phelix goes hiking

This morning, after breakfast (and Phelix’s nap), we loaded up in the car and headed out to Sweetwater Creek State Park for a hike with the puppy.

We first headed down to the creek and did some rock scrambling. Phelix *loved* the water. The frigid water. He was ready to jump in and SWIM! A dog who loves water? Awesome!! I hope we’ll find a camping beach that allows crazy dogs.

Phelix started pulling hard on his leash, and we eventually discovered that if he was in front of us all, he didn’t pull. Otherwise, he wanted to catch up to whoever was up front. He refused to walk up the “grate” stairs … not surprised there. Halfway through, Chloe’s heel started to hurt; she whined until she found a pair of walking sticks. Of course, once she had sticks, someone wanted *her* sticks. Silly boy.
