Little Socks
Socks is about to turn 14, and still loves his walks. He's more independent than Laika, but still loves to hang out with his family. With his thick fur, he's usually on top of a blanket rather than under one.

Snuggling Dogs
Our dogs aren't best buddies, but once in a while they'll snuggle up next to each other, like in this cellphone shot.

Trees, Dogs, & Shadows
Taken at the nearby Fox Run Park last weekend, you can see my two little dogs in this first shot if you look carefully. They love to go somewhere, and are so excited to get in the car with me!
This one's simply got lovely trees and shadows.

Snow Dogs
My city is at the same latitude as Lisbon, or a little further south than Beijing. But since our elevation is so high we can get extremely varied weather. While we've had plenty of warm, sunny weather, it's still snowing on occasion. This has been the scene twice this week - I took these with the cellphone just few days ago. With his thick fur coat Socks doesn't mind the white stuff.
On the other hand Laika's not a fan, although she's still happy to get outside.

Relaxing
If I'm relaxing with some music or a video game our little critters often join me. Long-haired Socks snuggles on top of the blanket...
...while short-haired Laika burrows under it!

Hiking Socks
Here's a shot of Socks on a recent hike - we hiked five miles, climbing to a place on Pikes Peak known as The Crags. Socks and Laika both walked the whole way with me. They get so excited when they see me get my hiking gear ready!

Our First Dog
Here's a current shot of our first dog, Socks. He's 12 years old, and while he's turning grey and getting a little hard of hearing, he still loves to play and go for walks. A couple of weeks ago he happily hiked five miles with me. Next week I'll show you our other dog.

King and Queen of the Mountain
We climbed a nearby mountain this morning, a little over 9,040 feet high (2.75 km).
People asked if my little dogs really climbed all the way up. Of course they did, scrambling up a few rocks when necessary, and they enjoyed every minute. If I'm getting my hiking gear ready they won't let me leave the house without them!

Cute Socks
My little buddies and I went for a 4.1 mile (6.6 km) in a nearby park this morning; they love to join me and get very excited when they see me getting ready to go. Here's a recent shot of the 11-year-old one.

Back to Winter
We had 14 inches of snow (35 cm) on Saturday, and one of our dogs wasn't happy about it.
That brings our total snowfall to 103 inches(261 cm) for the winter. I'm very glad I had the snowblower repaired.
Both dogs would rather be here.

Snowy Dogs
We had a little snow yesterday, but these photos are from a few weeks ago when we had a big storm. Socks doesn't mind the snow - he's got the fur coat for it. I call him my winter dog.
But Laika is built for hot weather - she's my summer dog. It's unfortunate for her that she lives 7,100 feet (2.1 km) above sea level where it frequently snows!

Black Forest Park
I've posted from the local Black Forest Regional Park before, and I'm sure I'll do so again because it's easy to get to and is rather pretty.
The dogs love it too.
Unfortunately parts of it were burned in a massive wildfire a couple of years ago, but it won't stop us from visiting.

Park Dogs
These photos were taken on a short hike in the Black Forest regional park. Laika loves to explore and checks everything out...
Socks is older and just hangs out close to me.
