About a month after Caleb and I rescued little Miss. Scout Bailey, we decided it was time to take her on her first backpacking trip to see how she would handle it. I had camped with her before (and she did fine) and we had hiked with her before (which she was also fine with), so it was time to see if she would be okay with the combination of both. We settled on backpacking one night up Eagle Creek, it is about 7 miles to camping (one way).
We headed out Friday afternoon. Scout LOVED it, and had a great time. She did really well and had a TON of energy the entire hike (how?). Saturday morning, since no one was around - we started hiking around 7am - we let her off leash for most of the way back and she did great. We figure 7-8 miles would probably be her max in a day (she was definitely beat at at end of the days) but more hikes are in our future for sure :) We are even looking into getting her a little backpack to carry her own stuff as well!
^ Scout loves to sniff EVERYTHING. We think she is part hound. We brought her a bone, and she promptly buried it, it was adorable. I think everything she does is adorable.
^ our little camp spot.
Annddddd our adventure dog! :
^our campsite was right thru these trees and to the left.
We weren't sure how Scout would like the water, and she didn't love it at first. I think that she was never outside before she came to us, because she doesn't really seem to understand some things (like water, of pooping in the grass) but she is doing so much better and she was so cute in the water, after Caleb showed her how!
She was so cute waiting in our campsite for us in the morning.
^ these are my favorite pictures. I love them together!
^ the fires on the way back turned the ski a seriously questionable color.
