Hey folks, I found this survey about hiking and backpacking with dogs. I have nothing to do with it, however it’s definitely in line with info found on this site. Even if you don’t take the time to fill it out, please take a look at it. It’s a good look at how traildoggers are…
I went to the presentation by Jeff Alt last night and had lots of fun. I now have some reading material, new friends, and some events to post on here in the upcoming months. When I got home I got an email from Tom Mangan of Two-Heel Drive. When I saw the email my jaw…
A few weeks ago I was in Cincinnati at an outfitter and picked up a book by local author, Jeff Alt. I’m almost done with A Hike for Mike, which is good because tomorrow (Dec. 3, 2007) Jeff is doing a talk at the Miami Group Sierra Club monthly meeting. He’ll be talking about the…
I fat fingered my URL the other day when I was coming here to post how Beau did in Canada. I instead got a Google search for my website. Nothing major, right? WRONG.

I’m settling in well in my new place. There is a TON of dayhiking literally in my back yard. There’s also a good deal of great overnight to weeklong trips just hours away, which will be awesome for weekend jaunts.
Hey folks, I’m just dropping a quick line to let you all know that I’m moving. The site is migrating servers some time this weekend. You shouldn’t notice much of a change, but things might be slow or unavailable at times. Also, I’m changing jobs and as such am moving to a different area of…
Today my Lucydog passed away in her sleep. She was a great dog– the first one that was mine and not the whole family’s. She was rescued in 1996 at about 4 years old. I’ll never know how old she was for sure, but if she wasn’t already 15, she was close.
We made the trip up to Canada again for a UKC dog show hosted by the Maple Leaf Kennel Club. This time it was in Georgetown, ON. Right out of the gate on Saturday morning Beau won the Champions class for the final win needed for his Grand Champion title. He went on to win…
