I'm so glad you all had fun! I LOVE hiking with Jackson. We did a 7 mile one last year and he was ready for more, go figure. Not me! Haha I was exhausted! It's great tho, I love coming home and ACTUALLY pooping him out! |
Yeah me too! When they can barely open their eyes and look at me, I know they had a fun day!!! HAHA Well they seem more tired after being groomed than they did from their 4 mile hike yesterday!
I just felt so proud of them, how well they did! They are not spring chickens anymore. They will be 8 years old this Sept. Plus in all honesty they don't get a ton of exercise in the winter, way more in the summer when the pools open because they swim A LOT! So to see them tackle that trail and then to stay with us even off leash was amazing. I thought for sure Fletch would be GONE when we let go of his leash, but he stayed right with us, they made the hike enjoyable for me because I loved watching them go and have fun! Our friend has the nicest chocolate lab who has a ton of energy and all 4 kids (his 2 and his wife's 2) never do anything with this dog, then they are all annoyed with him because he's barking and hyper... I told him to take his dog and he says No way. I don't get it. If mine can do it, his definitely can and it would make the dog a lot better at home if he's tired and properly exercised!
