A week ago Saturday we went on a family hike near Golden. You may notice that there are two family members missing from the picture above. 1) Me who is taking the picture and 2) Bowen who isn't allowed to go on hikes anymore. Bo loves to be outside and go on walks and hikes but he has some serious anxiety problems around dogs he doesn't know. I feel bad for the big guy - we rescued him when he was approximately 1 year old and I don't think he got properly socialized in his life before us. I think sometimes he gets scared and anxious around other dogs and, because he's such a big guy, he's learned that sometimes he can control that anxiety by being aggressive towards the other dogs. This makes him a huge pain to take on walks and things and hiking is the worst of all because you can't really get far off the trail to avoid other dogs. So he doesn't get to go hiking much anymore and most of the time Hailie has to stay home with him (poor girl - there are lot of things she doesn't get to do anymore because of Bowen). This time we decided that Bo could deal at home alone and Hailie got to come along.
LT loves being outside.
