Muggy and Buggy

Took a photo of this yesterday; now the right trunk is completely down

We got some decent rain late yesterday and a little more overnight.  The result was a very muggy and hot morning.  Even though I kept our daily trek short Ms. Becca was suffering a bit in the weather conditions.  She was pretty hot and hiked quite slowly the entire time.  I didn't see her limp at all during our outing, but it was fairly obvious she wasn't enjoying herself very much.  Nevertheless, after we got home and she cooled off she was eager to have her post-hike treat--and that she enjoyed as much as usual.
