Late Summer Hike

Managed to get out for a short hike with Sean and his dogs

If you look up ahead of Sean, you'll see Yoshi. She's still the same old Yoshi as far as I can tell.

The dog dynamic was kind of funny. CJ and Zephyr are the old dogs. They hang back with Sean and I while the kids (Yoshi and Gretchen) run all over the place.

Every once in a while CJ or Zephyr will get off track and Sean or I will be yelling (the old ones are deaf or play deaf) to get them back in line.

Meanwhile Gretchen and Yoshi are off over the hills chasing who knows what. No use trying to get their attention.

Every once in a while the kids get a little rowdy for the old ones and bump into one. The old ones take it upon themselves to remind the kids who they're dealing with and the kids quickly take their recklessness elsewhere.

Though maybe rude, I find it kind of funny if and when we come upon another dog. The new dog is like fresh meat. The kids run to play and greet not knowing what kind of demeanor the new dog may have. I guess because it's two of them (Yoshi and Gretchen) they don't seem to care if the new dog wants none of it. They're two young energy explosions with two older meaner minders to back them up.

It must be a blast for them.
