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

Adventure Pack Arlo, Griff, Racer, and Rey all spent a little while in Boulder Creek at the stone steps in Eben G. Fine Park at the start of our outing. Rey waded out as far as she could reach on the leash, trying to get to the deepest water available. Griff has taken a liking to a particular boulder along Boulder Creek Path and has consistently pulled over to check out the news and leave his two cents during his last several pack outings to the area, including today. Arlo ea

Adventure Pack Tozai, Lou, Bear, and Nelly enjoyed their stroll down Boulder Creek Path today. Even though the high today was only about 84F, it was already nearly that hot when we set out, so we forewent the sunny mountain trail. The walk wasn't particularly eventful - just the usual sniffing and occasional marking; the pack walked together very well. No notable squirrel sightings along the creek today. Variety Pack Carl, Griff, Alfie, and Teo took the long way around Martin

Adventure Pack Griff, Arlo, Racer, and Rey headed to Boulder Creek Path for their pack outing today. I thought we might go up the mountain on Anemone Trail, but it was already in the 80s F when we set out, and the sun was shining, so we stuck to the cooler route. Racer had her nose to the ground most of the time, as she often does. Imogene was quick to sniff along with her whenever she came upon an interesting area. Griff and Arlo patrolled the other side of the path for note

Adventure Pack Carl led the way up Anemone Trail with a spirit of adventure, forging ahead and checking over his shoulder every so often to see if the rest of us were keeping up. Tozai and Rey hiked on leash at my sides on the way out. Meanwhile, Bear was lagging far behind the rest of the pack, taking his time to sniff and then ambling along in no hurry, the way he had gotten used to doing when Ruffers hiked with him. Tozai and Rey did some wrestling on our way back down, wh

Bonus Pack Our newest pack member, Beso joined Alfie and Yoshi for a stroll to Wonderland Lake this morning! Beso is a Bernese Mountain Dog who is only about 15 weeks old so she's just dipping her toes in hanging out with the big dogs. She did great on our walk. At the start, she kept trying to bound in front of Alfie, but before long she was trotting in place beside him and only pulling ahead slightly. Between the three of them, Beso did the best posing for the pack photo; b

Adventure Pack Rey and Griff led the way up Anemone Trail while Arlo and Racer hiked along at my sides. Arlo was nervous about the stormy weather at the start of the hike, but he relaxed more and more as the sun came out. At one point, a Golden Retriever came up from behind the pack while we were at the crossroads between Anemone Trail and Red Rocks Trail. Griff was the first to trot over and say hello. Rey waited for the Golden Retriever to catch up to her for her greetings.
