A Rare Sunday Solo (Con Amigos)

First 2:  views of Tortugas and the Organs

Dr. K went shopping this morning--the second such Sunday trip in two weeks--so the Heelers and I were on our own during the daily trek.  We hiked our normal route, and Frio and Willow were quite well behaved during the outing.

Several times during the excursion the pups were alerted by something in the desert (a jackrabbit, perhaps) and I had to command them to come back to me; they did so somewhat begrudgingly, but they did comply.

The three of us had a good time while getting in some necessary exercise today.
