Mom says now that the temps of summer have broken, she is going to take us hiking more often.  Geez, I didn't mind the heat, but mom and Halo like it cooler.  Anyway, mom took all us kids to Turkey Creek this last weekend.  We went with friends (three of mom's friends and another furkid GSP named Hannah).  Well Belle and Halo got to go off leash because this is a really cool 3 mile loop where dogs are allowed off leash, and Belle and Halo are reliable.  Mom said I had to be on leash cause I'm not reliable yet and I am way to fast.  It was still fun because she put me on a flexi and I got to go out to the end of the flexi.  My sisters were pretty good about staying with me too.  Hannah is a pretty cool friend.  She is an 8 year old GSP that has been rescued.  She says her new forever home is the best. 

Well back to the hike.  It was really awesome.  Belle and Halo were a little disappointed because they said there is usually water (11 creek crossings) on this trail, but due to the dry summer the creeks and springs are all dried up.  Except for one mud hole that is.  I found that slimmy mud hole with green stuff on top.  I almost got into it too, then mom looked up and saw what I was doing... Boy did she yell. 

That hike was really long - 3 miles.  Of course, my sisters did about 10 miles and I probably did more than the 3 miles even on my flexi.  We met some other dogs on the way.  Mom wouldn't let me run up and greet the other dogs until I had been properly introduced.  That is something I am also learning at puppy school.  But I met allot of other dogs.  It sure was fun, and I sure was pooped by the time we got back to the car.

Mom says we get to do it again next weekend and she is going to take her camera this next trip.  So, hopefully I will have some pictures to post next time.
