Hit The Trail With the Boys, Part I

Woo, everypup and everycat! It's me - Dave. Did you all see Zim's post yesterday and how he said he needed to store up some energy for a Monday afternoon adventure? Well, he did get to go on one - and I went, too!

I was all excited when Mom called us both; I couldn't wait to see where we were going! We started walking our normal morning route...

I wonder where we're going, Zim!

...and we kept on going until we saw this!

Me, checking the sign post

Oh, pup! The Hudson Trail! Zimmie and I couldn't wait to smell all the cool smells on the trail and Mom couldn't wait to take more pix of the wildflowers! Remember the Jerusalem Artichokes we showed you on Sunday? They were right by the trail marker. Well... they're gone now! No blooms at all! (See photo above.) Mom was disappointed, but not me. There were all kinds of messages left there for me and Zim! Ha woo!

Oh, don't worry about Mom! We saw lots of sunflowers like this one on the way there, so she was a happy hiker:

Here we are, about to head down the part of the trail we showed you the other day:

It's always nice and shady and cool on the trail, plus great smells, usually squirrels busy gathering nuts and doing other squirrel stuff, and all kinds of cool things to smell and see.

Mom liked these berries:

They weren't there the other day! Things come and go fast this time of the year!

Speaking of fast, before we knew it we were at the end of that part of the trail. We crossed the street and I thought we were going to turn like we did last time - but Mom said, "Let's cross and go down the next part of the trail!" She didn't need to tell us twice!

C'mon, Dave! Let's go!

That part of the trail isn't paved, so we only get to go on it when we have dry conditions. Something about mud... paw prints... messy Siberians... I'm not sure. Plus it was cool out, so we weren't too hot or anything!

We have more pix to share with you from the rest of the walk. We'll get those posted Thursday, I think. Storm said she and Ammy are doing Wordless Wednesday together tomorrow! Woo! Be sure to tune back in!

Thanks for hitting the trail with us!
Luv,
Dave

  2. What great walkies - we love off road hiking - it is the best - and the messier the better - mommy gave up a long time ago - Sweetie is a very messy girl and brings mud back into the house all the time

  3. Hi Dave and Zim,

    Beautiful photos and great trail. The sunflowers and berry photos are also very pretty. Scrappy is wondering if he can eat some of those berries please.

    We look forward to your walks so thanks for sharing them all the time.

  4. Very good walkings! That is a nice little park with a seement walkway. Sometimes on Nature Trails you just have to walk on what nature provides!

  7. That looked like a great hike with lots of good smells!
    We cannot understand why humans don't like mud - we find it very relaxing - especially if you get the chance of a nice roll in it.
    Our mum was loving the sunflowers as always.
    We met a siberian husky when we were up north!
    Of course we immediately thought of you guys, well and Kira & Khyra, but we thought about you all............
    love you lots

  15. Thank you for sharing your hike with me! Lovely places you walk in, although I would have liked some muddy photos, mud is so restful and sooothing to the soul - I think.

    The sunflowers looked beauteous, but I liked the pics of you two best of all.

  18. What exactly is wrong with mud - paw prints - messy Siberians? That pretty well describes us on a GOOD day.

  21. It was fun going on the trail with you boys today! Dirt-trailing is the best isn't it? Feeling the dirt between your paws and all. I don't get to feel the mud between my paws either. Mom's are spoil sports.

    Hey GUYS,
    Di y'all sing "Happy Trails To Woo" while you were hiking. It would have been very appropriate. How come the Hudson Trail is in Kansas? Hudson Bay isn't in Kansas. The Hudson River isn't in Kansas either. What gives?

    Sillies! Siberians are NEVER messy... errr... if they are... they somehow magically clean up fast... at least mine does... to avoid the "B" word!

  30. We really enjoyed walking that trail with you. We wish we could have 'safe & Dog-friendly' trails here. Every outing here is fraught with mom worrying about all sorts of safety issues. Thank you for sharing your walk...wish we could be with you.

  35. I knew it! Zimmie always gets to go on the adventures, he just rotates the other lucky pup who gets to go with him. I guess that's why he's Zimmie Mawson, Explorer Sibe.
