I loved the video and found it touching to see Shawnee again. Your colorful collection of balloons is testament to your efforts to improve our environment. I miss the days when I could manage more challenging hikes, but your blog helps me remember. Have a wonderful New Year!
What a wonderful video with such nice memories of Shawnee and now new memories with you new dog. Have a happy, Healthy, Prosperous and peaceful New Year! Joanne from NJ
Thank you so much for the year's hikes. Like many many others I loved seeing Shawnee again and miss her very much but I am so happy for Brodie being saved and turning into a very likable hiking partner for you. Wishing you and Brodie a very Happy Hiking New Year. Bill from Clifton
Thanks, Bill. Ah yes, Brodie with a bad case of cabin fever. Just too darned cold this weekend and staying home isn't sitting well with him. I think I am creating another hiking monster. Happy New Year!
Thank you for the video! You sure covered a lot in 2017...even though Shawnee was only with us until August, she hiked much more than probably most other dogs over 2 or 3 years! But it does indeed sound like Brodie is rapidly beginning to fill Shawnee's "shoes" (at least, in his attitude!)
Excellent job with the balloon collection too...48 -- doesn't this almost double last year's total? Looks like a lot of "Happy Birthday" ones, but it *surely* wasn't a happy day for the parks/trails on the day those balloons landed in them!
Anyway -- I look forward to another year of your adventures, as I'm sure Brodie does too!
Thanks, Jim. Yes, Brodie has caught the hiking fever and he totally knows the difference between a work day and a hiking day. In 2016 I found 20 balloons so yes, more than double in 2017.

Oh Shawnee, how I miss you so much! You were the best hiker ever!
ReplyDeleteThat she was, the best hiker ever! I always try to remember that Dr. Seuss quote: “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
