Hike

Post by bannerd »

We hiked the highest mountain in NY. The top was incredible and brutally cold as well. Here is some pictures of the scenes. If it wasn't for Koda pulling me to the top it would have been harder for me :lol:

The top pictures were more personal, the lady would kill me :pint:

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

The hike is about 14 miles.. it was pretty crazy. DutchGirl, that harness is http://www.ruffwear.com/

I bought this for him awhile back; http://www.ruffwear.com/Palisades-Pack_ ... ategory=13 you can detach the backback.

There is a lot of sheer cliff though, I didn't think Koda would make it. He went right up it like nothing and saved me from falling a few times. Going down was dangerous because he wanted to race down. He learned the slow command rather quick that day after I slipped and cracked my butt on some flat rock.
