enjoy the metabolism while you've got it...

okay, okay, okay. yes, i realize that it's been almost a month since my last post. please don't mistake my absence for anything but being the happiest i've ever been. apparently having unconditional love in your life will do that for ya...thanks Kenai. we've been on all kinds of adventures already. we walk a lot. we get up in the middle of the night to pee a lot. we poop a lot, but only in one certain spot in the yard. we practice sitting a lot. we play fetch a lot. we practice laying down a lot. we hike a lot. we cuddle a lot. we play frisbee a lot. in a nutshell, life here is good for us.

for easter weekend we went to Zion. my dog loves to camp as much as i do. we went biking. we went hiking. we slept in a tent during a thunderstorm. we went shopping. we met lots of new friends, dogs and people alike.

at this moment life was pretty much perfect for me...my pup, a good brew, and the outdoors.

saturday we did a great hike just outside of hilldale utah. yes, that's the polygamy town. the drive through town was creepy, there's no way around that. but it was worth it to get to this great slot canyon hike.

kenai did great on his first "big boy" hike. there were only a few places where the climbs were so tall that i had to lift him up. he seemed happy. i think he liked it.

this was when we got to the part of the hike where the canyon began to slot, the part i was most excited about. but this little guy was all tuckered out...and we still had the whole hike back to the car.

i decided that after a short rest this was probably an ideal place to turn around.

about half way down on the hike out of the canyon kenai found this pine cone while we were taking a water break. he carried it at least half a mile. i figured if he liked it enough to carry it that far i should let him bring it home.

even the drive home was fun and i got a lot of laughs from hanging out with this little guy. i love him. thanks for being the perfect travel partner, kenai.
