So we went out to Dog Slaughter Falls tonight. It wasn't a bad hike, but I think it would have been easier if I hadn't been hauling several pound of camera equipment and being dragged along by a little doggy dynamo. Although no where near as fun without Vivre. There were a couple of places that were so steep I had to take Vivre off leash. It would have been to big a risk to have her navigate some of those rocks while attached to me.
Once we got down to the falls I took her leash off and let her run and play in the river. I'm probably not supposed to let her off leash in a national park, but she sticks close and we were in a bowl so nobody would suprise us and she was unlikely to take off.
I scared her big time when we started back. I tripped on a wet root and went down hard. I have a huge bruise and poor Vivre probably thought I was about to fall on her. When I fell I lost my flashlight. Which was a real pain, though we did make it back to the car before full dark. Though just barely. I am uploading some flickr shots, though it was so dark that I had to use a fairly high iso. Which means that the shots are noisy. I will head out there earlier next time so I can spend more time and get some better shots. Anyway here is a quick video clip I took of her wandering around the river.
After years of working with rescue dogs, I got bit by the sports bug. So I got a schutzhund puppy. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Becky, nice little video. Juno's coloring is very different (she is red and black). Vivre for sure looks much more refined. Wow, girl, be careful! At least you would have had your dog to protect you over night in the park, if you hadn't found your way back!
