travel diary: Adventure Time featuring BMO! I try very hard to make my dog more than a priority, his life should be just as important and full of adventure as mine. Some of my days are ten hours or more working at the vet and I never want him to feel alone or neglected. So we adventure every chance we get whether it be an actual adventure or figurative one taken through film or word. As long as there's a cuddle or two involved. And of course treats! Today we had a little tag a long for our adventure. My mother's pug Baby joined us! For our outing we headed a bit deeper down the bumpy back roads, windows open, classic rock flowing, and let them lead us out to Lincoln. We found ourselves at Louth Falls within the Louth Conservation Area. While we had a great time, the trail and sights are beautiful, this is not one that we will frequent. The top path which runs parallel to the falls has no barrier and is a straight drop down to the rocky water below. The other trails are very rocky and I had to carry these two munchkins through a couple spots (Just casually walking over boulders with a pug under each arm, goofy smiles and all). Mind you they both were more than willing to navigate the terrain on their own. If you didn't know, pugs are stubborn! Bandit especially. He'll be sore and limping one minute and the ripping over logs and over rocks the next. Then he'll sleep for five days. Bear cub. Given both their disabilities this trail wasn't the best fit for them and their energies. They like to go fast when they're together. Baby has one eye and isn't always aware of her surroundings, she often runs into me or Bandit. Bandit on the other hand has pins in one of his front legs, as he broke it in two places when he was about three months old. I will say it was the first trail we've been on lately that didn't have anyone else around. Just me yelling at them alone in the middle of the woods. Talking to them like they're people. You know, normal dog mom things. We've had some truly beautiful weather the last few days. The sun bright and the sky blue. While there's still a bit of a nip to the air we've worked our way down to t-shirts instead of our heavy winter coats. Dog wise. I still need a coat. I really did love this trail though. The forest is littered with moss covered rocks and boulders, ferns crawling around the gaps and tree bases. The sound of the falls fills the air around you. It felt like a place fairies would gather. I can't wait to head back once spring is in full swing and the forest is truly living and lush. Maybe with just my man, he's much chiller when it's just the two of us. - N & B shop this postBaby's tee is a few seasons old and no longer available. travel Playlist
