Fall Hike

It was absolutely gorgeous out yesterday. I was settling in for a morning of chores, but Cali looked up at me with her big brown eyes, and I knew there were more important things to do.

I put her orange safety vest on her, Safety first! We headed out to a local trail. It was a perfect Fall day, the weather was crisp, but not cold, and the leaves were beautiful.

The reflection of the leaves on the water was so pretty.

Cali seemed to be in a mood to behave herself, so I let her off leash. She proved me right and did a great job.  She stayed right by my side.

She got a bit excited when a family with a dog crossed our path, so I scooped her up and we walked by. Later, some ladies crossed by, and they wanted to say “Hello” to Cali, so I let her go, and she gave them kisses without jumping up, good girl!

As we were finishing up our walk, an older couple crossed by and I could tell they weren’t happy that Cali was off leash. I called her over to me and told her to stay, and she hung out right by my side without bothering the couple. We finished up our walk and headed back to the car.

I came home and still managed to get Hector’s cage cleaned up, cleaned cat boxes, and did some laundry,  but I’m so glad I took the time to breathe in some fresh air, stretch my legs, and give my furry friend a chance to do the same.

Enjoy your free time!
