  1. Just cannot imagine any path without a pack. May your Maggie have miles and miles of hikes in her future.

  2. Oh we love the 2001-2010 hike tour, starting with photos where Effie was still "leading" the pack ;-)
    Every picture is gorgeous and holds very special memories for you.
    We are glad Maggie is still going strong, as strong as she can and we wish her many special moments/hikes to come!

  3. Your dogs are in great condition because you keep doing this. They are beautiful and I'm sure, very happy. Great photos.

  4. She's a beautiful dog, love those hikes with our best friends...I've yet to master a hike with my dog AND horse... the two don't go together..unfortunately around here too much road crossing to worry agout with the loose dog.

  5. Lovely series of hike shots. I've taken those shorter walks with an older dog too, and know how difficult it is, but at the same time how wonderful it is to share their joy at getting to go.

  6. Morris says he enjoyed the tour of photos with me...and hinted about another hike this afternoon.
    If it were not for my love of dogs, I wouldn't be in such great shape.

    Thank you Maggie and of course MJ!
