Holden and Phoebe

Last year Mom was worried my backpacking days might be short-lived because of my arthritis. Thanks to some Rimadyl and Phoebe carrying our doggie backpack, this old dawg had an excellent time with the Venture Crew at Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area this past weekend. Here are a few trip highlights...

Wahoo, freedom!!!

Getting treats, one of the best things about backpacking

I love getting to be the pre-rinser

Ah, a perfect sunbeam just for me

Even Phoebe got worn out with all the hiking

Mom has dubbed Phoebes, Trail Dog In Training (T.D.I.T.)
