Adventure Pack Carl, Bear, Tozai, and Rey enjoyed hiking Anemone Trail and made good time on their way up the mountain. With the cooler, cloudy weather, Bear didn't feel the need to take breaks to lie in the shade. Rey also seemed a bit more energetic than she has been. Carl forged ahead to be the first to check out all the scents along the way. Tozai was full of energy and was happy to press on at a quicker pace. On the way back down, Tozai was giving Rey a hard time; he is

Adventure Pack The scents at trail head at The Peoples' Crossing have had all the dogs very interested lately. Today's pack was no exception, as Yoshi, Tozai, Lou, and Nelly all took their time sniffing around and backtracking to make sure they got the news. Lou and Nelly continued to want to linger while Yoshi and Tozai started to pull ahead a bit at the beginning of our ascent; however, they all politely stepped aside to let other hikers pass, even when those hikers were fe

Adventure Pack Griff, Rey, Arlo, and Racer headed over to The Peoples' Crossing today to hike up Anemone Trail. Arlo was hesitant to go up the mountain because the overcast weather made him worry about potential thunder, but there were no lightning strikes. Racer and Rey got some pets from a nice woman at Eben G. Fine Park who told Rey she was 'a ray of sunshine' before knowing her name. Griff and Arlo hung back while the girls got the attention. Variety Pack Lou, Carl, Lumi,

Adventure Pack Nelly, Bear, Tozai, and Lumi headed up Anemone Trail after taking their time to sniff around a lot by the trail head. The pack did a great job of politely stepping to the side to let other hikers pass by on narrow stretches of trail. Bear and Nelly weren't too eager to go up the mountain, so I had to keep circling back around behind them to nudge them along. Tozai and Lumi had no such hesitations about the ascent. Nelly somehow got her back, left leg stuck in a

Adventure Pack It was a noticeably cooler day as Racer, Imogene, Griff, and Arlo headed up Anemone Trail. Arlo went for a roll in the grass at Eben G. Fine Park before we got to the mountain, while his packmates stood and looked on. Once Arlo was upright again, Imogene hopped around him a bit, as she always does. Everybody was still pretty thirsty for a drink from the CamelBak when we stopped in the shade for a pack photo. Racer had a little trouble on the rocky descent along

Adventure Pack Tozai, Bear, and Carl headed up Anemone Trail today. They made it to a gorgeous lookout point where the wind was blowing; and the wind obviously blows there pretty consistently, judging by the shape of the pine that was in the background of the pack photo. Bear lagged behind and lay down in every shaded spot he could find on the way up the mountain, while Carl led the ascent. On the way back down, Tozai rough-housed with Bear a bit, but Bear didn't have a lot o

Adventure Pack Lou, Tozai, Yoshi, and Nelly headed up Anemone Trail today. The tongues were out, and everyone was happy to take water from the CamelBak. We came across several hikers and trail runners, but only one or two of the canine variety, when we were near the trail head at The Peoples' Crossing. Everyone was pretty mellow today and just stuck to trekking the trail without any rowdy business. Variety Pack Alfie, Archie, Carl, and Lumi hit the trails at CU South this aft

Adventure Pack Racer, Archie, Griff, and Arlo strolled Boulder Creek Path as the sun and heat returned today. Archie was not so set on trying to mount his packmates, though he did start trying to get a little frisky with Arlo toward the end of the walk. Griff made his point yesterday and Archie didn't bug him at all today. We encountered some food scattered along the path in a couple spots. Arlo snatched something up on the way out; on the way back, he grabbed what looked lik

Adventure Pack Archie was back out with the pack today! He and Tozai had a blast wrestling each other as we made our way up Anemone Trail and continued their rowdy play through the descent as well. Bear was annoyed when they kept bumping into him while he was taking a load off in the shade. Nelly, on the other hand, danced around the edges of their tussle and poked her head in at them here and there. When they were on leash walking at my side, Archie kept trying to mount Toza

Adventure Pack Griff, Arlo, Racer, and Imogene headed up Anemone Trail at The Peoples' Crossing today. There were some big groups of kids hiking, and the dogs all did a wonderful job stepping over to the side of the trail and minding their manners as all the kids streamed by us. Some of the kids told the dogs how cute they all were. Variety Pack The contrast between Carl and Tozai at the dog park is amusing. Carl just wants to fetch his tennis ball and doesn't care about anyt
