A gorgeous Carolina day. At the park. Coop working on Search and Find game. Then in the water. And finish his walk. It is so important to let our dogs be a dog and do what comes natural - use their nose.

Cooper’s new friend to play with - Miss Molly. She is not mine - belongs to a friend. Coop is thrilled to play and chase balls with her.

Had brunch at the Old Cardinal Cafe with an awesome group this morning. Afterwards, Coop and I took an hour stroll through Old Winston Salem. Came across a sweet elderly man that wanted to say Hello to Coop and he took an impromptu picture. Coop is such a ham❤️

Hiked the 12 mile Corridor Trail this morning in the light rain. Coop had fun with all the water, rain, and of course mud. After he slithered in the mud on his belly for a bit, my hope was he would go in one of the streams to get some of it off. Nope, he decided to run and jump over every stream we came to. Good thing I brought a couple towels with me. He made me chuckle because he was having a ball, mud and all.

Hiked Grindstone trail today- 8 miles. When Coop saw people, automatically came into Heel position, walking pass people and other dogs. We want to have trail etiquette and respect everyone - people and animals - so that everyone has a good experience. He was awesome. Having a trained dog allows your dog freedoms in being out and about with you enjoying life together. Beautiful, warm day and now on our way.

Coop and I are back on the trails. Today was Pilot Creek Trail - 8 miles. We will be exploring Carolina trails, picking new ones every weekend. Love the woods, tranquility and being with my partner Coop. He and I are a team❤️

Cody transitioned today to doggie Heaven. He has wings now. This picture was taken by Kevin when Cody was about 8 months old, a long lanky adolescent. Kevin used to call him “The King.” Kevin also used to say, “Cody runs like the wind and with the wind.” Cody had a magnificent life of hiking, swimming, fetching his ball on land and water, nosework, agility, riding in the WufWagin with his Dad, Tory and Mr. Smittals. He lived in the moment and enjoyed every moment and was ready for what was next. Before he came into mine and Kevin’s life, he was hit by a car and that is how we came to receive and adopt the gift of Cody. He managed to survive and got a second chance at life. He did not waste a minute of his life. At 18 years old, all four legs were making walking difficult and recently progressed as well as some breathing challenges that were in the beginning stages of quick decline. He is now out of a de lining body limiting his still youthful spirit. He is King of the mountains again and running as fast as the wind blows. Cody, my love….always and forever.

And this is why you want a good ”Leave IT” and “Let’s Go” without hesitation. Me and Coop- always using our Cues, taking our Cues, and Moving on.
