Go Outside This Weekend

After quite a bit of snow and sleet earlier this week, yesterday was beautiful and today is already in the 70's and gorgeous.
My granddog got his first taste of hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia last Saturday--Humpback Rock, a short but steep trail http://virginiatrailguide.com/2009/06/18/humpback-rock/
He was carried through the muddy spots (would you let that soft, chenille-ish coat get muddy??) but soldiered through the majority of the trek on his own four paws.  Whatta guy!
