Happy boys up the caroll rim trail at Painted Hills.

Obes (Obie, Oberon) is our ride or die pup that would walk across Oregon if I asked him. We're training for our summer backpacking trips. Guinness is our dock-diving caretaker that is happiest in the water or just sitting with his head on your lap.

Both pups are named after beer.

Our pups are the best.

Apollo is a handsome pup. Looks in charge too. Thanks for sharing.

This is Bucky, looking totally soaked and exhausted after a day of hiking and swimming.

Even though Cooper passed away a month ago because of cancer he was a great companion for hiking, fishing, driving and just hanging out with. We will be spreading his ashes at most of the places he enjoyed. One picture is from a beach hike and the other on the trail to Si and Fish Lakes on the upper Clackamas just before the fires occurred.

And, I'm sure he is very happy. :)

I'm sorry. It is so hard to say goodbye. They are the best hiking pals ever. My buddy Ellie has been diagnosed with kidney failure. At almost 14 years, she doesn't know it yet. I plan to make the most out of the time we have. Crossing fingers it is years.
