On the way we encountered a fox sauntering down the road with a recent kill in its mouth and then a buck almost ran in front of our car, but then swerved off to the left. We hadn't even reached the trail head and already it was an exciting day! We parked, put on the dogs harnesses and we're off. The trail is about 1.1 miles to the top, but it was a slow and steady incline so it wasn't too bad. Piper freaked when we walked over a bridge. She slunk low and did not know what to make of it. Dewey on the other hand just pranced along. I have decided that if Dewey could talk he would do so with an English accent. It's very fitting.
When we got to the top the dogs drank a ton of water and actually behaved long enough for me to take some great pictures! Earlier in the year we took them to Petco for professional pictures and they apparently were very rambunctious. Fortunately I was in WA with my sister so Dave got to experience that on his own! On the way back down Dewey tried desperately to take the lead from Piper but mean mommy held him back. She cannot walk that fast! Once in the car the dogs both tried to sprawl out on the back seat, but with Piper being bigger she usually ends up pushing Dewey off. Eventually they found a comfortable position with Piper laying her head over Dewey's. It was too cute and I have about 20 pictures to prove it!
Once home, the dogs slept for the remainder of the day and Dave and I watched most of season 1 of Veronica Mars. For those of you not familiar with this smart, short-lived television series then you are missing out. Even Dave proudly says that he is a fan! Well I have to go run errands and get ready to leave for San Francisco tomorrow!
Happy Thanksgiving!
