I'm really thankful for my girls today. We got in

I'm really thankful for my girls today. We got in a little car accident but everyone is totally fine which I attribute to Thierry's reflexes and luck. It's crazy how fast life can take a turn.

Grateful that nothing's happened and currently Noodle is taking the entire bed and Whiskey's cuddled up in her own massive bed by my feet. Hurray for getting through the day! On to the next.

#storytime
So this morning I was at the dog park for a one hour walk and was heading home. I had taken my friends dog as well so I opened up the back car door and asked the doggies to load up. Whiskey and rental pup load up just fine. I look for Bourbon, she's like 50m back at the entrance to the park frozen in judgement, a very Gremlin look on her face. I don't know if she left the car and went back as a protest to?? The end of the dog walk? Sharing the car with more dogs? Our current treat selection? I'm not sure.

Anyways, I call her a couple times and she doesn't move a muscle. I decide to teach her a lesson and close all the car doors and start up the car (there's no cars at the lot, it's totally empty and we live rural so it's safe). Nothing. I back up and drive slowly out of the parking lot. Nothing. She's still up there, frozen like a birddog, calling my bluff. 💀💥🤦. I finally drive back like an idiot, grab my leash and load her up. She doesn't resist the leash or come apologetically towards me but made sure I understood what she thought of me by rolling those little gremlin eyes.

Anywho, I came home, told Thierry and he said he'd tried the same thing yesterday to the same effect. I guess she's playing both of us. Happy 6 months Bourbon! Please go easy on us...

#Throwbackthursday to this summer when I completed

#Throwbackthursday to this summer when I completed my longest one-day hike with Whiskey at 43km (I've completed 100km previously but that's another story). We hiked to and from Berg Lake with @ridgebacksonridges because dogs are not allowed to camp onroute and I've finally had the time to write a bit about it on my blog ⬆️.

I've been terrible at keeping up the blogging but it really does bring me joy to reflect on what I've done and learned. My summers are so packed in, I just go from one adventure to another and there's so much more meaning when I can look back at maps and photos and remember those little moments inbetween.

Is there anything you might be interested in hearing more details about? Any hike I've done, roadtrip, or topic that might be interesting to you? Let me know and I'll see if I can work it in! I've been balancing past hikes with most-asked questions.

Bourbon's first week of LOG LOG! She wasn't quite

Bourbon's first week of LOG LOG! She wasn't quite understanding LOG etiquette but thankfully Whiskey was a patient teacher.

Us two, we're aging together. Every year our kne

Us two, we're aging together.

Every year our knees hurt a little bit more. Our hips feel it after some crazy hike, and we actually don't mind a day off the long distances so we can just enjoy life at camp. We're getting a little thicker on the sides, and little more grey hairs, and choose our friends a little more carefully.

These days we watch the young one running around off trail and would rather chill on a rock and share a bit of ham and cheese than chase her. Don't get me wrong, we're still up for those crazy long days chasing peaks and epic trails with loads on our backs, but we just might be taking each step with a bit more intention and a bit less bounce.

I strongly prefer my Bourbon chilled, neat, smooth

I strongly prefer my Bourbon chilled, neat, smooth, with a tasting note of strong spice and opinion.
