One Photo

One picture is all I took on our abbreviated morning hike today, and, of course, it has to be of our beloved Becca.  There's nothing like hiking with a dog to experience the pure joy of canine-ism.  It's not always the environmentally right thing to do, but if you can control your animal then that's a big plus.  In wilderness areas and the like, it really is a bad idea to have your dog marking territory in wild animal country.  On those occasions we make Becca wear Depends.  Kidding!

There's nothing better than a happy dog.

Packrat: Does Becca ever get cactus or ocotillo spines in her feet? I wonder about that when I see dogs in the desert. The pads are probably pretty tough, but the soft spots between the toes must be vulnerable.

Scott: Becca does get cactus spikes in her feet fairly often. Just this morning I had to pull a few Prickly Pear Cactus needles out of the area between her toes. All she does is stop and hold the affected foot in the air until I remove the offending spikes.
