I tried to take the dogs on a hike today. Loaded up Zoe the ridgeback and P.D. the long haired miniature dachshund mutt mix and headed out to Pollock's Bench area near Fruita.
I put Zoe's back pack on. She immediately acted like she was overworked by being asked to carry the dogs' water. She started out slow-walking me, then just stood there in the trail refusing to go any further. I finally convinced her to come along. After about 15 minutes at 74 degrees she started seeking out shade and stopping at each possible place to rest. I finally gave in and turned around after just 30 minutes. What a wimp! When we were almost back to the car she took a shortcut and was waiting for me in the shade when i got back to the trail head.
