Tomorrow I'm going hiking with Saucony again. And the guy she lives with, Andy Kunkle. I'll report how it all goes.

With the Dog
A few weeks ago I went hiking with a dog. Her name is Saucony. Twelve years old and diagnosed with cancer, she kept up with us all along the hike and kept me amused. I hadn't been hiking with a dog since I was a kid. I didn't realize how much fun it is to have a dog along on a hike. Sure, they scare away the wildlife, but I don't like surprising wild critters anyway.

Hi fellow writer,
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed reading your blog and watching the wonderful waterfalls in your part of the world.
I wish I had more of them where I live. At the moment the only waterfall we are having is the rain and there's lots of that.
Best wishes
Annie
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the blog.
ReplyDeleteWe've gotten a lot of (needed)rain here the past few weeks. The waterfalls needed to be recharged.
Nothing like taking your favorite four-legged buddy for a nice casual walk or hike. Just make sure you bring along a pocket full of plastic dispose bags.
ReplyDeleteIf we move into a larger house, we may buy a dog. If so, I want one that will be a good hiking companion. I'd never have thought it, but Saucony is such a pleasure to hike with.
