Sunday is family hike day for us. Although I hike every day and enjoy every moment of it, Sunday is for my husband, me and our three dogs to reconnect doing our favourite activity. This past Sunday was no different.  

I recently switched to a Dremel for shortening my dogs' claws (or nails).  Prior to that, it took two people, one to constantly feed treats, the other to clip each nail with a standard nail clipper. 

I pulled up to a client's home one morning recently and noticed a dog walker picking up a neighbour's dog.  The dog walker drove a van, not unlike mine, and had well over 10 dogs loose in the back of it (don't even get me started on a dog walker that walks that many dogs at once!).  

I was really excited to welcome Ferra to my group of K9 hikers today. She fit right in as if she's been hiking with us for months! Ferra is a Pharaoh Hound mix and has a sweet, lovely temperment.

What a great week it was being out on the trail with the dogs.  I had Bayliss, the 14 year old out with me as well as young Finley and Stanley.

We welcomed Finley into our hiking group this week.  He is a lovely 2 1/2 y.o. German Shorthair and based on our initial outing with him, Stanley and Finley are going to be great friends.
