Dognapping 5.19.08


Earlier this week I went for a quick afterwork hike. Mike was still up in Holden and Sarah was too tired from the puppy party at her house the day before so she let me steal Nollie. (Note: I forgot my camera, so here's an overexposed stock photo of Nollie.)
Went to the Twin Falls trailhead near exit 34 in North Bend and hit the trail around 6:45. With the quick warm-up we had last weekend, the snowmelt has swollen the rivers a ton. The falls were raging and super loud. I was suprised that Nollie didn't get too freaked out on the 40 foot high bridge over the falls. Headed past the falls up to the John Wayne/Ironhorse/Pioneer/etc. trail and explored a bit off-trail. There was still just enough light to get back to the truck without using a flashlight at 9:15.
Most people who read this know that Nollie can be kind of a spaz, but i was pretty impressed with her on this hike. She was on leash the whole time and whenever she felt the leash get tight she would slow down a bit. Probably helps that there wasn't any other people or dogs around.
