Oh....and we saw this little guy harrassing ponys at Thomas Knob on our sobo.
I love Jacks...they are awesome!

Meet Roxie !!
The more I learn ...the more I realize I don't know.
This was actually two separate trips at the same park (Oak Mountain State Park, Pelham, AL) The pic with us on the rocks was at the top of the falls and she was about 4.5 months old. She loves the rocks and the water. The second was when she was just over 6 months old at the same park. We were scouting the backpack campsites where we will do some warm-up hiking/camping to prepare for our trip. We were out last month in an Alabama snow storm of 5+ inches and some heavy wind. Sadie thought it was just another toy to play with!
Thanks for posting such a great topic for happy dog pics!
My old trail companion, Diggs. I wish I had her for my NOBO triip this year.
Then...and now.

Here's Precious (brindle-8yrs old) and Peanut (fawn-3yrs old) on a hike mid-February at American Legion State Forest. Precious was a rescue- loves people and children especially but hates other animals (think KILL). I found out by accident after I played with a puppy and came home smelling like it that she likes puppies though. So we were able to get Peanut as a 12wk old pup and Precious accepted her.
Precious adores the woods, absolutely adores it. But she's getting up there in boxer years and has slowed way down and has a bad hip. I suspect this may be her last spring/summer. Peanut will just be lost without her. We're already planning on adopting another rescue dog. I want an English Bulldog, hubby wants a mastiff.
Peanut turns three in just a couple weeks. And I've finally made her spay appointment. She is a purebred and with certified hips and heart and I wanted to let her full adult personality emerge before deciding whether or not to breed her (and let me tell you the rows THAT philosophy caused between me an the vet techs at my vet's office! ). But it turns out that although physically she's healthy, her personality just shouldn't be reproduced. She tends to be timid and she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Neither trait that needs to passed along to future generations. So in for a spay she goes, I want to get it out of the way before the really good hiking/swimming weather hits. She loves being in the water.

Wow, what good photos this week! Man Petr, that dog sure grew up to be a huge dog! All of these photos are so nice, neat to hear the "stories" (story line) that explains just a little, but it is enough to bring a smile.

She is loads of fun on the trail, gets along with everyone... sometimes converts haters. I have never done a thru with her but have done two 150 mile sections, plus a ton of shorts. Biggest problems I've had so far are 1) ticks (she has a lot of fur and they can be hard to spot), 2) an isolated incident with a snake that resulted in a small bite and a very scared puppy, but no real harm done to either animal
I try to be as responsible as I can for the sake of other hikers and also very careful to keep her safe and comfortable... she makes me very happy and I can't imagine hiking without her!
Finally picked a name for the girly, Introducing Dasy
We are asleep with compasses in our hands.

I once was lost, then I hike the trail
"Trail Angel" is a fair weather pup. Hates getting too hot, doesn't want to get wet, and has to be toted when he gets tired! But, he loves the occasional over-nighter, meeting new people, and having the wind in his ears. I would hate to meet a snake tho, so now that summer is closing in and we hike in "snake country" he's staying safe at home!
