Hiking

Saturday, February 03, 2024

A friend from years ago when we worked together at Northrop, happened across me on Facebook and got in touch. Reconnecting has brought many memories from the days we were cycling through our individual complex transitions. Now, knowing that our lives have worked well and that we’ll be talking again feels good.

Yesterday was a hiking event. My dogs and I, with our friend Rachelle and her dog Ryder. Today’s header photo shows Ryder and Chase, “all teeth,” playing nonstop. It was good, them running and faux-combating. After an event with Ryder and back at home, Chase collapses into my favorite moments, him asleep and quiet.

The others, too, back at home sleep quietly. Here are the elderly Osix and Miles running and wearing themselves out.

And the littlest, my very loyal Mitzvah, a Jack Russell/Poodle. She stays close and guards against any strangers and dogs that happen toward us.

Mitzvah is small but very courageous–willing to run with my horses and keeps appropriate distances from active hooves. She’s a Jack Russell-active and Poodle-smart pup.

Dear Friends: Our hike revealed zero early signs of spring, but we had lots of fun. Diana
