Dogs just know how to suck in nature. Literally.
A huge part of our day consists of examining trees, scrubs and inanimate objects and then peeing on them. Our mission … to search and expel any indication of others being there.
Charlie always waits his turn and he’s usually the victim of my back kick shuffle. It’s a hoot … until somebody has to wear a cone.
Mom just stands there and takes pictures, while dreaming of John Muir.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far! ~John Muir
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” ― John Muir
