Snow day

Laura and I hit the trail early with Scout to get a good trek in at the Waterloo River Basin. A great area to run dogs and back country ski. Today we hiked around for a couple hours.

Scout always ready to play took off on us for about 20 minutes chasing who knows what. We worked our way back along the trail and he finally caught up with us. The ole what you guys do'n, ain't this great look on his face.



Lots of great trails to take advantage of. Not too many people use this area. Most head to Lapham Peak with all the other gear and garb posers.

Scout never tires on the trail. A rare moment as he is actually sitting still for a moment.




We saw another guy (Mark) out there with his black labs - Scout and Glarus. The dogs had a ball chasing each other around. Perfect day for a hike.






Scout loves his sticks. When we first got Scout from the Dane County Shelter, he had no play skills. Not sure what the first 6 months of his life was like, but he is on easy street now.
