    This spring has been pretty dreary. Today was the first nice weekend day in some time so I ran the Hounds up a small local mountain to start getting them in shape for some bigger hikes. This was the first pack hike up a substantial mtn since Jackson's knee surgeries in Feb of '18, it was good to have them all together and healthy.

    I was thinking the same thing. All those pictures are so panoramic. I still have no idea how he trained all 5 dogs to be so obidient.

    That's great to hear! Maple's xray did show inflammation on April 1st, still limped, but is almost 100%

    Glad you were able to get out. I was at my dad's today in the catskills, he's 2000', it was snowing! Uggg

    DaveGunter Making hounds sit like that for photos is no insignificant accomplishment. IMHO, Hounds aren't dogs, they are hounds. Not saying that in a bad way, they just are.:salute:

    It's very comfy back there, I climbed in with the Hounds once and had my wife drive around just so I would know what it's like.
