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!
