Red Coon Hound



Today we ran into this beautiful Red Coon Hound. From a distance I thought it was a Vizsla, but he had longer ears and a dark nose and eyes. I love hounds, but I rarely see them in Marin. I took this from my blackberry, so it's not very clear. It was in the 70's on our hike this morning and Remo found the one and only water hole. He likes to cool off when it's warm.

The Great Hunter




Yesterday, we found a few rabbits and today we found some ducks. Remo is trying to sneak up to them in the water, he was getting close until Turbie decided to come barreling up to them.

Happy Birthday Brian




Last night we celebrated Brian's B-day. We did a fun hike with the dogs and then we ended up in Pt. Reyes at Osteria Stellina...yummy. So much fun!

Dogs Know




This morning we headed out to the Alta Trailhead in the Headlands, but it didn't last long. The dogs usually hit the trail running with their tails wagging straight up in the air, but not this morning. After about 5 minutes into the hike Turbie stood between my legs with her tail down. She then headed back to the truck with her tail down. She's a smart dog with a very keen nose, much more than Remo. I think she sensed danger and I didn't want to stick around and find out. There are a lot of coyotes in this area or there's always an occasional mountain lion siting. The dogs know best, so we left.

Next stop was the Corte Madera Wetlands and it was wet. All that rain made ponds in the areas we use to walk through...it was deep enough in some places for them to swim. Unbelievable all the rain we got in the past few weeks. I had a hard time find high ground for walking, but the dogs had a great time.

Sunny Day



Finally, some sunshine. It was so nice to go out today and soak up some sun. We had a great time hiking in the Headlands this morning.
