Tryouts 48 degrees, 90% chance of rain. Backpacking Tryouts — Cheers, Mensa & Poppet. Put them in a backpack and take a hike. Since we live in the sticks with miles of woods around, we start from the driveway and go across the fields and up the hill, down the hill, and back home. Easy…
Training Logs 2019 – Backpacking, Rally-Obedience, & Weightpull.
Rain predicted this afternoon, so spent the morning hiking with the dogs. Walked a mile with each, Cheers, Poppet, & Mensa/Tok. To Roddy Road and back. Working on loose leash walking. Much easier on my legs since I REALLY felt it the next day after the 6.6 miles I inadvertently did on Tuesday. Installed Google…
3mph 33/58 degrees F, it was CRISP when we left this morning. Timed our “walk” today. Fed the dogs at 0800. Left at 0938, came back at 1040. We traveled a shade over 3 miles. With a short water break halfway. I’m calling it a walking pace of 3mph over the flat. We changed up…
Mensa meets the Wenaha backpack for the first time.
Tok meets her medium green Wenaha backpack for the first time.

I whipped through the kennels, bleached everything like a mad woman, took down the ragged shade tarps. Hormones are running rampant. Downloaded the OLD wayeh web…
Doggie Backpacks 34/63 degrees F, another CRISP morning. Walked Emmer & Yodel for a half mile to the firehall, and back. It was an intensive training session, both of them learning to walk loose leash AND learning to walk in tandem, but like with mama Mensa & baby Tok, they figured it out. We went…
Emmer & Yodel take a hike 51/69 degrees F, a BALMY morning, but a HUMID afternoon. Raw meaty bone-in skin-on chicken quarters for breakfast all around. (I had chicken souvlaki leftovers, I’m only a semi-carnivore). I love feeding them chicken quarters, almost as much as they love eating it. Never had one hit the ground…
