Happy Thanksgiving



When Kessler and I got home from work on Wednesday, Chip surprised us with this project he had been working on. This dog door will free Kessler from having to spend too much time in her crate. It was perfect timing because we are dog sitting for Zoey, who is very comfortable with the dog door- what better way for Kessler to learn, than from a friend who can demonstrate it's wonders to her.



Usually we like to ski on Thanksgiving day. Mother Nature had other things in mind this year. It was chilly and gorgeous out today, but no snow. Therefore, we hiked Black Mountain with the two black dogs. This hike is long and burly at times. The best part is, it is only five minutes from our house, as you can see. This is Chip and Kessler just up from the trailhead.

After many hours of hiking, Kessler was tired. She likes to keep up with her side kick, Zoey, but lacks in maturity and longevity. So, we tried to give her a break a few times. She appreciated it and got right back to chasing and climbing after a little rest.

I don't know who is cuter- Chip, or Kessler. :)

"Zoey"- Pam and Justin's dog who really likes to play WWF with Kessler and is a rugged climber. We have loved having her the past few days.

I still can't quite figure out how Kessler is rigged up in that backpack but it sure is cute! What an amazing view from the top of your hike - postcard perfect. I loved having you guys around to be a part of the Thanksgiving feast yesterday.

Nice dog door. Hudson still needs one of those.
