| Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Bodhi, two friends and I hiked up Hardy Ridge in the Columbia Gorge in beautiful weather today. Hardy Ridge is behind Beacon Rock and just west of Hamilton Mountain. Bodhi and I have hiked it twice before. This time was pretty early. It was spring down below near the Columbia River, and still winter on top with snow only recently melting. We started in the forest on an old logging road.  The logging road ascended, paralleling the ridge. We followed switchbacks up to a low spot in the ridge. Bodhi led the way with my friends joking that I was being towed.  The wind was blowing pretty hard on top. Bodhi drank all his water.  We could see Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Bonneville Dam and red tailed hawk flying above Hamilton Mountain.   On the way down, we found tiny glacier lilies poking up from where the snow had just melted.  Coming off the ridge was really steep, so out came the trekking poles. Bodhi was pulling like crazy and the sections with ball-bearing rocks were a challenge. I had to do some pretty weird contortions to barely stop falling on my face. Bodhi would look back at me like, "Come on dad- I'm taking you dry land water skiing!" 8.1 miles and app. 2000 ft. gained and lost |

| Gorgeous, as always! I love the Pacific Northwest! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you become a fierce defender of the ways in which your little one is perfectly ordinary — all the things he or she can do that are just like what everybody else does. And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey" Shadow - 03/01/2013 - 10/02/2014  |
