First Hike

We took River for his first 10K hike yesterday. That's roughly 3 hours at a good pace.

After 2 hours we had to stop and rest for a while. Poor pouch was panting non-stop... then again it was pretty hot out. 10K was a bit much for me too and I enjoyed the break.

It wasn't our intention to go for that long of a hike right off the bat but we picked a new trail in Elk Island National Park and didn't check until a quarter into it what the kilometers were. Oops.

Still, River slept for the whole night for the first time since we brought him home... in the living room. Yeah, he's still pretty mad at us for having to continually put eye drops in. We can only use a trick once before he learns it. Such are the troubles with smart dogs I suppose.
