Adventure Pack Rey was in and out of Boulder Creek at our first stop, while Griff, Arlo, and Racer lingered in the water for as long as I let them. Arlo did his usual bows to dunk his underside; Racer chomped at the surface of the water; Griff just stood and enjoyed the feeling of the water rushing past him. We found a spot further down the creek where the water was deep enough for the dogs to swim right by the bank. The current swept them downstream pretty swiftly. Griff cli

Adventure Pack On our first stop at Boulder Creek, Nelly sniffed among the rocks on the bank while Tozai and Bear splashed around together. On our second stop, Nelly was feeling more adventurous and stepped one paw down into the creek while the boys splashed around together some more, tossing their heads around playfully while scooping up water. Variety Pack Storm clouds moved in as Lumi, Griff, Carl, and Alfie headed to Boulder Creek Path for the afternoon. Everyone was eage

Adventure Pack Carl, Arlo, Tozai, Racer, and Griff enjoyed Boulder Creek today. Arlo repeatedly play-bowed in the water, and Tozai mirrored him a few times. Despite the playful posing, nobody made any real moves to engage, and they both just turned their attentions back to the water. Meanwhile, Griff and Racer waded around nearby, and Carl hung out on the step just above the water level. Later on, when we were further down the creek, by Broadway, there was a family of geese s

Adventure Pack Carl joined Bear, Rey, and Tozai for our hike up the Red Rocks Trail from The Peoples' Crossing today. The pack was in and out of Silver Lake Ditch pretty quickly, But Carl and Bear made another stop there a little further along the trail. There is some construction going on for utility lines through the area, but they let us pass through while I had the pack on leash. We continued through Eben G. Fine Park and a bit down Boulder Creek path before wrapping up t

Adventure Pack Arlo got spooked by something when we first set out, so we spent a long while hanging out at the trail head at The Peoples' Crossing while he gradually settled down. I didn't hear fireworks, but maybe there were some in the distance that I didn't notice. After we eventually got moving, the pack enjoyed a break to cool off in Silver Lake Ditch. No snakes around today for Racer to knock into the water. Arlo wanted to stay submerged for as long as possible. Griff

Adventure Pack Nelly stepped down into the water at Silver Lake Ditch with both paws to take a quick drink while Ruffers was still on the bank behind her, and Tozai and Bear were splashing around a little further upstream. The boys had fun chasing each other up and down the various stretches of Red Rocks Trail. Ruffers poked along a bit more slowly today and lingered in the shaded spots. She hung out for a short while at a nice vantage point, to survey the city that is hers.

Adventure Pack Ruffers enjoyed cooling off in Silver Lake Ditch (which I mistakenly referred to as the nearby Farmer's Ditch in some recent posts). Meanwhile, Tozai and Bear raced and splashed through the water behind her. Rey mostly stuck to the bank but climbed down for a quick soak. Tozai and Bear continued to bump shoulders as they ran along the trail afterward. Ruffers and Rey were much more mild-mannered as they followed at a bit of a distance during their time off leas

Adventure Pack Lucy was in and out of Farmer's Ditch pretty quickly, then explored the banks while Sanni and Yoshi continued to enjoy the water. Yoshi dove right in and splashed around. Sanni kept swooping her face through the water as she waded up and down. Lou hung out on the bank at first but eventually climbed in with the others. The rest of the hike was less wet. Lucy got ahead of us when we were at the red rocks formation, and as I rounded the corner I saw she was sniff

Adventure Pack The pack skipped Farmer's Ditch since it was already pretty cool and wet out today. Thunder occasionally rumbled in the distance, which caused Arlo to freeze up every now and then. We would eventually get moving again and then be fine until another soft rumble would come through after a while. Rey did some running on the mountainside while Griff scouted ahead on the trail. Every so often, Racer would pull hard off the side of the trail to check out something th

Adventure Pack Ruffers, Bear, and Tozai were all enjoying Farmer's Ditch while Nelly waited on dry land. She crept down to the water's edge a few times but then hurriedly backed away whenever one or another of her packmates shook off in the water. I wonder how far she might have ventured if the others weren't repeatedly creating a splash. Variety Pack Alfie, Lumi, Griff, Blu, Carl, and Gidget walked Boulder Creek Path this afternoon. There were some moments when the boys were
