Of my hiking buddies, he’s my favorite. I gather my gear meticulously – I don’t want to weigh myself down unnecessarily unless I want to be left in the dust. He’s always a few steps ahead with that happy smile, ready to tackle the next hill.

He doesn’t carry a pack and is always barefoot, yet I am amazed with his ingenuity in tackling the trails we follow. I’m thankful we tackle those trails together.

I whistle, “You ready, boy?” A moment later he’s bounding out of the backseat, full of enthusiasm, his leash barely containing him. “I love you, boy!”

Of course this is about my sweet dogs and not my children!

Written for 100 Word Wednesday – Week 44

How to participate? A few guidelines as we begin….

1. Simply check my feed, or search the reader, for the 100WW or tag #100WW, post each Wednesday. I’ll also be posting on my Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook Feeds.
2. Write your submission on your blog, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook Feed and ping back to the weekly blog post. Feel free to use the image provided or your own. Please do credit the artist whose image we use — Links provided 🙂
3. I have not enabled automatic pingbacks due to a plethora of spam messages attempting to link up. Do feel free to also continue posting your links and I will enable your pingbacks as I check my blog. Thank you for understanding!!
4. I’ll provide a Weekly Summary, or Windup, of posts on or by Tuesday; take the opportunity to read and comment on your fellow bloggers posts {keeping in mind to give each other grace and space}. I’ll try to read them all, but I can’t post your submission in the Weekly Windup if you haven’t posted before the end of the weekend but I’ll do my best to catch ’em all!
5. Have fun! I enjoy reading your challenge submissions 🙂
