Sycamore Canyon

February's monthly Leash Your Fitenss hike was so much fun, and boy did we have a great big turnout!

Lots of my regular friends came out, but so did a bunch of new ones! Its always fun meeting new friends!

We did a new trail that I'd hadn't been on before. Mom had mountain biked here a long time ago...but she never took me to hike here. Sycamore Canyon Open Space Preserve is beautiful, and only about 20 minutes from the house. We should hike here more often!!

It was a gorgeous day for a February. A little on the warm side, so we started early to beat the heat.

Guess who I got to see again!?! Snapdragon!! She was adopted by some friends of ours and is thriving! She has a brother & a sister dog, and two sister cats. Here's a picture of her with her big sister Marci...her brother Andi is in the back of Marci but you can't really see him. Doesn't she look great?

Snapdragon (now called Luna) was SO happy to see me (and Mom too). She started yelping and crying like crazy when she spotted me, and when we got to hike off leash she stuck right next to me. It was the sweetest thing!

We had so much fun! Running thru the fields...and there was no one else out there so it was great!

A number of years ago there was a big fire that came thru and burned the old Ranch House that was on the property. They've since build another one, but they are still trying to figure out what to do with the old structure. It was pretty cool.

I got lots of kisses from Luna!

Luna & her new family

Another fun day, and I was exhausted by the time we got home. I love my Leash Your Fitness family!

Snow Day at Laguna Mountain

One of the best things about living in Sandy Eggo is our proximity to everything fun. Oh...and the weather. :)

With an average high, year round of between 65 and 75...this really is a great place to live. Of course, we do get extremes sometimes (at least extremes for us!), and last week was one of those extremes.

A super cold storm blew threw Sandy Eggo, bringing snow levels down to about 3000 feet. That meant our local mountains got a nice fresh dumping of snow. That was Tuesday & Wednesday of last week. The rest of the week, we've had blue skies and beautiful temperatures...with cold nights. Perfect to keep that snow safe and sound until the weekend when Mom didn't have to work and we could go play!!

We headed up to the mountains around 8:30 in the morning. Better to beat the crowds!

We arrived to perfect conditions. It was pleasantly warm, with not a cloud in the sky.

Of course, I had to stop and make some yellow snow.

And then it was game on! Zoomies in the snow!

Mya tried to catch me in a game of tag, but with my long legs I could sail thru the deep snow.

eat my snow!

check out my cool shadow!

fast, like a cheetah!

I could hear lots of critters under the snow...they were teasing and teasing, but I just couldn't find where they were!

hello? anybody down there?

Come out come out where ever you are!

ok, then...I'll dig you out!

only professionals should try this type of drooling

this is the same hike we do every year when we go camping with Leash Your Fitness. The lake looked a little cold though!

Snow hiking makes a dog hungry!

Nom Nom Nom

one last romp before heading home!

Seriously fun day!
