Hi everybody!
For those of you that haven't met me yet, I'm Cedar...aka knucklehead, goober, etc... I hang out with the zachster and she takes me on really cool trips in the mountains. Usually she keeps me really close, we're kind of tied together with this leash thing which is OK I guess cuz she has all the food. But today was different. I got a special necklace (they call it my good boy collar) and there was no leash! Hurray!!! My dog dreams came true!!! This was gonna be my best hike EVER!!!
Free at last!

We were all having such a nice time together. I was getting lots of bacon and lots of 'good boys'. I like hiking with my people and they seem to like it when I stay with them so everybody was happy. On a drink break I thought I'd try out the selfie thing...whaddya think?
So how does this selfie thing work?

There was a little snow and ice. No problem for 4 paws. My people did OK too. They didn't even need their add on traction devices.
They call this winter but this is it for snow

STATS: Miles: I dunno, up and back Time: I dunno, I don't have a watch Other hikers: maybe 10-12, I wasn't paying attention Other dogs: one nice one, one not so nice This was my best day ever. I was a good boy. My people were so happy too. Can't wait til my next adventure, and I look forward to meeting all of you on the trail! agree.gif

You know Cedar, you could improve your selfies by getting a selfie stick. Wait, did someone just say stick? tongue.gif

Cedar My favourite dogfie is the one captioned "better". And Cedar, I know you're kind enough that when someone without any hair on their nose (can you imagine?) disparages yours that you don't come back about their long misshapened legs.

Keep Calm and Carry On? Heck No. Stay Excited and Get Outside!

Stupid dog. Didn't say where the trip report WAS. Can the owner please get the dog to log in and provide that information. Thanks. It's sort of an important part of a trip report. smoker.gif

Wow you came up with that quick. I am not so witty it would take me a week for a clever response. Nice trip report! Living vicarously thru this trip report. ( at home with flu/crud see full moon saloon ) My red pooch is baffled by our lake of activity. Its sad over here. I will not say how many times I hit refresh to check for new trip reports from today. smile.gif Final note, I didn't know what a selfie stick was till I was in Hawaii 2 weeks ago. A. Seems everyone has one but me B. Cedar should have one for sure!!! rocker.gif

"You know Cedar, you could improve your selfies by getting a selfie stick. Wait, did someone just say stick?" Sorry meant to Quote above in my last post. I guess I better go read the support thread "how to" since I am stuck at home and have time to kill. Again great trip report Cedar!

Dogs are supposed to be leashed on this trail. Please follow the law folks. The law is there for the safety of the pets hihi.gif
