. She flaunted one of her finds in front of Milo. Milo showed some interest, but made no attempts to steal Imogene's prize. Meanwhile, Dylan was busy scouting the trail up ahead. Variety Pack

Adventure Pack Racer and Carl got some practice keeping to heel on our hike today, as they were both pretty readily distractable and eager to pull. Meanwhile, Milo and Griff briefly chased after a herd of deer that was hanging out on the eponymous mesa of the Mesa Trail. Griff stopped in place when I called them off, while Milo continued his chase for about a hundred yards or so before he turned around and headed back to the pack.
