how beautiful is this? it’s about 5 minutes east of danny’s parents house. pretty nuts. we’ve never explored the rincon mountains or these various trails and decided to load up the pooch, get some fresh air and burn off some of those holiday calories. 
good thing we own a battle tank for the dirt roads.
most people wouldn’t peg a french bulldog for hiking, but huntie is an AWESOME hiker and loves every second of it (when the weather is cool). we’ve been making a very conscious effort to make sure hunter does something active every single day and i think it’s paying off. he’s in great shape right now.
weather was a little too warm for leggings, so danny stripped them off in the middle of the trail. no big. 
ma boys. 
and then our little explorer went off-trail and got a jumping cactus in his paw. he didn’t yelp or anything, just lifted his paw up and waited for dad to get it out. 
the medical instruments for removal: two sticks. 
the evening’s color palette was so pretty and muted. 
hunter warming his muscles on the heating pad post-hike. 
he absolutely loved the heating pad (and the electric back massager). spoiled, much?
