Nice job, Roberta!

because these have two Velcro straps instead of just one, they really stay on. They have a foam cushioned liner at the strap line which allows you to really tighten them. http://www.ultrapaws.com/Ultra-Paws-Durable-Dog-Boots/productinfo/303D/ Best I've ever found for winter - and I've tried many!

Keep me in the loop on your postponed date, Tim. I'm around Feb 9-10.

Aside from all of the excellent tips already posted, it never hurts to check what's been broken out : Www.newenglandtrailconditions.com :-)

Yay! Happy Pup! Hampton Hiker, I think we met at the Sawyer River Rd Trailhead about a month ago. We were headed to Vose Spur.

Wow- great share, Cyohman! We fell in love with the Pacific Northwest this fall when we visited Olympic Natl Park. Hope we can make it back one day to see & experience more? :-)

Way to go, Forum Hiker. :)

Trails: Blueberry Ledge Trail, Blueberry Ledge Cut-off, Rollins Trail, Dicey's Mill Conditions: Microspikes required for Blueberry Ledges, Rollins Trail, and approach to Passaconnaway summit. Heavy ice flows. Many tangled blowdowns on Rollins Trail. Excellent new stonework on Blueberry Ledge...

Ouch, Lost Dad....that's brutal. Have a bit more time now to add some more thoughts~ A few thoughts on booties. I've experimented with many over the years, and lost quite a few. For your Aussie, Sierra, or any dog that tends to ball ice in the feet -- a few tips. Keep the fur between the...

Ellen, Hand signals are super easy to train. Most training is started with a lure - sweeping hand signal with treat in hand that is delivered once dog has found position. Then lure is faded and hand signal is slowly made more subtle than initial sweeping gesture. Verbals are usually last...

Hi Hiking Lady So sorry to hear about your friend. The extra large breeds, in general, do not have the endurance that the other size ranges do. In addition, Pyr's are bred to be a flock guardian, spending thier time patiently watching the flock from afar. They are not intended to herd, but to...

Nice Arm! Bet ya didnt see to many other thru hikers :-) Just remembering when I was a backpacker - long before the lists took hold- ya got up, got walking no matter what the weather or how you felt to get to your next night's rest- mountains in between? No problem! :-). Its not the individual...
