Mya waiting as @Artemus and I take our turns attacking the summit of the rincon.

Nikita soaking in the sun, April 1, 2016. A big increase in drugs has her feeling much better the last couple of weeks. Starting to think she might have another summer of beach wandering left in her.

Here is my dog, Sampson. He is a mix, but part chow.

He is one courageous dog. He has stared down a moving train, only to jump off the tracks at the last moment, just playfully. He has literally been nose-to-nose with a giant mountain lion. They stared at each other for a full minute, then the lion bounded away. Sampson was protecting me, and would probably die for me.

He is happiest on the trail, and goes on walks with my family nearly every day. The love and connection you can have with a dog cannot really be put into words.

Domesticated Dog vs. Wild Lizard
- little Luna hopelessly outclassed in the Dirty Devil river drainage. Note the stick bit in her mouth. Even while distracted she never loses sight of the target.

Sage assisting with running trailhead shuttle. It was a bumpy road, but you wouldn't know it looking at her.

Sage in Cataract Canyon last week.

Great! Who's leading?

Sage packrafting the mighty Colorado River during a short break in the 50+ mph headwinds.

 

[Artemus]

"We know we just wanted to go out to chase that chipmunk - who knew it was raining."
- No way Merlin and Luna are getting in to roll on the carpet now. Actions have repercussions.

A few years ago a picture of Joey (taken by my wife) was used in a book on dog travel.

Ok. I don't currently have a dog. So I figured I wouldn't be posting anything on this thread but I ran across this video recently and I thought that you dog lovers that are frequently on this thread would like it - especially because it involves long distance hiking in Utah with a dog. So here it is. Hope you enjoy it. I did.

Yep, it is a classic, Curt!

Nikita cooling down on a hot day in Glen Canyon last weekend while Sage wonders what the hell I'm doing.



Another from the night before at a different spot.

She looks so serious.
