Trials.
And Qs.
And Kate getting to get re-acquainted with littermate Brooke.
And Xen’s birthday.
But at least there are sort of pictures for the last two. And maybe some video. Somewhere. Which might, or might not, get posted sometime.
But for now, we hiked.

We including Rob, Hanna, Xen and Kate. We named the rock from the last hiking post “Kate’s Kalamity Rock.”
We didn’t take a picture of it.
Xen wasn’t entirely, always, on board with the guest list and game plan.

Xen thinks maybe Kate should’ve stayed home.

Some of it, she was okay with me, at least.

It was a lovely day, not too hot, and there was wading and swimming (if one was a border collie) and even Kate swam some, and she’s getting better at it.
She was Big and Brave in the deep bit where she freaked a bit last time we were here.

I wish I had the capability to capture decent quality video of some of the leaps they both managed, rock to rock, today. They’re just lovely!
As we were leaving, hiking up out of the lower ravine, to the stairs that take one the rest of the way, the grrrls were wrestling each other, and checking out a kid hiking down in. They didn’t come right away, so the kid hiked back up a bit to redirect them. Thank you, Dog-Savvy Kid at the Waterfall Today.
