    weekend hikes

    My wife and I spent Friday and Saturday in Joshua tree national park and then hiked oak glen, California on Sunday. My wife took pictures of me throwing a big rock which got easier when it split in half. Click image for larger version.

    the next day

    we had come home so we could take grizzly up to the conservancy. He really loves running the trails. With bobcats, mountain lions and bears around we do exercise a lot of caution. Click image for larger version.

    Beautiful pictures. I really need to get out for a good hike soon. Maybe Enchanted Rock (near Austin) when my new kilt comes in!

    It's always more fun in a kilt.

    Does the Grizz ever get tired of posing? No complaints from my end but he must have the steadiest nerves for a breed that usually can't stand still for any length of time. Thanks again for the new photos. I do enjoy the adventures.

    Mind if I "borrow" some of your pics of grizzly? My wife had 2 at one time and misses them despite now having a CKCS. She would get a kick out of Grizzly up a tree.

    I hope she gets a chuckle from them. He is the sweetest dog I've ever met. I can't tell you the number of people who come up to me and pet him for awhile and then say how much happier he has made their day

    He seems to really enjoy posing. He will do it until I'm happy with the results.
