The dogs have had a great weekend hiking with their friends, yesterday the pups got to romp in the snow with Faren's gang and today we went to more local trails with Jody (Nutty Mutt) and Wendy's very high energy herd :-) Jody has Ryan the border collie, Abby (my favourite super-mutt ever!) and Wendy owns Xylo the "you can't keep me down!" Pit Bull mix. 7 and Fenway once again spent the vast majority of the time playing "catch me if you can!" only this time they had Ryan and Abby to contend with, who most definetely could catch them!
This group meshed VERY well together, somewhat surprisingly considering the fact that there are some rather strong personalities involved and enough spastic energy combined to power a jet engine. 7 and Fenway provided the rest of the group with some very fast moving punching bags and the rest of the dogs basically ignored eachother in the pursuit of said punching bags. Excluding Abby of course who, when frustrated by an unfruitful chase will take her frustration out on her much abused brother Ryan, who is regularly seen with little brown blur hanging off his neck during these high-speed pursuits.

And the chase is on!
Jody with her awesome camera and far superior photography skills took some really fantastic photos of this dog bonanza. Hopefully she will post them up on her blog "(no) tails of a nutty mutt" real soon so we can see them *hint hint*
If you're wondering what this hike might have looked and sounded like in live action, take a look at this video...
"look ma, no paws! Cookie now pleez"
