What did you do today?

[Mike]

No I got Hairy ( Ober) at the same time as Steve (white Alpine).  I just was not taking him out before.  I got him from a New Moon rescue for friend of mine but it did not work out wth his wife so I took him.  I was told by the woman who runs the rescue is 10 to 13 yrs old.  I though that was to old to pack, but he seam to enjoy being out in the woods.  And my daughter has really stepped up and taken ownership of him so it works out good.
Garbie (the large tan alpine) was the one that took off on me the first time I let him off his lad and ended up back at my truck.  He has come a long way since  got him.  I kept him on his lead on the way to our day camp.  But when we where ready to go back I let hom off.  I 100% expected him to beat feet for the truck, but he did not.  I was amazed.  I put alot of work in this winter with the three of them and my kids to make a system that would work and it seamed to pay off the other day.  I am not going to claim total victory yet.  After a couple more trips then maybe.
