WALKING, HIKING, BIKING, EXPLORING LIGHTHOUSE COUNTRY TRAILS DOGGY STYLE.

"The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog" (Edward Hoagland).

Summer is almost here, life is getting busy with visitors, road trips, sailing, gardening, walking, hiking, biking & exploring!! The weather is unpredictable, warm & sunny, chilly & cloudy, but not too rainy.

Where is my ball?

Walking, hiking, biking & exploring are definitely one of my top priorities at the moment as I am babysitting my grand-doggie Kaya for a month or so while my daughter & her partner are off trekking Europe. So we will be having fun exploring the area looking for new walking, hiking, biking trails in & around Lighthouse Country.

It's in here somewhere.

Kaya loves coming here & exploring the trails & having fun sniffing for squirrels & rabbits, & the thrill & chase when she finds one!! Then there are all the creeks, rivers & ocean where she has fun bounding after seagulls, ducks & geese, swimming for her ball & just having the delight of charging into the water with sheer joy; she is a retriever, so all her senses are off & running.

Beginning of trek, Princess Kaya, looking beautiful, fluffy & clean.

Today's walk, hike, bike, explore adventure was one we have done many times in the Bowser area. 

Rex leading the way.

Rex, her friend came trekking with us & the 2 of them had moments of utter nuttyness crashing through the bush & splashing & chasing each other in the water in utter abandonment. There is nothing like witnessing dogs enjoying moments of total happiness.

Grannie Frannie, throw me this stick.

Kaya having a soak or looking for fish!

We came home stinking, wet, muddy & full of burrs & things along 

with big smiles. Now we are crashed out for a while!!

Love tearing sticks apart.

Heading home, wet, dirty & shaggy, but oh so happy.

Please remember to clean up after your dog. If he/she poops on the trail where someone can step on it, just take a stick & push it off into the bush. If you rather use a doggy bag, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BAG BEHIND. 

If your dog is un-predictable & not sociable with other dogs, please have it on a leash. Lighthouse Country trails are off leash trails & we want to keep it that way for the enjoyment for all dogs.
NOTE: Take water, cell phone, heavy stick, bear bells/bear spray (remember it's bear country). You are responsible for self & others in your party.
Thanks.

HAPPY WALKING, HIKING, BIKING & EXPLORING
