Dog Heaven

My person and I passed a lady on my trails and she said she thought the trails were Dog Heaven. My trails are pretty special, but I never thought of them that way before. That means that every time I leave my house and head out on my trails I’m in heaven. That means that heaven is right here – right next to my house.

That is so awesome. Someday, way far from now, I won’t have to go to the bother of crossing over the Rainbow Bridge because I’ll just have to walk out to my trails and I’ll be in heaven. There will be other dogs there, and people too, because I always see other dogs and people on my trails.

And I won’t be so far from home, so I can just stop by whenever I want. I can take my people for a walk so they’ll be in heaven too. Hey, I think that means we’re all in heaven every time we go out on my trails.

Hey person, can we go to heaven now?

Where Are We Going?

16 Jan

Today my people put my leash on and took me out to the 4Runner. They got it not too long ago and I’ve never been in it before. This is really strange.

So where were we going? The vet, or the dog hotel? I don’t see any suitcases, so I don’t think it’s the dog hotel. But my younger person never goes to the vet with us. I’m really confused.

It doesn’t take this long to get to the vet. Where are we going? We’ve been in the car a very long time.

It’s getting very bumpy now. Come on people. Where are we going?

What? Is this it? There’s a trail here. It’s not part of my usual trails. I didn’t know there were more trails. Wow! New smells and all! Where are we?

Okay people, you can look at the scenery. I’m checking out the smells. Sycamore Canyon, huh?

Come on, it’s downhill. Do I have to drag you, or are you going to start running?

Hey, there’s water here. This is fun!

No, I don’t want to get out. There’s more trail? I like the water.

A swimming hole!!!??? No way! You’ve never taken me to a swimming hole before.

Come on, throw the stick again.

This is the most fun day I’ve had ever! Can we come back here tomorrow?

Only Dog

30 Nov

The weather was perfect for heading to the trails today. A nice, sunny day and the temperature felt just right. Not too hot and not too cold. I felt a little disappointed that the mud had disappeared, but the ground was still moist which makes it more comfortable to walk on than when it is hard and dry.

My person and I saw lots of people on the trails today. When we started out we found people heading toward us from three different directions. It made it hard to decide which way to go. Which person looked the most likely to give me loves? We kept passing people – even on the trails that hardly anyone else uses.

Something was really strange though. I felt like an only dog today. I began to wonder if they’d banned dogs from the trails and nobody told me. We almost always see other dogs on the trail – but not today.

I’m trying to figure out if I should round a few of my dog friends up – or keep all the trail people to myself.

Devil’s Kitchen

26 Oct

I’m beat. My person did it to me again. We went out for our walk, but when we got to the place we normally turn back we went the other way. We go that way sometimes, but not very often. We walked along for awhile on the trail and then my person took me on another trail. She said she’d never been on this trail before, but she was taking me someplace special. She’d been there, but she’d taken her car and walked on a much shorter trail. We could have gone in the car. I wouldn’t mind.

This new trail wasn’t bad. It was mostly downhill so we could go fast. I tried to follow a couple coyote trails that I smelled, but my person said it wasn’t the right way. How did she know? She said she’d never been on this trail before.

We didn’t see many people on the way, but I heard some strange voices coming out of Coffee Pot Rock. They were all tinny and echoey. I didn’t know that that rock could talk.

Well the rock got quiet when we walked around its base. I guess we scared it. I almost didn’t recognize the rock. It looks different when you’re that close.

The trail went past a really cool house.

One little part of the trail was actually a road and we had to get out of the way when a couple vehicles came by. It was hard enough to walk up and down that road. All steep and rocky. Those vehicles were going very slow.

We finally got to the special place. I ran right up to the edge to check it out. It was nothing but a big hole in the ground. My person said it’s called Devil’s Kitchen. An underground part became hollow first and then the whole thing fell in.

After checking out that hole we headed back home. My person didn’t tell me we were going to have to go uphill.

Almost Up the Chimney

15 Oct

My person totally confused me today. Normally when we go for a walk we make a big loop – going out on one trail and back home on another. Today we got to the place where we usually turn around and go back – but we didn’t go back. My person took me on a trail I’ve never been on before and we kept walking further away from our house. I wasn’t sure what to think, but it was fun finding new smells. My person likes to drag me along when I’ve stopped for a good smell, but this time I kept trying to drag her more than she was dragging me. She kept stopping and getting her camera out. I’d be walking along and suddenly come to the end of my leash.

My person took me to a rock called Chimney Rock. You can probably figure out why it’s called that.

To get there we had to walk through some dry washes. They only have water in them when it rains.

When we got around the side of Chimney Rock it looked different. Instead of one big rock it looked like three.

We got to the top of the trail and it went back down the other side, so we stopped and rested before coming back the way we’d gone up. Someone was nice enough to leave a stick up there for me. I tried to get my person to throw it so I could go after it, but she said I might fall down the steep hill. I couldn’t convince her otherwise.
