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. |

| So, I don't know if it's even worth calling this a hike, it's .5mile round trip. We thought we'd make a mad-dash up the trail to summit in time for sunset. BARELY made it. Afterwards we just hung out up top waiting for it to get dark. City lights can be pretty cool at night as long as you ignore the whole light-pollution/no stars problem.... Appa made about 10 new friends up at the top and on our way down made 3 enemies. I love his natural instincts of "good guy - bad buy." As with most easy access "outdoorsy" areas, you're bound to run in to some druggy-hoodlums looking for a place to hide. We ran into a group of three of them and Appa HATED them. He got his "don't you dare come close to me" bark on. Hackles up. I don't think anyone would dare come close to this guy, in the dark, with that happening. I love it. Everyone else he loved and wanted to get pet by. Smart dog, Appa, smart dog... Without further a-do. Photos.

| Wow Riley, those are great pictures! We need to travel more so we can hike that kind of stuff. That's funny about Appa's bad guy sense, but great for you guys. Pretty sure anyone would think twice about messing with you with him around. _________________ 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.

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."

| Great sunset pix, Riley.
Dogs really can pick up on vibes. It's uncanny. In a fit of bad judgment, I ran with my last husky to a hardware store that had ordered a part for me. We ran through a really bad part of town and crossed a corner with major drug dealing happening.Tasha started to growl; the dealers flattened against the walls and I heard murmurs of "wolf." I think she saved my bacon.
Where are you in relation to Sandy, UT ? That's where I stay when I come to Utah to ski. |
