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!
