Birthday Hike

 

So on my birthday this year, I decided to.. hide. I mean hike.

 

Jack and I started off the morning around the neighborhood. For short walks, especially through dumb city-dogs-are-people-too territory, Jack with a large toy in his mouth is for the best. Don't tell Uncle Bobby we stole his football from the cabin. Oopsie.

After rush hour died down, we went up to the Tokul area for a loop and play in a big field up there. My mom told me she was sick of all the pictures of just Jack, so I took a selfie, hiking with dog style. I love that he's looking at the camera.

 

 

After lunch at the North Bend Bar and Grill, we hung out at Snoqualmie Point Park. Basically the day was jumping from one big place to play fetch to another. Once he knows where we are going, he grabs a ball and pulls me until we get to the field. Like a Labrador Retriever pulling to the lake I suppose.

 It was so windy up there. He's not pleased that I'm staging this photo. Note the mud all over his face. We had a fun day. :)
 

Oh, here's the mud. And the ball. On the way back from the field. Noticing a trend here...

 

Here's another selfie. That word sucks. Here's another picture of the two of us. Jack looks like a horse here, but the other ones I took are either him barking or my hair billowing in my face. Horse picture it is.

 

 

Nice day off from work spent at a slower pace with my best buddy. We went home and I met a couple of friends and my family for dinner too - lucky me!

 

The day ended with a quick walk through the park near our house. Credit where credit is due, Jess took this picture, but I had to use it here. I love it so much - even considering the sissy daisy leash.

 

I often toy with the idea of tattooing the silhouette of his ears on the inside of my finger. Those crazy batman ears deserve a tribute. :)
