Yesterday, Sundance ripped off an entire toenail while jumping out of Whitney’s truck for an evening hike. She was a trooper though and marched forth without so much as a limp. So here she is, last night, against a rad cloud.

First backpack of the season this weekend! Woohoo!
Some photos from our four-day weekend…
Winter has officially arrived. Down here, its arrival is marked by the day I get to work from home because there’s too much snow and too few plows. It happens every year. When it snows here, the roads stay covered. Small-town desert communities are ill-equipped to handle such excessive offerings from the weather gods. Though, maybe since this is the third year in a row with so much snow, city officials will finally take note and buy more plows. But in the meantime, I don’t mind occasionally working from home, and playing with the dogs in their favorite form of h2o. We got two snow days in a row! I felt like a kid again!… even though I still had to work : (
Molly got a new foster dog. Unlike me, Molly is actually capable of actually fostering. Trevor is a massive black lab mix… with great dane, or hound? We are not sure! What we do know is that Trevor is super skinny. He eats 7.5 cups of food A DAY and still his ribs stick out. He lost the weight because Dogtown stresses him out more than most. He needed a foster home where he could blossom and gain weight, so Molly took him. He joined us for a nice hike on Sunday and another today. He is happy and likes his new girlfriends. Now he just needs to pack on the pounds!
Some friends and I have been hiking our dogs every day for the past month or so (with the exception of work travel and overly sore muscles from overly ambitious hikes), but I haven’t really been posting the photos. Now that my book is done, and my new shots are not inside of it, I figure I should post more of them here. So here are a few from last night and the night before…
And yes, that is Haley taking a piss up there, but she’s just so cute I couldn’t resist…
