Photo: Timber, Sulatna, Chena, Liller (all deceased); Frita, still walking with us!Just a quick tribute to all of the walking dogs who are no longer with us. Every day was a grand adventure with each of these good dogs. We often met wildlife along the trails, most noteable, perhaps was the day we met a coyote who was eyeing a skunk... we did get away without a whiff. Or the day Timber treed something , which we still can't identify ( groundhog, baby bear, not sure). He also treed a turkey one day. Or the day Scuba went after a bear that was huffing and clawing a tree (two dogs and I turned tail but she investigated). There were a few porcupine incidents. One day Chena mistook a fat porcupine for her big beach ball, running to grab it with two front legs around it. After having the more than 100 quills removed, she never went near her big ball again.
One morning we were walking along and just over a blind rise came a fox. It leaped in the air and turned and ran from the seven dogs. None pursued it, not sure why.
