Hiking with your new puppy!
Okay so I recently adopted a Hound Dog puppy from the local Humane Society and he.is.the.best.
A very handsome 3 month old Otis Magee Wappler
If you know me at all or follow along on any of my social media accounts, you know I’m obsessed with my (and everyone else’s) animals, and try and incorporate them into our adventures as much as possible. So this year I decided to go on one of my favorite, but more challenging hikes at Ohiopyle State Park, and bring the new little guy! This hike is roughly 8 miles (up hill both ways, seriously) and we always spend the night in one of the epic state park’s lean-to. Might as well start out Otie out with our super active lifestyle while he’s young!
little man was only 9 weeks old at the time, but he did the first two-ish miles all on his own. Thank goodness his super dad was there to carry him the rest of the way!
Wet from the rain and his first few miles, Otie stayed snug in his pack while we got the fire rollin in our lean-to
Once we all dried off from the rain and got our fire started, it was time to make some grub
My little family <3
